PixelTunes Radio Podcast Show: Episode 15 - Composer Selection #1: Yuzo Koshiro
8Episode 15 of PixelTunes Radio is upon us!
The man’s name is synonymous with game soundtracks like Streets of Rage and ActRaiser, but did you know he was composing music and developing sound programs as far back as 1986? We take a look at some of the highlights of Yuzo Koshiro’s amazing career, spanning from his earliest tracks to the present day.
Also, Ryu Hayabusa has a new Koshiro-related product for you, and Sega makes a terrible attempt at Streets of Rage 4 in our spoof commercials!
As always, we’ll have fun content to accompany this podcast on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and we’d love to see you guys post some of your favorite Koshiro tracks and memories!
