  1. Sonic Team's official Sonic X website has been updated with new information on the ending themes. The anime's second ending theme, from Ayo Hiroshige, is now available to buy on CD from Universal Music. The Japanese name for the song is called "光る道", or 'Hikaru Michi' ('Shining Road'), and the CD single includes this ending theme along with two other tracks - a karaoke version of the same song and another one called "私というReason" ('The Reason Called Me'). You can see the information on the CD and the artist on Sonic Team's website here, or on Universal Music Japan's website here. If you want to pre-order the CD and import it from Japan, you can do so from the CDJapan online shop.
  2. If you're a subscriber to music streaming service Spotify, and are following the official Sonic the Hedgehog or "SEGA SOUND TEAM" artists, you might have noticed a new single that dropped yesterday titled 'Sonic Chad'. Spoiler alert: it is almost certainly not official, but Spotify would have you believe it is. The absolutely bizarre release contains three tracks, each around two minutes in length. Two of these tracks are in fact "sped up" or "slowed down" versions of the first one, and that first track consists of nothing but a brief, looping (and very weird) electronic beat. Besides the strange cover art (which we presume is AI generated), there's nothing to suggest that it has anything to do with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The artists listed (beyond SEGA SOUND TEAM and Sonic the Hedgehog, which we can only assume is a hilarious mistake) include two unknowns: "Zynthonic" and "CONTRV-PHONK". You can listen to the album here: It's likely that this was a tagging snafu on Spotify's end - we can totally imagine that this was just some chancer that tried (and succeeded) to submit their album with the SEGA Sound Team artist label, and it got approved without anybody verifying it. But it's so hilariously random that we had to write something about it. Just in the interests of being thorough, we've reached out to SEGA to find out if this really is official or not. If they come back and say it's real though, we might honestly end up with more questions than answers. Many thanks to @Maple Syrup for spotting this absolute gem of randomness.

  4. The 2021 Sonic 30th Anniversary Symphony concert was so successful that they decided to do a world tour, and it is happening right now. They've been traveling all over the United States, as well as making occasional stops internationally, playing multiple decades of Sonic the Hedgehog music. Now, we're getting a rare look at how they prepare for the show behind-the-scenes with a brand new video! 2024-symphony-bts-vid.mp4 Of course, keep in mind that this isn't a documentary or anything. It's just a 45 second long video that the official Sonic Symphony account on Twitter posted. It's also just one song, which is I'm Here, the main theme of Sonic Frontiers. And since it's not even a minute long, it isn't even the entire song. Still, it is showing a rehearsal of the song, and although it's brief, it isn't something that we see often. That all said, there's a very real possibility that we could see more behind-the-scenes footage someday. The Sonic Symphony is one of the very few things that Sonic fans in general enjoy with very little disagreements, so there is absolutely no harm in showing more. In the meantime, their next show will be in Montreal, Canada this weekend, so if you're going to be attending, you don't have much longer to wait to see the results of all this rehearsing!

  6. It goes without saying that one of the significant, most impactful elements of a Sonic the Hedgehog game (or just a SEGA game in general) is its music. For over 30 years, masterful tunes from Masato Nakamura, Jun Senoue, Richard Jacques, Tee Lopes et al have all helped burn our experiences of these games into our memories - and now a fan on YouTube is celebrating this by crafting a unique playlist that couples classic tracks with VHS-style visuals to offer an intensely nostalgic audio trip. The following videos were created by a channel called 'Low Poly', and offers a series of "relaxing" and "cozy" songs from the Dreamcast and SEGA Saturn era to nod along to while working, browsing, or napping! The music is accompanied by scenes of Sonic Adventure (for the Dreamcast video) and Sonic R (for the Saturn one) using a program called "ntscQT" to digitally alter the picture so that it looks super-retro. It's simple, but it's incredibly novel and effective - I've certainly enjoyed watching the calming scenes of Station Square while At Dawn plays out in the background. As a 1990s kid who remembers playing the original Sonic Adventure on his (not tiny at the time!) 14" CRT VHS/TV combo in his bedroom, this is hitting all the right notes for me. Give it a listen when you have a spare moment - grab a cup of tea, get comfy in a chair and let the classic Sonic music chill you out for an hour or so. Here's the Dreamcast Era music video: And here's the SEGA Saturn Era music video: We hope you have a relaxing and chilled-out week! I know that I sure will be! Original Post Content: View full story

  8. The first episode of the US version of Sonic X aired over the last weekend on Fox Box, and since then there's been some negative reaction from American fans over the dubbing and editing choices that localisation company 4Kids has made. Now, there is an organised plan from pockets of the fanbase to send feedback on the music choices in the anime. Many fans have compared the US Sonic X dub with the Japanese-language original, and found a number of significant audio and script changes. The biggest of these is the music, of which the Japanese soundtrack has apparently been replaced entirely with a set of music seemingly picked or produced by 4Kids. A Sonic HQ post links to a forum topic on MoogleMB about the campaign, and how fans should approach it. Kulock writes: You can read the text in full below, but the idea from Kulock and other fans is to make sure that the feedback is submitted to 4Kids in a professional and respectful manner, without resorting to insults or immature threats. Hopefully this campaign can get its voice heard and in a polite and respectful manner. We'll let you know how this goes.
  9. A new chapter opens for SEGA's in-house sound and music production studio, 'Wave Master Co', as it announces that it will be creating two record labels to support its game soundtrack and pop music ambitions. The music production department, which has been responsible for developing the music for many SEGA game (including Sonic the Hedgehog titles), will start commercially releasing the SEGA game soundtracks it produces under the 'Wave Master Entertainment' label. 'Wave Master Entertainment' will also release soundtracks from various movies and anime, but it sounds like its focus will be on in-house SEGA projects. Interestingly, the second record label, 'Wave Master Artists', instead aims to pursue the mainstream J-pop market, with an aim to court popular Japanese artists and handle their new CD releases. To that end, SEGA announced that an agreement has already been concluded with Avex Distribution Co to begin work with some of their artists. The inital lineup includes Juria Matsuda, Hayabusa Jones, El Malo and Spinning Q Factor. The first titles under the 'Wave Master Artists' label are scheduled to release on October 1, while the initial soundtracks from 'Wave Master Entertainment' will launch from November 5. Source: SEGA
  10. Our second interview with Sonic Hacking Community (SHaC) webmaster, Damian 'Saxman' Grove, focuses on the community leader's interests in music, and his latest projects in that area. Beyond that, we discuss the new SHaC-owned newsletter, forum launches and other things. Sonic_Hedgehogs has the scoop. TSS: Hey, SH here with a second interview with our friend Saxman, hows it going? Saxman: Hey SH, it's going great, and I'm happy to be here! TSS: Thats great! ^_^ To give people who haven't read our first interview, tell us briefly who you are and what's your background. Saxman: Well, I'm from the old Sonic community, before SSRG even existed. I am usually credited as the "guy who kick-started the Sonic 'hacking' scene," which really it was a community effort. I created the first ROM hacking documentation for a Sonic game -- that was the Sonic 2 Hacking Guide. Later, I left SSRG, created a website called Sonic Hacking Community (known also as 'SHaC'), and recently I have been recording a bunch of songs -- both cover and original. I guess that sums up my basic identity in the community. TSS: Tell us about your music, isn't it true you're currently trying to get your music on the radio? Saxman: Yes, I have been in contact with several radio stations -- a couple in Maryland, one in Pennsylvania, one in Virginia, and one somewhere in Canada. When I get my recordings finished, I'm supposed to send a CD to the radio stations. One station may also interview me, which I thought was pretty cool when I first heard this from them. My songs are mostly easy-listening rock -- you know, the today's rock that people listen to when they don't like heavy metal, rap, or loud guitars. I wrote a song called "Without You" and it's quite popular among older adults. In fact, I have a demo of the song available at http://damiangrove.iuma.com/. It's incomplete, but it has the basic mood in there. My dad practically fell in love with the song and my mom had a hard time believing that I even wrote the song and all the parts to it myself. TSS: So will you be doing any Sonic themed songs in the future? Sorry, I had to ask! ^_^ Also, will you be releasing your own CD in the near future? Saxman: I thought about doing some Sonic-themed songs because that's what attracts most of the listeners in this community. Then again, I simply like the 80's music better than all the video game music! I would much rather cover songs from artists like Huey Lewis & The News, Billy Ocean, Van Halen and Ronnie Milsap, than I ever would covering video game songs. Although I must admit I like a lot of the songs on the Sonic CD US soundtrack. As far as releasing my own CD, I have actually made a CD containing a bunch of cover-version songs I did, as well as two songs I wrote. It contained 9 tracks, and was quite popular with the people that I have passed it along to. Many people have asked me to make them copies of it because they loved it so much. The songs that really grabbed the most attention were "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "If This Is It". A CD containing nothing but original material probably won't be available for a few more years. TSS: I've also heard you're creating (or created) a newsletter at SHaC called the "SHaCY-Zine"? What's this about, is it about your site or kind of an online magazine? Saxman: SHaCY-Zine is a newsletter I created a little over a week ago. I've sent two issues out now. It contains information about news and events in the general Sonic secrets and hacking scene. It's a way to keep people up to date each week with what's going on basically. SHaCY-Zine went from a little less than 10 subscribers, to over 40 within the time that it's been issued. From the comments I have received on it, people seem to really be satisfied with the content it delivers. TSS: Do other people help work on it with you and how does one subscribe to this newsletter? Saxman: I'm the only one working on SHaCY-Zine. I figured it would be easier if it was under my full control. Only I know what kind of audience I want SHaC to appeal to, so rather than trying to make others understand what I want for SHaC, I decided to do it all myself. As far as subscribing, it's very easy. All one would have to do is e-mail me at '[email removed]', contact my AIM SN ([removed]), or contact me using my ICQ UIN ([removed]) and send me the e-mail address they want me to send SHaCY-Zine to. TSS: Tell us about your first issue, run us through what the articles were about and what its layout is like. Saxman: Well, at the moment, SHaCY-Zine is very simple and basic! This is because I don't want to make it stressful on myself to get an issue done for each week. I am thinking of ways to improve it's look and appeal. The topics discussed were the recent discoveries that were made by expert ROM hackers Esrael and Nemesis. It also mentioned the contest that Sonic Stadium was holding, as well as the new SHaC message boards. TSS: That'd be the Sonic Site Awards, for those who don't know ^^ Tell us about your brand new SHaC message boards - are these new to the site as a forum, or did you have a forum on SHaC before? Saxman: The new SHaC message board is called "The Freedom SHaCk". I named it that because most boards I've been to don't offer much freedom. Sonic-CulT offers a lot of freedom, but I always felt that the people were out of control at the Sonic-CulT forums. Me and Pachuka both decided to get rid of my forums that were part of his board, and get me a board of my own. With the help of Pachuka and Digital Xeron, I was able to get my board up. It doesn't have a skin to replace the default or anything. It's pretty basic looking right now, but it's slowly picking up I believe. I am just hoping that it does better than my many failed attempts to have a successful board in the past! The new forums have a much more simple URL this time -- http://www.shacnet.com/forums/. It makes it easier for those people who can't remember long URLs! TSS: What other projects do you have lined up for SHaC, anything big in the coming days? Saxman: For SHaC itself, there aren't really any new projects that I have planned at the moment. As far as anything else, I'm trying to finish a software program called "Sonic QX". It's a music editor and sequencer for Sonic ROMs on the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive. I have no clue when it'll be done, but I'm hoping I can get it out as soon as I can get it finished with it. TSS: I wish you luck on SHaC and your several other great projects Saxman, thanks for a great informative interview! ^_~ Saxman: Well thank you SH!
  11. Is there a song by Crush 40, Cash Caah, Kellin Quinn, etc., that isn't for a Sonic game? I like Kellin Quinn's/Sleeping with Sirens' "Don't let the party die", it sounds like what would've happened if Shadow fought a titan in Sonic Frontiers.
  12. Crush 40 singer Johnny Gioeli has confirmed to the Sonic Stadium that the theme song to Sonic Adventure 2, Live & Learn, will feature in some capacity in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. Gioeli said that Paramount Pictures had "made a deal" for the "usage" of Live and Learn in the silver-screen sequel, but "to what extent of 'usage'... trailer, movie, marketing. I don't know. That's up to them." Rumours had circulated online as to whether or not the iconic theme, closely associated with Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic's 10th Anniversary, would make it into the movie after Paramount posted a teaser on Friday that featured a hint of the song in the background. Gioeli certainly had fun on his social media channels with the message, "Hmmm… that song sounds familiar doesn’t it?" In recent days the singer also spoke to other Sonic channels on social media to confirm what he has told the Sonic Stadium. "All I know is the movie is going to be mind blowing," the musician told the Sonic Stadium. "And I’m so grateful to be a part of the journey regardless of how much of the song they use- a remix- a whatever. The Sonic fans / Crush40 fans are a massive part of my life. I want this for THEM not for me." Beyond the teaser trailer inclusion, Paramount has not yet commented or confirmed the use of Live and Learn in the movie, and in what form. Be it the original song, a remix, or an orchestrated piece by movie composer Tom Holkenborg, it's inclusion is certain to be an exciting prospect for long-time fans, particularly those who have been campaigning for the theme to feature since the release of Sonic 2. Sonic News Tips Credit: KingSonicFan134 Original Post Content: With the hint of Live and Learn playing in the background of the recent logo revealed on the second of February, Gioeli's statement does carry some credibility. Will it be blaring in the background in the final act of the film, taking us all back to our childhood with our little Dreamcasts (or GameCubes)? Or will it just be a little jingle in the background only 2 out of 99 people will notice? View full story

  14. Once again, as with the previous two films, Junkie XL will return to compose the OST for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Whether you like him or not, this was inevitable and continues the consistency found within the movie-verse. In other words, don't expect game music.
  15. Video game composer Tommy Tallarico's contributions to the Sonic and the Black Knight soundtrack have been put under the microscope this week, as allegations surface that claim works credited to the Video Games Live frontman were originally composed by others within his studio. A small group of netizens credited for researching and documenting the work of one Todd Dennis, a composer at Tommy Tallarico Studios, helped bring a demo tape of Dennis' to light that featured music from a 1998 PC game 'Adrenix' - which bears a striking resemblance to Sonic and the Knight's "The Cauldron", a track solely credited to Tallarico in 2009. The new discovery was published by Twitter account 'Sonic Music Facts', which itself has chronicled similar familiarities in other tracks from the game that have also been attributed to Tallarico. After posting comparisons last April regarding 'Molten Mine' and 'Great Megalith' with 1996's Black Dawn (a game whose music credits only mention Todd Dennis), the social media account shared music from 'Adrenix', adding, "This song appeared in one of Todd Dennis' demo reels, confirming that he's responsible for the song. This means that Tommy Tallarico didn't compose ['The Cauldron'] either." Tallarico's name is listed as the sole music credit for three songs on the Sonic and the Black Knight soundtrack (with Jun Senoue and the SEGA Sound Team working with the musician on two of these for the arrangement). With the origins of 'The Cauldron' allegedly unveiled, Sonic Music Facts concludes, "with this, we can finally confirm Tommy Tallarico did not compose any of the songs he is credited for on Sonic and the Black Knight." The Sonic claims follow the publication of a YouTube video by HBomberguy in 2022 that similarly dissected Tallarico's career in meticulous detail. The musician has not responded to the video, and has generally not been seen in the public space since the failure of his pet project, the Intellivision Amico console.

  17. Hi, I've been looking for files of the unlockable music you can listen to in SatSR. I want to complete my Sonic music collection (and also upload them to the internet archive for other people), but I'm having some trouble finding them. I've tried looking at Zophar's SatSR game rip, but the audio files don't have names I can easily identify them with. (Side note: I'm going to compare SatSR's OST to the game rip and see if I can find out which songs I'm missing [and their names].) I have the 'Worth a Chance - Acoustic Guitar' version and 'Worth a Chance - Piano', but I'm certain there are more goodies. I'm looking for files with names (like the two examples I just listed). Would be neat if someone could find files of the other special book unlockable content in SatSR, such as the cutscene files or the concept art. By the way, I'm also looking for the special "interactive archie comic" that came with the target edition of SatSR. Someone uploaded a full rip to Sonic Retro in 2015, but their file link is down, and because of how long it takes to verify an account there asking them if they still have the rip would be difficult. Does anyone else have a rip of it? Also: I have a zip of the cool little "Digital Treasure box" that the OST release came with. Just ask me if you want it ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: Is there a section on the Sonic Stadium that contains all the topics related to the games' OSTs? I'm certain there was a section for that, but I can't find it.

  19. When I hear a piece of Sonic music, it just feels different and distinct than any other rock/pop music. How is that so? I've always asked this question to myself ever since the first time I ever heard a piece of Sonic music. I've always guessed it was the tempo but that's CLEARLY not right. So what does make Sonic music feel...Sonic-y? FYI:this low quality picture is really big (I think that this was obvious)

    Favourite Crush 40 song?

    I really like their well known songs like All Hail Shadow! and Sonic Heros. Idk if there's already a discussion of this topic. I'm new here
  21. If your work day needs a little bit of perking up today, then SEGA and Tomoya Ohtani have just the tonic for you. A new Sonic Frontiers 'Cyber Space DJ Mix' has dropped on the official Sonic YouTube channel, offering a brief selection of energetic tracks from the recently-released Final Horizon DLC that are all, as the kids would say, 'bangers'. Of course, if you've already played through Final Horizon and seen all that this bizarrely-frustrating expansion has to offer, you'll be more than familiar with the music that features throughout this video. But it's just very nice to have a curated set mixed together in a bitesize form, so you can listen along while you work or... something. The remixed tracks that feature include; Arrow of Time (remixed by Kanon Oguni) / Rumble Rave (Kenji Mizuno) / Wishes in the Wind (Tomoya Ohtani) / Dropaholic (Tomoya Ohtani) / Hype Street (Rintaro Soma). All killer songs that will surely help you get through your day! Original Post Content: View full story
