Well, after my... embarrassing Takenobu Mitsuyoshi praise-a-thon came to fruition and I sorta kinda bad-mouthed Nobuo Uematsu (which I take back more than anything I have ever said in my 14-year life, he's awesome) I had an idea. Why praise/discuss one Sega musician when you can praise/discuss all of them? Seriously! Sega has one hell of a music team! Not as good/important/influential as Uematsu, but really close. We're talking yoctometers.

WHY HASN'T SEGA HIRED YOU GUYS?! THIS IS AMAZING!

You know what? How about someone delete this forum and we just talk about how great ALL of Sega's musicians are?

I would like to say that I am sorry about what I said about Uematsu. He is definitely not a moron - I've listened to his work, and it's amazing. I was drunk on Sega hype and I'd like to say that I wish not to practice such appalling netiquette ever again. I believe you can rule a line through sentences in posts? Because I seriously regret saying that. Now that that's out of the way, let's get back to raving about Mitsuyoshi and never ever speak of that embarrassing post again.

Okay, I take that back. Uematsu is undoubtedly a very good composer. However, his work is about being epic and mystical. Mitsuyoshi (and Sega, for that matter) makes music that's optimistic, cheerful, and fun-kay!

Look, to be honest, Megalovania is all you need to hear from this game's OST and anything else is a bonus. The song is just... yes. Why is this not in Sonic Unleashed?! Or any Sonic game, for that matter.

Sega. Just - Sega. (THIS PART DELETED OUT OF SHEER WTF-NESS, SERIOUSLY. DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SAID...) And Daytona USA... just... holy crap! Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is just what this game needed. It's optimistic, catchy, and just plain awesome. I want to download the XBLA version just for the music. I'm not sure I can describe it any better. You guys continue the love for Mitsuyoshi-san.
