![]() ![]() ![]() The subsequent appearance of Daytona USA's Arcade soundtrack only reaffirms the theme's classic status. It's goofy, powerful, soothing, charismatic, stupid, and oh so nostalgic all at the same time. It's quite a simple arrangement, but it captures the essence of Daytona and Mitsuyoshi's quirky style well. Soon enough, however, Mitsuyoshi's vocals show up and he bellows his classic 'daaaytoona' and 'du du duuuu du' lines. It begins with a soft but jazzy solo piano interpretation of the main theme. Those who have seen Mitsuyoshi perform at PLAY! A Video Game Symphony will find his performance similar here. The box set opens with a special piano arrangement of the series' main theme "Let's Go Away". While the source material is all good and the album concept is great, Wavemaster made several crucial mistakes when presenting the album, particularly with their treatment of later scores in the series. The series is definitely best remembered for its eccentric vocal themes by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, however, and it is these tracks that are source to a few bonus arrangements and other commemorations. The discs feature the four major scores to the series - Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2, Daytona USA Circuit Edition, and Daytona USA 2001 - each with their own style. This time they chose to squeeze the music for the franchise on to a more humble and affordable four discs. To celebrate 15 years of Daaaytooona, Sega decided to release a music box set for the series similar to how they did with OutRun and After Burner previously. ![]()
