One of my favorite KOF tracks of all time! This song is amazing from start to finish. Back in the day I had a hard time believing that this was "video game music" just excellent. This song is a masterpiece.
i'm not born in the arcade ages, and so i heard this at 2013 or so. It was in my friend's playlist, and i enjoyed it so much. I asked from what show this came from, he said a game, and i was like 'damn, this is good shit'
When I was like "Man, I think there are few video game soundtracks that could beat Pirate Warrior 3's", and yet here's this vintage album! Beyond impressive!
I coulda seen that instead of Nails and Bauhaus at Red Rocks? (Peter and Danny of Bauhaus started fighting each other, and cut their set short...) Is Konoe still in the band?
@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962 I ain't a troll; you crazy funster. I was at Nails and Bauhaus. (Iori's band is fictitious. You don't see this?) Hey; yo...did Iori's band have a name??
Feel in love with this song over 20 years ago, and will never stop listening. This is still my favorite version of the song ever. So yeah. Also put some jazz listeners on this song and when I tell them it's from a video game over 20 years ago they're blown away.
I remember listing to this when I was younger. One of my relatives came in and was like "The hell kind of music this? Jay Leno?" Sucks for them they didn't know what they were missing out on.
Little fun fact: Back when this game released, a lot of the big reviewers didn't particular care for the KOF music that much. Never really gave music that much of a score. Even back then, I felt the reviewers really were out of touch when it came to this. KOF had stuff so good (especially on their red book audio Arranged versions) I literally played them in the car.
KOF 95, the game that what introduced one of the greatest fighting game characters in SNK history with the introduction of this amazing, jazzy song, Iori Yagami!💜 "Remember me when you see the moon!"🌙
reminds me of the jazz band I listened to live, they were so into it like the people here. "beatboxing" - 0:22 "don't you want me baby sprinkle?"(not live recording) - 0:38 "make some time for him please!" - 0:54 "OOOOOOOH EVERYBODEH, HWUAH!!!" - 1:10 -beautiful bit- "LET ME SEE U DANCE ON FLOOR!"(u can tell he's Japanese, English isn't his 1st language) - 1:41 "`SHIPTU-HEH!!" - 1:51 "make some time for him please!" - 2:00 "Hell naw"(yes someone says that during the flute solo) - 2:07 "And then leeeaan to the right..." - 2:15 "Not too much." - 2:24 "SHIPTU-HEH!!" - 2:32 and 3:27 and 3:43 "OVER HERE!" - 2:39 "move it up baby" - 3:34 "don't you want me baby sprinkle?"(not live recording) - 3:49 "make some time for him please!" - 4:04 -best bit- "And then leeeaan to the right..." - 4:55 "LET ME SEE U DANCE ON FLOOR!"
that's the voice of Hironobu "BROTHER-HIGE" Inagaki, he's also a composer (on this OST he did the Fatal Fury team theme and Saisyu's theme, also did Big Shot from Fatal Fury 3 and the ENTIRETY of Last Blade 1) and he's also the voice in the KOF 96-98 intros (and maybe the Real Bout Special announcer)
SNK’s arranged songs have always given me those moments where I wish I could hear that song again for the first time, but none more than this masterpiece 🌙
I think it fits they three perfectly. The flutes gives a traditional japanese vibe for Eiji, the Sax is just Iori's leitmotif at this point and the percurssion feels just like billy's alley
Love this track. I love all the KoF music and Neo-Geo music in general. I even put Neo-Geo music up there with the high standards of Yuzo Koshiro - believe me I'm an massive Koshiro fanboy :)
The art work for this and all following games is what truly inspired me to want to try my hand at drawing. I'm still learning but eh, It truly brings me joy to this day without being famous or rich. K.O.F 4 EVERRRR!!!!!
Every single Iori theme is an unique masterpiece by itself (Well, yeah, not "everyone" (Cool Jam 2, Immortal mirror of the sun, but almost anyone of them) P.D: Even the Miss X theme in SNK Heroines is godlike WO(Which is a remix from the Miss X original theme from SNK Gals Fighters)
Not gonna lie, ive never went back to listen the OG KOF music befor... I was expecting some basic music... I was blown way. This is pretty sick. Kinda takes you back to when composers took pride in their work.
The king of fighters 95 96 y el 97 eran Mys favoritos son los mejores juegos dé pelea aparte de mortal Kombat trilogy ese tiempo estaba esperando el the king of fighters maximo impacto Yo no sabía Yo escuché a Trevi Philips cuando estaba en la secundaria desde hace añales conozco a está chica y nos conocimos en las fiestas del señor San José
So groovy baby... Reminds me of old nights In $OUTHTOWN. That Geese howard owes me big time. I fought in the king of fighters tournament way back in 93'. the boga
KOF Destiny last episode brought me here lol, YAGAMI Finally appearing was brief but glorious..... now we gotta wait next season for cg EIJI, cg BILLY once more in his original outfit, making team with IORI.... and way more of IORI of course. XD
1995 was a great year.We moved from Megadrive and Snes to Playstation and Saturn,arcades were strong with games like this and Tekken,no mobile phones,no internet and much socialising with school friends at each others homes and played sports outside.Also buying videogame magazines to read the news. Good times I guarantee you.
1995 was a great year indeed. I played this game so much with my cousins!!! That was back when people actually socialized instead of staring at their phones 24/7.
It's funny how this is the Iori theme and features a great saxophone and even an amazing piano solo, but the bass, which is Yagami's instrument, is forgotten in the background.
The memories of playing this game and every other KOF game on the PS1/PS2 emulators on the school laptops back in 2016, this one is the most nostalgic to me because I used to whoop the shit out of everybody (except one guy) with this blasting through the speakers during lunch time 😂
Iori já está no KoF XV, e o Billy é um dlc confirmado. Só falta trazer o Eiji de volta também, colocar os trajes clássicos, e voilà! O Rival Team original.
Fun fact: The saxophonist who plays this track is the same saxophone player that plays most of the Cowboy bebop's musics
Could also be Iori when you're not fighting him
@@slimeburger7644 Iori plays bass guitar
Not all of them...but this is Shigeo Fuchino on this track. After that was mostly Osamu Koike.
You cant stop impressing us with infinite knoledge Mr Tzu
He also plays flute
I love how Iori is this really edgy character but then they give him this really relaxing jazz theme.
For such an edgy character, Iori got some fine taste in music.
Iori actually... ironically hates violence... :) But his blood boils whenever he hears the name of his eternal rival Kyo, to the point he'll beat everyone the hell crap out of them. Another cool fact he's a musician... still fascinates me.
I think it's his bloodline and orochi blood is the reason why he acts violently.
