Congrats! 1 more to go!
Interestingly, I just a read a random review that Kabuki Den has some of the best music that the PC Engine has to offer (the guy thought better than Ys ??), so I'll have to check that out, see if there's something worth adding to my MP3 Jukebox player.
Kabuki Den does have a sweet soundtrack. I especially like the ending theme.
Also, the overworld theme in Manjimaru was composed by Joe Hisaishi, who also composed many of the Studio Ghibli films. Just goes to show how huge of a project these games were at the time.
Here it is:
I brought this back from the dead because SuperPlay recently picked up the soundtrack and I was wondering if there were any surprises on it.
I have the original Manjimaru soundtrack as well as the remake soundtrack. What kind of surprises were you hoping for?
The original comes with a calender and has chip tunes (some of which sound different to me, I haven't compared them to real hardware yet).
The remake has the same tracks in the same order, only on two discs. The chip tune tracks have been replaced by their remakes. There are three extra tracks, the last of which is a "Jingle Collection".
One surprising thing is that the original soundtrack was published by NEC Ave.
