Shinobi III - He Runs (CPX77 Rearranged Version)

Rearranged music from one of the best soundtracks ever released in videogames: Shinobi III - Return of The Ninja Master. I will never forget what I thought when I first played the game and listened to the entire score: "This should be played by a jazz fusion band or rearranged by someone else".
My intention is to keep the formal structure of each music and apply minor variations only in shorter compositions. The entire soundtrack will be released: A total of 22 musics including from an early beta version of the game .
Music composed by Hirofumi Murasaki, Morihiko Akiyama and Masayuki Nagao. Produced, rearranged and mastered by CapricornX at Fasnia Studio.
Originaly released by SEGA in 1993.

A couple of weeks ago I was womdering if someone has already done it hehe...

[@cybermx8896]

@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 I can try asking a friend to do it, but I don't know if he has time for his work. Do you authorize me to use your soundtrack for the patch if my friend agrees to make an MSU-MD+ patch?

Finding this channel and these soundtracks today was my favorite surprise Xmas present. I can't wait to hear "Shadows" rearranged

Many thanks! :-)

It's been such a hard work, but the result worthwhile! A dream I've been having since 1993 :-)

@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 no problem! I doing that ost too because i do music too but yours sounds better, I already made 4 songs of that ost

[@pepomega]

Sounds great! Can you make please the game over, continue, life loss, all lifes lost tracks? because now with the msu md patches, you can play megadrive games with cd quality music. And there are tracks like all those i mentioned that doesnt have a cover.

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

Sure thing :-) I'm rearranging the entire soundtrack ;-) - Have you listened the other ones here in my channel ?

[@pepomega]

​@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 Yeah, i liked them a lot. It was time for someone to cover all this soundtrack. People gives a lot of love for the revenge of shinobi ost but not for the shinobi 3 ost (aside whirlwind and idaten)

@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 You were in the same situation as goku against Hirudegarn : If I don't do it, WHO WILL?!

[@junebyrd]

Ooh, do tell me more about this. I'd *love* to play Shinobi 3 with this soundtrack.

[@jeanlundi2141]

I'm not that really into Shinobi 3's soundtrack. Yuzo Koshiro works in Revenge of the Shinobi is what I think when I think of Shinobi music.

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

Both soundtracks are great; however, we cannot deny that the Shinobi III musics are far more complex and richer. They are the perfect blend of Jazz Fusion and World Music with a hint of Hard Rock. The music structures are fantastic when we think that they were done on the YM2612. I get speechless when listening not only to the musics, but also when I isolate the Bass lines, drums, harmonies and melodies...

[@jeanlundi2141]

@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 There's craftiness and musicianship involved no doubt. It just doesn't make for great music in comparison with the first game. It's like boring prog rock........yeah it's more complex, but it's boring :)
