Composed by Hideki Okugawa (????). INFINITE was the one who rapped the lyrics. Hideki is mostly known for his work in the Street Fighter 3 series (1997-1999). INFINITE is from Canada who has been under the radar in the rap game the last few years due to his acting career...
Composed by Hiroshi Okubo (????). Probably one of the tightest menu screen songs in almost any racing game I've played. He's also responsible for the Ridge Racer Type 4 theme song. The synth in this track is dope...
In my opinion, this is arguably the best game on Playstation 2 and the best in the series period. Well... up until MGS4 came out of course. Hideo Kojima is no joke. The song, "Snake Eater", was composed by Norihiko Hibino who (along with Harry Gregson-Williams) did the game's soundtrack...
Composed by Tetsukazu Nakanishi. Electric guitar performed by Takanori Goto, who also played a role in the spanish guitar theme for some of the songs in Ace Combat Zero...
Composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. He was a member of the S.S.T. Band up until their last tour in '93. Since then, he's worked with Yu Suzuki and the AM2 division of Sega writing several songs for games like Virtua Racing...
AC2 came out in the U.S. around summer '97. Namco didn't release an "official" soundtrack to it. What they did instead was have the same sound team that worked on the game (Tetsukazu, Hiroshi, and Kohta) do a sampler album, which was a live version of only some of the tracks in the game, which was released in December '97/January '98...
Composed by Ayako Saso and arranged by Shinji Hosoe. This was one of the original songs found in the arcade version. Ayako and Shinji collectively formed a group called SamplingMasters. They left Namco in '95 and began working with Capcom and Squaresoft. In 2004, they started working on Ridge Racer games again. Ayako's most well-known work is the music from "Rolling Thunder 2"...
Composed by Keiki Kobayashi. I just heard this song again recently, so I had put this up so everyone knows how nice this guy is. Damn, between him and Tetsukazu Nakanishi, no wonder Namco didn't bother puttin songs from anyone else in ACZero or AC6. Well, except a couple songs from others, but still...
Composed by Hiroshi Okubo. He did a few more songs in this game than I expected compared to ACZero. I won't say exactly where during the game that this song plays, but I'm sure most of you probably already know...
One of the songs Asuka Sakai composed on arguably the best Ridge Racer soundtrack in the series. It has also outsold all other "official" video game soundtracks in the industry to date...
Composed by Jinbae "ESTi" Park. He's a composer from South Korea who hasn't worked on many games, but was already popular among J-pop fans. He was one of the people that Hiroshi Okubo asked to submit a couple tracks for RR7...
