I think the reason why this song took so long to come out is partially because of the behind the scenes drama regarding Kevin's departure from hyper potions
There are many reasons why Hyper Potions’s Instagram account might’ve been deleted. Still, It’s great that you talked about it so we could fully acknowledge it.
You genuinely helped to revive some of the greatest music we've heard from Hyper Potions. Thank you for being passionate enough to have made such a big impact. Omw to enjoy these beauties rn.
What's crazy about this is that you're actually a big part of the reason it got released, if you never asked hyper potions about the song it would have never released, meaning you technically put a spot in Sonic History.
Man am i glad Sega is based when it comes to this sort of things. Any other company would let this fade into obscurity, never giving permission for it to be publicly shared. For as much flaws as they have I'm glad the social media aspect is so open and close to the fanbase.
I can sorta relate to your experience in the video. Back in 2018, the TH-cam Channel GameHut (Jon Burton's TH-cam Channel) posted a video talking about how he's in possession of a Sonic 3D Blast music demo cassette tape but couldn't upload the music because of copyright concern. They wanted to reach out to someone at SEGA to get permission to release the demo tracks but didn't know who to turn to. Later that year at SXSW Gaming 2018, SEGA held a Sonic Panel with a live Q&A and I used the opportunity to bring this to the attention of Aaron Webber and Takashi Iizuka. This particular moment had gotten the attention of GameHut who then made a follow-up video on my question. I remember seeing Sonic fans on Twitter going nuts over the matter, some of which even got the attention of Mike Pollock online over this matter. This led to some kind of discussion between GameHut and Aaron Webber in Twitter, but as far as I know this did not lead to any sort of agreement. GameHut eventually released the tracks on his channel a year or two later. Your story reminded me of this moment of mine as a Sonic fan. To think I caused a small shake-up in the Sonic fandom for a time is something I still think about today.
Thank you and Hyper Potions so much for releasing this song! Your tweet led the snowball rolling you did the Sonic Community proud! Proud Lifelong Sonic fan here from Maryland, USA
God I love the Origins song, you're goated for basically bringing it to light, and thanks to Hyper Potions, Katie and the rest of the people involved for the song's release!
Very informative, great job on documenting all of this. Pretty funny how just... asking about something can lead to getting the stuff you wanted actually released. I didn't even know that song wasn't released in full officially, but I'm glad that it is now. Great video!
finally when someone mentions this i remember this because i was honestly hyped as fuck for sonic origins cause i really wanted to play sonic 3 on switch so i remember listening to the first trailer song on the school bus its honestly scary that its been 2 years since origins launched.
That is actually awesome to hear man! I never listened to the song properly, but after this I will definitely give it a good listen! You are definitely right, being vocal on the things you love will definitely help. I have been crying with the Sly Cooper community for years for something new to happen with Sly Cooper, and the first game recently got added to the PS2 classics catalog. Really nice story with how this song got released, thank you Oreo, you rock! 😁
This is an incredible story! I haven’t been in the gaming community for too long, but I’ve definitely seen that being vocal about what you love really can make a difference in terms of any media! From this song, to Sonic’s movie redesign back in 2019, using your voice really does matter :)
While not mentioned in the video, I do have reason to believe that one of the members of Hyper Potions being... well, outed, may have played a part in us not getting the full track for over a year. In any case, I was surprised to hear you played a part in finally getting the full thing released, so thanks!
I don't know if this was said, but the main menu theme for sonic origins isn't made by tee lopes, but by kenichi tokoi, tee only did the opening and cutscene music
I’m gonna guess the song before I watch the video… ahem. Hard Times from Sonic 3 during the Micheal Jackson collaboration! XD Edit: *FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!*
Hello Oreogod! Huge fan here. I actually might go on a trip to Singapore myself so can you recommend any places to go to or things to do? Specifically any Sonic related stuff.
Hey! Hmm definitely go to gardens by the bay, the indoor rock climbing, the merlion statue area walk, arcades and bird parks are pretty sick, and just the sight seeing on top of any building is nice too lol
ITS THE BEST DUDE I go there pretty often it’s just like so peaceful and everyone is super chill, love that place. Cementing personal history with that place now lol
@@NoNamex1412 yeah basically all of it. LOVE the chicken rice, roti prata, satay, YUPI GUMMIES, all the restaurants are FIRE and CHEAP like damn I love Singapore lol I can’t wait to go back soon
wow, i can’t believe that the guy who gave me the link to the sonic origins mini soundtrack is basically the reason for this songs release (yeah, i’m showing off and being a jerk)
@@oreogod1985 remember that one time where you made a tweet showing off the pre-order coaster and i asked for a link for the soundtrack and you linked it (thanks for that btw :)
If you love this song, and I do too, I suggest looking into a Japanese EDM artist called "Chroma". They've worked on a Sonic game before too actually, Mario & Sonic Tokyo Olympics Games 2020, although what they did for the OST isn't available. My main recommendations from them are these songs; th-cam.com/video/1Y3LERI4ySw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ojSGRb6a9X9tYfkv th-cam.com/video/q4ueG0Okn-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FiZ3tIGdU_RDRUhO th-cam.com/video/pIBcaa9wWao/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qBfM9zkKZDzbsUXU These songs are very similar to the Kawaii Bass-influenced J-Rock style of 'Origins'.
bro was actually just flexing his trip to singapore 💀
IM JUST THAT COOL FRRRR
That was like 30% of the reason I even made this video lol
@@oreogod1985 lmaooo, see you on the amv contest
as someone fron singapore, i was actually surprised
@@oreogod1985 Well then, welcome to Singapore, my dude! Hope you had a good time!
@@faristhefrenchfriezfinally, another fellow Singaporean
The hero we needed to have this masterpiece released...
The power of the alphabet on Twitter gave the song life😎
@@oreogod1985the song is on hyper potions channel
your profile pic is everyone running to listen to it
the fact this video came out on sonic birthday is poetic
It took a LOT of effort but it worked out perfectly 💪
Sonic Origins was definitely a collection.
Nah they're butchered the games
I think the reason why this song took so long to come out is partially because of the behind the scenes drama regarding Kevin's departure from hyper potions
"behind the scenes" is funny, he left because he's a pedophile
not syaing he dosent make good music btw, just that he's a bad dude
@@PUMPKINMANJACK…a very bad one
he’s a rapist.
@@PUMPKINMANJACKwhat did he do
@@Kooky95 Sexual abuse allegations
When the world needed him most, he returned.
Now we just need you to get the rush soundtrack back on spotify 💀
LMAOOO

My GOAT singlehandedly got this song released. You're a true legend 🔥🔥🔥
It’s so funny to me that “lost media” can be resolved by just…asking lmao but yeah this was super cool to have happen
It only takes one spark to start a fire.
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this man to upload. My goat is back.
You genuinely helped to revive some of the greatest music we've heard from Hyper Potions.
Thank you for being passionate enough to have made such a big impact.
Omw to enjoy these beauties rn.
I loved the theme in the launch trailer, I thought it was sad that it couldn’t be released for the longest time, but I’m happy it released eventually
What's crazy about this is that you're actually a big part of the reason it got released, if you never asked hyper potions about the song it would have never released, meaning you technically put a spot in Sonic History.
Put me in the history books bro😎
This just goes to show with enough support for something, anything is possible.
Man am i glad Sega is based when it comes to this sort of things. Any other company would let this fade into obscurity, never giving permission for it to be publicly shared. For as much flaws as they have I'm glad the social media aspect is so open and close to the fanbase.

The legend came back and allowed us to receive the best song ever!

Yeah lost media is such a strange thing that most times gets solved by just asking lol and thank you!
Good to see you back, one of the best Sonic TH-camrs.
This was such a dope video! I’m glad you being vocal about the song helped enable it to be released
finally when someone mentions this i remember this because i was honestly hyped as fuck for sonic origins cause i really wanted to play sonic 3 on switch so i remember listening to the first trailer song on the school bus its honestly scary that its been 2 years since origins launched.
Oh hey I remember this guy! man, can't believe it's been a whole year.
That is actually awesome to hear man!
I never listened to the song properly, but after this I will definitely give it a good listen!
You are definitely right, being vocal on the things you love will definitely help.
I have been crying with the Sly Cooper community for years for something new to happen with Sly Cooper, and the first game recently got added to the PS2 classics catalog.
Really nice story with how this song got released, thank you Oreo, you rock! 😁
Thank you for get the ball rolling for this masterpiece finally getting out there.
It’s been 48 years…
"THANK YOU KATIEEEE"
We all say in unison
I loved this song
Great video! I had no idea there was such a story behind that song
I NEEDED this....AND I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN THE SONG WAS POSTED.
This is an incredible story! I haven’t been in the gaming community for too long, but I’ve definitely seen that being vocal about what you love really can make a difference in terms of any media! From this song, to Sonic’s movie redesign back in 2019, using your voice really does matter :)
For sure! Speaking out definitely does some good! Really cool things too lol
Tbh I never relized the full version released but it sounds so cool!
you should be real proud dude, you did us all a solid with getting hyper potions and sega to release the full version of the song. big ups 🙏
0:14 "Poopy Butt"
Thank you for the lesson and for your achievements!
Yay he's back from Nightmare College
Momentarily yes lol
I love Hyper Potions so much! Ian’s one of my absolute favorite musicians. I hope one day Origins gets released on streaming services. :)
While not mentioned in the video, I do have reason to believe that one of the members of Hyper Potions being... well, outed, may have played a part in us not getting the full track for over a year. In any case, I was surprised to hear you played a part in finally getting the full thing released, so thanks!
THIS IS WILD!!! You'r a king!
You are an actual legend for this my guy
Awesome video!
I've been watching your videos since you used that other channel so I'm happy to see that you're back XD
And on sonic's birthday!
I was looking all over the Internet for the full song when the trailer came out.
thank you for your service 🙏🏾
This story has so much suspense.
0:20 ... One word: PEAK.
FINALLY!! I WANTED THIS MUSIC!! HYPER POTIONS FOR THE WIN!!!
Glad to see you're still alive 🎉
The Goat is back
It's a good day when Oreo God drops another video.
2:14 Correction: it was remixed by Kenichi Tokoi.
Coulda met up and talked up a storm about Sonic, my dude.
Aw welp.
NOOOO DARN LOL
cool video for sonics birthday
Oh shoot the last time I watched your channel was like back before frontiers was released
Cool video, but that was a sick goal you scored.
Really interesting video! I originally assumed that the song had gone dark because of that whole mess with Ian’s former co-artist.
That makes a lot of sense. I haven't kept up with the drama, but were the Allegations true?
@@CesarTorres61296 Haven’t been back to it, too depressing
@@CesarTorres61296Pretty sure yeah
Hyper Potions has never looked better though, Ian's still dropping absolute heat as a solo artist
thx oreogod, you're a real one bro.
That's so amazing man!
I still want the origins plus trailer theme to be released
He’s back… HE’S BACK!!!
HE'S ALIVE
baller video
baller video indeed
We are so back
13 minute video on 1 single trailer song
creative works are alive and well
Wholesome

Hero.
I'm still waiting for them to release the reveal trailer music for Sonic Superstars...
What a fucking hero, holy shit.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I don't know if this was said, but the main menu theme for sonic origins isn't made by tee lopes, but by kenichi tokoi, tee only did the opening and cutscene music
Song is FIRE 🗣📢🔥

Thank you.
Singapore moment.
He's baaaaaack
Thank you our lord and savior oreo god.
I’m gonna guess the song before I watch the video… ahem. Hard Times from Sonic 3 during the Micheal Jackson collaboration! XD

Banger video
Hyper Potions peaked at Time Trials (Plus,) fight me.
If I could pick one song to be my theme song for life, it would be Time Trials!
I had no idea, but THANK YOU. What is with this series and music secrets??

bruh im more concern about how the sonic frontiers prologue music wasnt available
7:31 hey i think i know that guy
I think this was just an ad for Singapore 😂😂😂
HELL YEAH
Meanwhile in Singapore..
bro really had to flex
If you love this song, and I do too, I suggest looking into a Japanese EDM artist called "Chroma". They've worked on a Sonic game before too actually, Mario & Sonic Tokyo Olympics Games 2020, although what they did for the OST isn't available. My main recommendations from them are these songs;

th-cam.com/video/pIBcaa9wWao/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qBfM9zkKZDzbsUXU
These songs are very similar to the Kawaii Bass-influenced J-Rock style of 'Origins'.
I took a quick listen to them and damn, they are GOOD
I didnt know about this
Yes he posted in like 3 months
2:13
I believe the menu theme for Sonic Origins was made by Kenichi Tokoi, not Tee Lopes.
Guess who's back
Back again
Good Job
On a similar topic, what happened to the song that was used on the Sonic Superstars reveal?
No clue lol
