Jet Set Radio Future - Funky Dealer | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

I highly encourage you to look into Hideki Naganuma's other stuff like "The Concept of Love." Generally, just check out the entire OST he did for Jet Set Radio and Future, as well as "Ain't Nothin' Like a Funky Beat" and "Pumpin' Jumpin'," both of which he made for indie games.

[@mcihay246]

I guess Sonic Rush would also be included considering he also did that soundtrack.

[@tesleentwiceforgiven6063]

... I can't not........ UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE HOUH!

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

but most importantly look into Air Gear ost which he did without a name on it but the entire OST just *drips* with this style at the core and it's fuckin amazing

[@Justacheese]

@@tesleentwiceforgiven6063 I've listened to that song so many times, I heard it blasting in my ear the moment I started reading your comment dude.

[@Ianadaya]

Y’all, don’t forget his latest release for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk; Jack Da Funk! Just look out for stuff from that game in general, it’s gonna be one hell of a drop

[@Gardelain]

JSR has such a unique soundtrack that has done *so much* to give the name such a longtime recognition. It's a downright timeless classic.

[@methos4866]

Hideki Naganuma is a beast. He did the soundtrack for both Jet Set Radio games and they are absolute classics. He also did the Sonic Rush ost and a bunch of other stuff. All worth reacting to, especially the Jet Set Radio ost's.

[@devildante9]

I love how happy Jesse looks through the song, haven't seen him smile so much during a reaction

[@Redblaze27]

The Jet Set Radio series is more about the underground music scene of Japan in the late 90's/early 2000's. They could have made one as an arcade game, but its more an objective based game (generally spraying graffiti).

[@nickelakon5369]

Same team made an arcade game called "Ollie King" and it has a very similar style.

[@VelvetAura]

YES!! Finally a Jet Set Radio track on this channel! The entire series is gold, and Hideki Naganuma is incredible. JSR had such a unique sound for a video game soundtrack. I hope there are more JSR/JGR tracks in store, and Sonic Rush too, that's a phenomenal OST. Just so you know Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio was a Dreamcast game. Jet Set Radio Future however was an OG Xbox game.

[@thenonexistinghero]

Even to this day, never released on any other system officially (but I think modern Xbox supports it through BC).

[@PPN462]

@ʙ ᴇ ꜱ ᴛ ᴇ ꜱ ᴛ Jet Grind Radio is indeed just the US name of Jet Set Radio. Game was released on Dreamcast and later on PC. Unfortunately Future was only ever released on Xbox. But it was bundled with the console later on, so a lot of Xbox owners have likely played Future.

I call this era of sega games "the end of blue skies and green hills sega"

[@tarqosis34]

Oh man, I was just listening to JSRF a few days ago. This OST is fantastic. Would toss out "Aisle 10 (Hello Allison)" and "Concept of Love" if you want more recs.

[@TheSylvirr]

HELLO ALLISON I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND--

nah he should react to birthday cake. I unironically love that song but it sure is... unique.

[@LockelyFox]

Hideki Naganuma is an electronic music god and such an insanely unique style. JSR (known as Jet Grind Radio) was originally on the Dreamcast, and JSRF was on the original Xbox. You can play an HD Remaster of the original JSR on PC these days, the gameplay is very, very arcadey but is honestly in my top two games of all time. Usually on sale, can be cleared in 4-5 hours for a new player. Very highly recommend taking an evening one day sitting down and trying it out!

[@rawrharhar]

Dude yessssss. Also that reminds me - can't wait til we get Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. You have to listen to some of it with the rest of us when it drops!

[@TheSylvirr]

Jet Set Radio Future was an Xbox release-title and is STILL extremely hard to find to this day. It came either in a single disc or the version I had, bundled onto the same disc as Sega Racing GT. Because Xbox games are extremel difficult to emulate, it's really hard to find it as an emulator as well. The original (Jet Set Radio) is available on xbox game pass and was a free release on Steam a few years back, but JSRF (which I think is objectively better than the first one!) is much harder to find and if you want to get a disc, it'll run you upwards of 60-70 dollars. It also won't play in an Xbox One (but it WILL play, albeit with some framerate issues) on a 360.

[@Decitsu]

I still got my old copy for the game so I'm happy. Didn't knew it's so rare til now

[@OkamiPrincess15]

Oh man I LOVE Hideki Naganuma’s stuff! He wasn’t just the music composer for the Jet Set Radio games, he also did Sonic Rush, the Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku games (spin off of the Yakuza games, love the music from those) and Dead Heat Riders. He also did music for a bunch of other games (that he wasn’t the composer for) and a few songs for a couple anime too (“LOVE SENSATION" and "SKY-2-HIGH" for Air Gear, credited by his nom de plume ‘skankfunk’, and an uncredited remix "Fuusen Gum -Gintama mix-" for Gin Tama)

[@heehoo3685]

OH MY GOD you're going to enjoy this so much, hideki naganuma has some great songs in his body of work, and I really hope you're gonna enjoy!!

[@DmnHd81]

Funky/DJ style music was in at those time. It even got in fighting games like SF3 Dudley's "You Blow My Mind" and Chun Li's "China Vox" as far to SVC2 "This Is True Love Makin". Maybe also check out "Fairy" and "Dust Man" from the King Of Fighters 96 Arranged Soundtrack.

[@DannCaeruleum]

A lot of Sega Games have some of the most iconic songs out there. Y'all like Jazz? Persona has you covered! You like a bit of Upbeat pop? Bayonetta is your girl! Like some good rap? Check out both "Mad world" and the sequel to the game "Anarchy Reigns" You want to sing a long and enjoy some cool guitar? Sonic has everything! Sega has everything that is catchy and good! It is pure bliss! In contrast to Nintendo's orchestra oriented music.

[@budakbaongsiah]

Well, for orchestra you got the Total War series with Jeff van Dyck and Richard Beddow haha

[@OniGundamSeed]

Dynasty Warriors 2-3 had music that fondled your soul like Men of intelligence and Gravity form an era of games where music set the pace Samurai Warriors did the same Osaka Castle theme

[@secretagenttau2233]

Damn I love the soundtrack for this game. It perfectly fits the game of rebel skaters who defy the government

[@fallenlulu1]

Literal chills from that hit of nostalgia

[@jwfro2021]

The soundtrack for this game is elite. Having played this game in the early 2000s, it still holds a special place in my heart. To the point where I still listen to it regularly for work outs and such.

[@Vulkans]

Even though I never thought JSR or JSRF were all that, I did love the soundtracks. My favorite Naganuma track is Boarder 70. My Naganuma related story: Way back when, there was a skateboarding arcade game also scored by Hideki Naganuma called Ollie King, the arcade cabinet featured a physical skateboard fitted with sensors that you would stand on and pivot like a real skateboard, along with a pair of guard rails on the sides so people wouldn't fall off the thing and paralyze themselves while playing. Somebody in one of the local arcade joints that carried the game had the bright idea to remove the guard rails for that extra bit of realism, everybody loved it up until some kid got into it too hard, slipped and broke his arm plus some teeth. Fast forward a month later, the place got sued to the ground and was forced to close. Moral of the story: If you want to try your hand at skateboarding, do it on the horribly unsafe skateboarding game instead and make big bank when you don't stick the landing. For a heapin' helping of videogame funk, I would recommend the song "Never Get Out of the Car" from the game Interstate '76.

[@leon4000]

Another Moral of the story: 1) You can only do so much to do everything right in arcade game development, and yet it takes one person to go and undo the work you did for the people who could play it safe. 2. Some people aren't so smart, right down to not letting anybody in the personnel of whoever owned the arcade joint what the aforementioned idiot did. 3. Any smart person would report that! For the guy running the arcade possibly unaware of what was happening until after he got hit with lawsuits.

[@spych0367]

my buddy is a deathmetal guitar player but hes been friends with me a hip hop and funk head since we were like 9 this is one of his favorite games of all time andhe said its solely because of the soundtrack edit also if you love the bass here like i do i highly recommend listening to 80s japanese music their bass players were so ahead of their time as well as a band cibo matto they have a song on this birthday cake the singer actually became noodle from the gorillaz

[@virgilwilliams2378]

It's the horn stabs that won me over with that song.

[@kadshiri6513]

Yoooo seeing Jet Set Radio content on this channel makes me extremely happy hahaha

[@metalbutterflygaming1544]

Jet Set Radio Future is an original XBox game and the soundtrack to this is literal pure golden masterpiece for sure. Jet Grind Radio (the title change for the dreamcast game here in North America) that soundtrack was amazing too.

[@nathanross1460]

JSRF music was PARAMOUNT to me getting into becoming a game composer, myself. I grew up on making hiphop/computer-ized punk, etc and when I realized that soundtracks like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 and Jet Set EXISTED... I was like... man, I need to get involved in some indie projects. Thanks for the breakdown, bro! Instant sub!

[@vactus]

I desperately need a new Jet Set game. I put so many hours into JSRF in 2002-2004

"Bomb Rush Cyberfunk ".(which Naganuma does ost for i believe)

[@KitsyX]

Jet Set Radio Future is maybe similar to some of the skateboarding games like Tony Hawks Pro Skater in terms of movement, but crossed with a bit of SSX... But it's also a bit more of a collect-a-thon game, like maybe Banjo Kazooie or the like... You know? 3D exploration, finding collectables etc... Now and again you'll have to contend with the police coming after you or you might have to take part in races or a kind of keep-away game with a ball or something... I think the original Jet Set Radio game (I think called Jet Grind Radio in some region(s)) was somewhat different... Bit more like older Tony Hawks Pro Skater, with a time limit and you select areas rather than traveling between them... Anyway, I do really enjoy the soundtrack to these games, but god, one time I was crazy enough to stay up all night playing the game and, in my sleep deprived state, the music really tripped me out lol. Probably not the best thing to listen to in such circumstances... Unless you want to trip out, in which case it's great ^_^;; Do it responsibly though...

[@PhantomShadow224]

I love that it’s like 60s sports commentary but remixed

[@FallsNight]

JSRF was on the double game disc that I got with the original Xbox. Have not stopped listening to the soundtrack since.

[@InfernoZX5]

Im smiling so much seeing someone appreciate this specific song. Hideki has plenty bangers but this one is one of the special ones to me.

[@iggypop1011]

that comment on master Rodgers so accurate!!!

[@xXFoiXx]

Here a few Hip Hop Game OST Requests to mix it up on this channel. MadWorld - Ain't that Funny Max Anarchy - Kill 'Em All Max Anarchy - My Town, My City Honestly both OSTs are so good I am struggling to pick favorites. You could just randomly pick any song and you have a great one. Oh and both the Persona 3 Dancing and the Persona 4 Dancing Openings are great.

[@logandaley1544]

This brings back memories of playing Jet Set Radio Future on the original Xbox with Halo and Mechassult. I would recommend “The Concept of Love” from the same game. It’s the one that gets stuck in my head most often.

[@GhostOfRazgiz]

Sometimes it's all about that funk.

[@Slagomancer]

If you come back to this series in the future, Miller Ball Breakers and The Scrappy are two of my personal favorites but this whole Soundtrack has a tremendous feel to it.

[@artistanthony1007]

Technopathic, Technopathic Disco Remix and Sneakman are my favorite Jet Set Radio Themes.

[@swayitocarl]

An absolute banger for its time and even today

[@onilao]

Jet set radio has some great funky music in general

[@macoud12]

Jet Set Radio originally released on the Dreamcast and was later ported to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Jet Set Radio Future was and still is only playable on the original Xbox.

[@CrazyNooX]

Jet Set Radio is an amazing game, and the soundtrack is a banger all the way. BUT. May I give a shout-out for the Gunbound battle OST on the background while Jesse is doing his analysis and reaction to the song? Also another banger and a nostalgic throwback

[@TheAngryBeard]

JSR, both the games and the soundtracks, are the stuff of legend. 'Nuff said.

JET SET RADIOOOOOOO

[@treagoplays]

Jet set radio was not a super popular game but it was a pack in game for Xbox after dreamcast really fell off so it has a bigger player base than you'd think and many people love the sound track. It's all over the place in the best way

[@Die-Coughman]

Hideki Naganuma also made a remix of a persona song for one of the dancing spinoffs

[@christophhofland8890]

JSRF is such a odd game and its soundtrack just revels in it. Its pretty great.

Future was a sort of reboot for the og Xbox. Super underrated game. I actually prefer the future version of “Humming the bassline”

[@KooriKami]

If you love this and Sonic music (and honestly how could anyone not, in both cases), the same guy did the Sonic Rush soundtracks (and it sounds like it too).

Cool channel, but you gotta react to more out there stuff....very lopsided towards JRPGs :) Take care.
