what a blessing that I live in an era where I can watch my favorite composer of all time post youtube videos jamming out. truly legendary.

This is actually a curse...dont let that go over your head.

❤ Loved my childhood, just me and MegaDrive 🙌🎉

[@eagledee7753]

I was 16, learning martial arts, going to high school and listening to this music on my Walkman, because I passed through the Megadrive's minijack output to a radiocassette and recorded the game's tunes in a cassette.

[@Brian4hand]

That’s baller

[@_skyyskater]

yaaaassssss! I did the same thing!! I have many tapes from both Genesis and SNES. I also did martial arts my whole life too lol

[@boyfinn6751]

Developers need to bring soundtests back

[@ACLMSC]

I had my Genesis hooked up to a stereo with floor standing 3 way speakers. I would play the intro over and over. I never heard bass like that from a video game before.

[@AaronCarrington]

I thought I was the only person who ever did anything like this!

[@vincentwarte4435]

The second I hear that melody, the instant I turn into a 7 year old kid, with the smell of a fresh Mega Drive cartridge cluttering into my nose, imagining the old CRT in front of me, sitting on my old couch with the toys spread out on the ground. While it's dark and snowy outside, the beautiful SoR title screen would bear me with the light and warmth I needed so much. The melody would lull me into a sense of security. I was always wondering who that Mr. "Yuzo Koshiro", whose name was on the title screen, is. How is he like? What does he do? Where does he live? It was impossible to figure it out, internet was not available to me back then.

[@tdelfino2509]

The magic of the internet, suddenly all of those names on the screen in the 90s can become real 😌

[@NikosKatsikanis]

you summed up a generation

[@fteambjj]

Same same here man

[@foreverretro8298]

My wife just yelled at me to turn it down. There is no way I would turn down a Koshiro-san composed masterpiece. Only way the volume goes during this is UP. Thank you,Koshiro-san! Much love and admiration from the United States.

[@demadeefy]

Yup! You must convince your wife of the greatness of Koshiro-San. Case Extreme, divorce 😉😉

[@foreverretro8298]

@@demadeefy I will treat her to some as I have lots of his masterpieces on my MP3 player. Going to catch her off guard and if she has "hey...what is this?" that will mean she likes it. All respect must go to a staple in video game music history and that is none other than Koshiro-San!

[@demadeefy]

Yes! TURN IT UP!!

[@Moonwalker86]

I was 5 years old sitting there playing and listening to that intro, today I'm 36, watching and listening to this. Thank You Legend.

[@GameSack]

Outstanding sound once again! Always nice to hear old tunes updated to sound better while still keeping the spirit of the original. I love seeing your DAW screen as well. Also, thanks for the WAV downloads!

[@zackaccount]

Game Sack sent me here. thanks for the suggestion and thanks for the great music Yuzo. it really brings me back

[@ptakleo]

man I've marathoned your Console-crunch's to death! thanks for all those hours

[@TrueNeutralEvGenius]

The sound of a different era. Sadly, that era is gone. But still warmly remembered, especially by some of us. Bravo, dear Yuzo.

[@user-x256]

You made our childhood a wonderful memory that will stay with us for the rest of our lives❤

[@J2DaT19]

Used to rock out to this as a kid. I turned it on and my 4-year old just came out of the room dancing. This is timeless. I love it.

[@Soundwave-F7Z]

The nostalgia makes me cry

[@Yuzoboy]

Excellent work Koshiro-San! Really enjoyed the increased punch you've given this arrangement :)

[@vincentwarte4435]

Only scrolled down to the comment section to check, if Yuzoboy has already commented.

[@falksi3182]

You're a legend Yuzo. These tunes are timeless. Love the piano switch.

[@maaramori3404]

After countless remixes of the title theme made by different people, the master himself stands up and shows the world how it is done.

[@tats_sacs]

Always listened to this using the megadrive headphone jack at full volume. Love every second of the track.

[@JSinval]

After what feels like forever, I've finally discovered the person behind the music that has been the backdrop to so many of my nostalgic moments. It's amazing how a melody can transport you back in time, isn't it? A huge shout out to Yuzo Koshiro for creating such a beautiful piece that resonates with so many of us. Your music has truly touched my soul and memories, and I just wanted to express my gratitude.

[@Afrotechmods]

You make it look effortless

[@Alex_stukov]

Спасибо за детство и хорошие музыкальные предпочтения!

[@gnen7680]

Sounds even better than the original, well done Koshiro-san

[@kunkkaralho]

I didn't even know you had a YT channel. Thank you so much for this. Japan has some of the best composers ever.

[@McAlby]

When listening to the original track and your recent mix, I though that the M1 piano would fit perfectly together with the 909 drums. Now I see I wasn't alone :D Thanks for sharing!

[@warpigs330]

I am wanting to recreate that sound, and I am confused. The original M1 piano sound was a sample, but he is using the opsix, which is only fm synthesis, no samples, as far as I know. If anyone has an idea of the patch, like what type of algorithm and what the ratios are, I would love to hear a breakdown, as this is the best FM piano I have heard.

[@McAlby]

@@warpigs330 He's also using a Korg Wavestate for the second part of the video, and that one has the M1 Piano sample sound.

[@alextirrellRI]

@@warpigs330 I still marvel at how good he was able to get an FM piano to sound on the original MD/Genesis version, and it was 4-OP there!

[@levi5073]

Best videogame soundtrack of all time. Even Koji Kondo and Nobuo Unematsu wish they came up with this music. Yuzo is the GOAT!

[@ilkeryasinyildiz]

I can't hold my tears! What a legendary arrangement! 😭 I become very happy to see Koshiro-san still composing and jamming 😊 Great loves from Turkiye!!!

[@josephstaples9832]

I did not expect the tears. What a trip.

[@MortalisPT]

I was born in 1995 and only started playing games in the early 2000s. This game was one of the first i ever played and it was/is wonderfull...

[@danielnicholson6174]

This takes me back to 1990 as a 14 year old at the megadrive launch here in Australia, still one of my favourite games of all time and still play it regularly at 48, thanks Yuzo cant wait for your new shoot em up.

[@BoonetheAgentsofHAILCreator]

You are by far my most biggest influence in game music, Koshiro-san!

[@latexzebra5693]

I remember getting this game home. And when the intro music started. I immediately phoned my mate and played it to him over the phone. I couldn't believe that the music we were listening to in clubs was suddenly on a video game.

[@M1k1haus]

My childhood right here. Thanks for the tracks. My love for music came from the streets of rage series.

[@AxelStone]

30 seconds in and it's already great! keep up the good work and happy new year Koshiro-san! 🎇

[@Sina1989J]

Childhood memories.❤😢

[@AstalThe9]

I honestly thought this was your only claim to fame, until I started looking at your discography and realized you did Namco x Capcom and so many of my other favorite OSTs. You are amazing!

[@shishiomakoto4788]

Been jammin to this soundtrack for over 20 years

[@rollthetape88]

Koshiro-San this music still sounds fresh today even though the voices are intrinsically '90s. Genius ahead of his time. This should be included in Cyberpunk.

[@user-ud4dh9tt1g]

古代先生のアレンジを聴けるだけでもうれしいのに、その上wavまで！本当にありがとうございます。いい曲、いい音です😊

[@Smittz]

things like this is why im thankful for the internet man

[@supersam5772]

As a kid in the 90s I loved to play Streets of Rage 2. Actually Skate was my favorite character. The soundtrack was way too advanced for its time and at one time I had wondered how to get the songs on a cassette lol. The story song, to me sounded like sadness 1 by Enigma. At the time we all thought that a variant of it was placed in the game. Thanks for this review. Great video as always.

[@Alex-up9fh]

The ship level music of Sor1 is my favorite. Hugs from Brazil. Thats songs came back deep childhood feelings of a time that dont return unfortunately.

[@dononeeye9912]

Yuzo Koshiro & Yoko Shimomura, two of the best!

Let's make it a triangle, with Michiru Yamane right there.

[@ArnisKaliFlow]

absolute poetry

[@neilmclean1527]

This is so good to hear. Brings back so many happy memories playing SoR with friends through the years. What stands out for me is how the soundtrack doesn’t feel limited by the Mega Drive’s capabilities. You really used the MD as an instrument.

[@harrygreenfeld4964]

Incredible. No computer game has music this well composed anymore, limitations, available memory, fitting to loop, thematically resonant - it's flawless. Thank you for showing us!! 😊

[@yamapikarya215]

hear some music from yousuke yasui and tell me that again, there's still some nice soundtracks on fm synths in today videogames too!

[@shanecade7770]

My favorite SEGA game and the best soundtrack ever composed for the way it makes you feel with regards to each level and boss. I still listen to the surf at end game to feel chilled.

[@grimmdanny]

This intro song is timeless. It never gets old. Since I was a kid playing Streets of Rage for the first time, and even to this day, I have it as part of my everyday playlist while I am working, driving, or even relaxing. It's going to be with me to the end.

[@RoninGrey]

Just found this video & channel today. The theme still takes me back to Christmas '92 when my dad first got us a Genesis, along with this game and Sonic 2. This theme in particular never fails to get me to get up and move (I've even had it as my alarm tone for the past 15 years). Koshiro-san, if you see this, I want to thank you for the work you did.

[@DKW1975]

I loved the Streets of Rage series. 5he action in the game was a lot of fun and the music only added to it. My buddies and I had the entire soundtrack memorize because we played them so much.

[@daFalcon3000]

Yo, love how that funky president sample kicks in. Who could have thought. Pure genius.

[@ClockedIt]

Those additional layers...oh man, just too good. Thanks for sharing this Mr Koshiro. This intro theme is everything.

[@stevenwongso66]

Thank you for this masterpiece, Koshiro-san. I remembered when I rented my very first megadrive game was Bare Knuckle. My family was too poor to buy a cartridge at that time. I played this with my brother and when Bare Knuckle 4 comes out, my couch coop was instantly revived.

[@bluekaygaming]

OH. MY. GOD.

[@DJSunken]

The more I dig into programming my Yamaha DX7 II-D, the more I understand how difficult it was to make such a beautiful soundtrack with a 4-op FM processor! A true work of genius!

From learning about you to now sending you comments, I feel like I'm two steps closer to one of my favorite composers of all time. Incredible composer who not only writes excellent music, but also understands the technical parts of synthesis deeply.

I've been digging this soundtrack since it came out. It was so entertaining watching this dude who, certainly knows music, discover the beauty of the SofR soundtrack. Taught me how technically bad ass MY taste is as well. Heh thanks

[@epw0031]

Wow! I grew up enjoying your music in the 90s. Streets of Rage was one of my favorite games to play. I still work out in the gym to your music from that game.

[@InflatableConan]

Mr. Koshiro, thank you so much for your contributions to the music world. Your Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack is incredibly powerful. Whenever I think about the first time playing it in 1992 when it came packed in with my Sega Genesis I'll always remember being absolutely blown away by the music you implemented in it. If I had to describe it in one word, that word would be "powerful" Because that's exactly what it is. Thanks again for the inspiration. You are tremendously appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work, sir. In the words of Soulcalibur on the Sega Dreamcast.. "The legend will never die."

[@chaosfirephoenix]

You are truly a legend and it's an honor to be able to see you play this masterpiece.

[@Rossesh101]
