Hideki Naganuma may be known nowadays for his goofy Twitter persona, but people forget he's a god-tier musician. And he hasn't lost his touch - the work he did for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was seriously great.
Legit I wish those other two songs he did for the game were on Spotify, or at the very least Bandcamp. Jack Da Funk is good but Good Enuf and Da People are both incredible.
@@SirLightsOut99 I misread the comment and thought the comment above was talking about the OSTs for Sonic Rush and Jet Set Radio, which were on spotify but were later removed, my bad
This game got one of the most openly corrupt and insane police forces in fiction. They pull out attack helicopters and Tanks to stop teenagers with spray cans on rollerblades. It's Lunacy.
@@axshnjxsn2571I suppose that’s true. They can get hit with tear gas, falls from like 25 feet high, bombs. missile explosions, and get up and get back to grinding up railings vertically without issue. The GGs are crazy tough
If you love the Jet Set Radio soundtrack, you will love Future and Bomb rush Cyberfunk!!! Future is literally an evolved and more chill version of the Jet soundtrack in my opinion!
Some of the samples used by Naganuma come from very obscure sources. The main female vocal sample of 'Let Mom Sleep' is from an episode of 'Hancock's Half Hour', a black & white Britsh sitcom from the 1950s!
Hancock's Half Hour is not obscure within the UK, most people above a certain age know what it is. It was a radio drama before it was a TV show, and I'm pretty sure that's what the sample is from. But yeah a lot of the other samples come from pretty odd sources
(10:40) If you're wondering, Naganuma got the samples from public domain sample CDs that were especially common amoung Japanese composers in the 90s. The soundtrack to Ollie King (which you should definitely check out it's stellar) implements rapping lyrics also from sample CDs, as Hideki Naganuma also made that OST.
To clarify: samples on paid CDs are usually royalty-free, not public domain. Public domain content is entirely free for everyone to use and share without restrictions, but royalty-free libraries typically allow you to use the samples in your projects while restricting redistribution of the raw sounds. This is a common misunderstanding.
@@realptkyle This is supported by the *HUGE* issue older japanese games faced with extremely blatant copyright infringement. A lot of those CDs were explicitly NOT for commercial use, but they did it anyways. A ton of smaller studios used samples were not legally allowed to. Plenty probably going completely under the radar
If you want more of this type of sound look into Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Lethal League Blaze, Butterflies: Episodes 1-3, Ollie King, Cerebrawl, and Sonic Rush. Also most music by 2 Mello including Memories Of Tokyo-To, Sounds Of Tokyo-To Future, Trunk Fiction, this year I lose my mind. Also also the music of Cxldr3
It’s nice that you’re reacting to not just Sonic the Hedgehog but also other Sega OSTs as well. You should definitely do games like Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Outrun, Yakuza, Panzer Dragoon, & Skies of Arcadia. You should definitely react to Virtua Fighter because they just announced that there’s going to be a new Virtua Fighter game finally after nearly 2 decades of the franchise being on hiatus (re-releases of Virtua Fighter 5 aside) this new entry is from the studio behind the Yakuza franchise. So yeah. Can’t wait for that.
Jet Set Radio Is the embodiment of Youth Rebellion and the OST is a perfect example of this Topic with so many diverse and unique songs in the ost that also screams early 2000s in the best way
Best holiday gift ever, haha. Had a blast playing JSR and JSRF a couple years back and their OSTs live rent-free in my head to this day. I highly recommend Ridge Racer Type 4's OST too, it lowkey got me into racing games.
The Ridge Racer series music is so slept on. One of my favorite series. Even Ridge Racer 64 which was not developed by Bandai Namco or composed by any of their amazing composers, is fantastic and has a couple of my all time favorite RR tunes.
Also, If you like late 90s soundtracks, you should definitely give the Ridge Racer R4 OST a try some day, specially Urban Fragments, Move Me and Naked Glow! Really cool ^^
Happy New Year BattleApple, but yeah Hideki Naganuma's work is amazing, from *Jet Set* to *Sonic* to *Lethal League Blaze* to *Bomb Rush Cyberfunk* to *Hover* and several other titles out there. "The Concept of Love," "Let Mom sleep (no sleep remix)," "ain't nuthin' like a funky beat," "Pumpin' Jumpin'," and "Get enuf" are a few of my favorites by him. 💚
I was waiting for this video, this is by far my favorite IP, and by far my favorite artist. Granted, there's plenty of artists on Jet Set's OST, and they're all wonderful. They set the ambiance so well, but I doubt anyone could deny the DNA is all Hideki. The spirital successor you're looking for that came out recently is Bombrush Cyberfunk. (Hideki also solidified the DNA for that OST imo and he's only done two of the tracks.) To give context to the OST, these gangs are literally kids just painting and dancing in the streets of Shibuya while cranking an underground radio station. (Jet Set Radio) Also, big mad at myself I never contextualized that was a person...literally humming the bass. *Headdesk* Totally encourage you to check out Future's OST as well. As a mixer he absolutely remixes some of his own songs in this into something familiar yet unrecognizable. It's almost a self reboot and the OST reflects that. As a final aside, it's refreshing you initially react to some of these the way others would to fine dining. Lmao The dopamine looked like it was flying at the beginning of Humming.
Would love to see you check out some Tekken music! It can be hard to know where to start because every game has about 500 songs, but here are some of my personal favorites: Celebration on the Seine Tekken 8 Silently Boisterous Tekken 8 Hangar Rules Tekken 8 Moonsiders 1st Tekken 7 Equator Line 1st Tekken 7 Solitude Tekken 7 Plucking Tulips Tekken tag 2 Your Sunset Tekken tag 2 battle Cry Tekken tag 2 And some more memey ones: Hidden Retreat Tekken 6 High school love Tekken tag 2
Oh god what a coincidence. Hideki naganuma is my favorite music artist and i was just listening to a megamix of his songs. I love how much he uses African American samples in his music
Someone who reads the very basic summary of what the are reacting to before the video ? HOLY SHIT YESSS! I wish that that was standard before reacting. I am so tired of the 'please tell me in the comments ' and it is the first thing you learn in the first 5 minutes of the game/series or an basic description on the first page of a wiki.
So here are some interesting info The guitar riff in "THAT ENOUGH" was also in Stardust Speedway present that you reacted to it And the woman that says "the music just turns me on" was in wacky workbench bad future that you reacted to too!! But it heavily distorted so I can see why you didn't recognize it And lastly, the opera one has major Final Fever from sonic cd "They're both songs for final boss with opera and funky feeling" I'm pretty sure jet set radio got some inspiration from cd
So happy you get to experience the Jet set radio / Bombrush Cyberfunk soundtracks, they are really something special. Was a bit surprised that Funky Radio - the main theme of the game - wasn't included in the soundtrack you listened to though. Probably some rights issue on Sega's part seeing as they had a huge amount of licensed tracks in the game. Subscribed though, gonna have to follow this journey and see you experience how crazy the soundtracks get!
Jet Set Radio Future has just as good music as the prequel, so I can't wait for you to react to it! Also Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, the spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio made for the sole purpose of giving JSR fans something new to enjoy. The music has a more modern take, but it's just as funky and amazing! I'm looking forward to this reaction as well :D
I remember popping this game in my Dreamcast back in the day and instantly falling in love with the whole game. The look, the gameplay the music, this was PEAK Sega, there was nothing like it at the time and the soundtrack was absolutely hit after hit! Funky Radio is my personal favorite and thanks again for the reactions! Keep em coming!
Shout out to you, good sir! You were already valid in my book, but the acknowledgement of Jet Set Radio vaults you further up there. Respect to you and your legendary family! Salute!
Although they have vastly different styles, I think Melty Blood Actress Again has some pretty cool tracks that you might like! Rhythmic Bustle and Strange Dreamer are my main picks, although most of its OST is pretty great. Raito is the composer, and he does songs for other games too. I'd recommend listening to it and also some of the songs from Under Night In-Birth, at least the most popular ones and both of the character select screens.
Never really heard this soundtrack too in-depth before, only samples here and there, but there are so many bangers in it. "Let Mom Sleep" and "Sneakman" are highlights.
Toronto is an alias for Sega composer Tomonori Sawada. He's probably best known for his work on the Sonic Riders series. He's also credited as one of the composers on the 8 bit version of Sonic 2, and on Sonic 3.
Highly recommend you listen to the voice of sega's old school arcade games. Takanobu Mitsuyoshi. Specifically his work for Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2 power edition, and my favorite Burning Rangers
The one problem with the TH-cam upload of the soundtrack is it’s missing one of the premiere tracks “Funky Radio”, despite it being on the official CD. I’m not sure why. It seems the Spotify list is also omitting a lot of tracks, that were indeed made for the game, not just licensed out for it.
I beg of you to do Jet Set Radio Future. Concept of Love, Oldies But Happies, Funky Dealer, Teknopathetic, Fly Like A Butterfly, the Humming the Bassline and Sneakman remixes, Like It Like This Like That.... Every song in the game is a bop.
Original JSR for DC had a couple of songs that were exclusive to each region. A second japanese release called De La Jet Set Radio has all tracks from all regions. During gameplay, there are sets of songs for each mission that change with DJ style transitions. It's a completely different experience to listen to all tracks (licenced ones included), and how the audio was handled in game. Unfortunately the HD release has been delisted, and even that hadn't all licenced tracks back
To me jet set radio ost was like a beta because “future” has some of the same songs but they sound completed/more refined, fleshed out and absolutely divine. Great reactions as always kid!!
Both this and Future's OSTs are great. Even the licensed songs they picked fit in with the game. Miller ball breakers is probably my favorite of those. For a recommendation tho, I think the Ape Escape has a nice vibe. The series has a lot of drum and bass, jungle and garage music. The fist game is probably the most dynamic by mixing a futuristic vibe with going through time so you get this synth that tries to give you ancient feeling. You have to sneak around an catch monkeys so its just as mysterious as it is fast paced. You can find a nice dj mix by just looking its ost up in youtube. But the most interesting about the original Ape Escape, is that in the game if you crawl around the music loses some instruments and if you curl up it lose even more.
Naganuma really have a style of its own, I remember he tried to make music for Splatoon, but they choose someone else to compose for. Probably the funny thing about him was his Twitter I believe? Where he just posted weird stuff about undestand the meaning of POG or based and so on. Pretty sure that where he got his Funky Uncle nickname lol. I guess is the first time I comment in your channel so I'll leave two recommendations of my favs games OST out there, one being Xenogears by Yasunori Mitsuda and the other YU-NO by Ryu Umemoto (RIP)
Just found your channel. Absolutely love everything Hideki does. Definitely check out his discography. My favorite track from him is Oldies but Happies.
I honestly think that you would really enjoy a lot of Lapfox Trax/Halley Labs music, specifically some stuff from NegaRen, Bandetto, Mayhem, and FIAB. Lots of wacky crazy electronic music with tons of random samples
I LOVE the Jet Set Radio soundtracks, and JSR Future is actually one of my favorite games of all time. THAT'S ENOUGH has a feel-good, laid-back vibe that's on par with a game of hoops in the park with the boys... which is weird, because I've never experienced that before, lol. I could definitely see this playing in such a scenario.
OMG I haven’t thought about this OST in years! I used to listen to this, Sonic Rush, Katamari and DDR songs over and over in high school. Such a vibe dude
Yesssss! If you really enjoyed this ost, I think you'd enjoy Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Lethal League Blaze's osts too. Hideki Naganuma contributed a few tracks to each one!
I recommend you listen to the Melty Blood: Actress Again - Current Code OST (specifically the remastering versions that can be found on the main composer Raito's channel). I'ts my personal favoirte video games ost as it has a lot of variety in terms of mood and genres as well as that good old, funky vibe in a good amount of them.
My english is not so great, sorry The last track kinda reminds me of My Dear Fallen Angel, from The King of Fighters 99 (KoF 99). You should listen to the arranged tracks from this game, is not on Spotify but its on TH-cam. Just write Kof 99 Arrange and you probably will find. That's it, love your channel:)
@@battleapple It's a modest contribution, but your reactions are so genuine, it warms my heart as I struggle to find people around me who like that kind of music :)
A lot of the samples, especially the vocal ones come from sample CDs made specifically for DJs. A lot of 90s eletronic music used samples from these CDs, for example, Daft Punk in their first album
day 2 of recommending the danganronpa series soundtrack! (the last comment was on a less recent video and it wasnt the focus anyway) it's full of bangers and has a mix of genres including edm and 👀 jazz 👀 however there is a LOT of music but thankfully someone made a "best of" compilation! ....which is still 4 hours long so i recommend going into the description and listening to at least one song from each section ^^; if you do plan on doing a danganronpa video eventually i recommend saving all all apologies for the spooky music series! anyway i've been loving your videos lately, found you from sonic cd and now i put them on whenever i eat :D
(replying to this in case i decide to make a "short" must-listen list) edit: alright, here we go! might've gone just a bit overboard... note: in the compilation part i left out the investigation themes because the uploader used the versions that play in the endgame which are much more rock than their original jazzy counterparts. at least one of them will be in the second half of the list. _in the best of compilation (sorted by sections):_ *introduction* DANGANRONPA - SDR2 *beautiful themes* beautiful ruin - SDR2 cool morning - V3 *monokuma themes* ms. monomi's practice lesson - SDR2 good bearning! - V3 (i actually feel like this one is pretty reminiscent of the kind of music you tend to react to!) *despair themes* (i think most of these that I didn't put here would be more suited for the spooky music series) a dead end to the ocean's aroma - SDR2 *intense themes* let's k🕴ll each other - V3 justice for our prime suspect! - SDR2 *trial themes* BRAIN DRIVER - V3 climax reasoning - V3 discussion - HOPE VS DESPAIR - _not in the compilation (in order of importance):_ ikoroshia - SDR2 (aforementioned investigation theme! this one's super iconic) despair searching- DRV3 (another jazzy investigation song) climax reasoning - DR1 SUPER M.T.B - DR1
I love Hideki and all of his music that has gone on to essentially form its own genre. if you like this ost check out Jet Set Radio Future, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and 2mello's album Sounds of Tokyo-to Future 2mello is also an amazing artist who made albums based off of Hideki Naganuma's work.
Hideki Naganuma may be known nowadays for his goofy Twitter persona, but people forget he's a god-tier musician. And he hasn't lost his touch - the work he did for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was seriously great.

@@lameduck7569 Wrapped in Black
Funky Dealer and Concept of Love FTW!
Favorite game I still listen to the OST and I loved how the characters all have a idle dance.
Some of the samples used by Naganuma come from very obscure sources. The main female vocal sample of 'Let Mom Sleep' is from an episode of 'Hancock's Half Hour', a black & white Britsh sitcom from the 1950s!
Love that so much honestly!!
Too Funky by George Michael is where I first heard it.
He also worked on Sonic Rush and sampled a Malcolm X speech
Hancock's Half Hour is not obscure within the UK, most people above a certain age know what it is. It was a radio drama before it was a TV show, and I'm pretty sure that's what the sample is from. But yeah a lot of the other samples come from pretty odd sources

You 100% NEED to do Jet Set Radio Future and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Given how much you enjoyed this you'll LOVE those songs. Great vid as usual!
If you want more of this type of sound look into Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Lethal League Blaze, Butterflies: Episodes 1-3, Ollie King, Cerebrawl, and Sonic Rush. Also most music by 2 Mello including Memories Of Tokyo-To, Sounds Of Tokyo-To Future, Trunk Fiction, this year I lose my mind. Also also the music of Cxldr3
I would add any Team Reptile soundtrack in general. Lethal League has some 🔥songs as well!
It’s nice that you’re reacting to not just Sonic the Hedgehog but also other Sega OSTs as well.

THIS!
YES
Unrelated but jpegmafia sampled move me in Bald
The fact that Miller Ball Breakers isn't in this video breaks my heart, please do a bonus video reacting to that song!
None of the licensed tracks are on here, but Funky Radio missing is the biggest shame 💔
Deavid Soul honestly needs his own video. So much amazing music.
Facts.
Yeah I was waiting for it, it is by far my favorite song.
now you see why i stay in the character select for so long. humming the bassline is just constantly in my head lol. glad you jumped into jet set !!
Happy New Year BattleApple, but yeah Hideki Naganuma's work is amazing, from *Jet Set* to *Sonic* to *Lethal League Blaze* to *Bomb Rush Cyberfunk* to *Hover* and several other titles out there. "The Concept of Love," "Let Mom sleep (no sleep remix)," "ain't nuthin' like a funky beat," "Pumpin' Jumpin'," and "Get enuf" are a few of my favorites by him. 💚

Totally encourage you to check out Future's OST as well. As a mixer he absolutely remixes some of his own songs in this into something familiar yet unrecognizable. It's almost a self reboot and the OST reflects that.
As a final aside, it's refreshing you initially react to some of these the way others would to fine dining. Lmao The dopamine looked like it was flying at the beginning of Humming.
Ridge Racer Type 4 and Tekken 3 both have amazing soundtracks, I highly recommend you check them out sometime
Would love to see you check out some Tekken music! It can be hard to know where to start because every game has about 500 songs, but here are some of my personal favorites:
Celebration on the Seine Tekken 8
Silently Boisterous Tekken 8
Hangar Rules Tekken 8
Moonsiders 1st Tekken 7
Equator Line 1st Tekken 7
Solitude Tekken 7
Plucking Tulips Tekken tag 2

Hidden Retreat Tekken 6

PEAK SOUNDTRACK🔥
Great video! I would like to suggest Gitaroo Man as a game soundtrack for you to enjoy. It's a rhythm game from the PS2.
You Did it !!! You have to listen to the other one 😫 this is JSR “Jetset Radio” the one you need to hear is JSRF “JetSet Radio Future” ! Trust me 😊
So happy you get to experience the Jet set radio / Bombrush Cyberfunk soundtracks, they are really something special. Was a bit surprised that Funky Radio - the main theme of the game - wasn't included in the soundtrack you listened to though.

WOULD YOU STOP PLAYING WITH THAT RADIO OF YOURS, IM TRYING TO GET TO SLEEP. made me pump this even louder.
You should do JSRF next, Naganuma has alot of great ones there as well and some of the remixes of the music from JSR are crazy good

Edit: never heard of Electric Toothbrush so this was nice but yeah I see the similarities to meteor herd
Rock It On has a fantastic remix on JSRF.
YES! I listen to this ost all the time while longboarding. It broadened my taste in music growing up
one of the most unique and incredible video game osts, glad you listened to it!
Naganuma really have a style of its own, I remember he tried to make music for Splatoon, but they choose someone else to compose for. Probably the funny thing about him was his Twitter I believe?

Well now you done it o gotta back and replay this gem of a game great memories playing it 😊
Jet Set Radio's soundtrack is some all time great stuff, man.
FUNKY RHYTHM COMIN' AT YA!
Jet set music just makes me want to melt away from how enticing it all is.
It's so refreshing watching you vibe as the songs play :)
so exciting to have this as a treat to watch !
thanks for taking the time to listen!
Jet Set Radio... my favorite Dreamcast game EVER!!! I have memories, good memories playing this game. This is the reason why I watched this video...

It would be awesome if you will listen the Streets of Rage Soundtracks, i think they are among the best of 16 bit era
I LOVE the Jet Set Radio soundtracks, and JSR Future is actually one of my favorite games of all time.
THAT'S ENOUGH has a feel-good, laid-back vibe that's on par with a game of hoops in the park with the boys... which is weird, because I've never experienced that before, lol. I could definitely see this playing in such a scenario.
I’ve been waiting for this one!
I play this soundtrack for my 5 year old daughter. She LOVES it, puts her in a great mood.
That’s so sweet!!
Yo! Love the reaction, Would love to see you check out the jet set radio future soundtrack!
Humming the Baseline is my morning wake up jam.
OMG I haven’t thought about this OST in years! I used to listen to this, Sonic Rush, Katamari and DDR songs over and over in high school.
Such a vibe dude
Goes into storage room, tosses 5 bricked Dreamcasts out of the way, put on neon inlines, dislocate left knee, realize I'm 45, still happy
Classic OST! Glad you checked it out
Not right when i gotta go to work lol. But yeah you'll enjoy, I'll be back to enjoy your reactions to the funky fresh goodness
Leta gooo, i was hoping would take a listen to this soundtrack soon. Its such a masterpiece
Yesssss! If you really enjoyed this ost, I think you'd enjoy Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Lethal League Blaze's osts too. Hideki Naganuma contributed a few tracks to each one!
The goat sound track I spent many hrs of my life on this game as a kid
I recommend you listen to the Melty Blood: Actress Again - Current Code OST (specifically the remastering versions that can be found on the main composer Raito's channel). I'ts my personal favoirte video games ost as it has a lot of variety in terms of mood and genres as well as that good old, funky vibe in a good amount of them.
My english is not so great, sorry
The last track kinda reminds me of My Dear Fallen Angel, from The King of Fighters 99 (KoF 99).
You should listen to the arranged tracks from this game, is not on Spotify but its on TH-cam. Just write Kof 99 Arrange and you probably will find. That's it, love your channel:)
30:42 BANGER!
I hope you'll do Jet Set Radio Future after that one
Thank you!!! I hope to do it soon 😊
@@battleapple It's a modest contribution, but your reactions are so genuine, it warms my heart as I struggle to find people around me who like that kind of music :)
A lot of the samples, especially the vocal ones come from sample CDs made specifically for DJs. A lot of 90s eletronic music used samples from these CDs, for example, Daft Punk in their first album
day 2 of recommending the danganronpa series soundtrack! (the last comment was on a less recent video and it wasnt the focus anyway)
it's full of bangers and has a mix of genres including edm and 👀 jazz 👀 however there is a LOT of music but thankfully someone made a "best of" compilation! ....which is still 4 hours long so i recommend going into the description and listening to at least one song from each section ^^; if you do plan on doing a danganronpa video eventually i recommend saving all all apologies for the spooky music series!
anyway i've been loving your videos lately, found you from sonic cd and now i put them on whenever i eat :D
(replying to this in case i decide to make a "short" must-listen list)
edit: alright, here we go! might've gone just a bit overboard...
note: in the compilation part i left out the investigation themes because the uploader used the versions that play in the endgame which are much more rock than their original jazzy counterparts. at least one of them will be in the second half of the list.
_in the best of compilation (sorted by sections):_
*introduction*
DANGANRONPA - SDR2
*beautiful themes*
beautiful ruin - SDR2
cool morning - V3
*monokuma themes*
ms. monomi's practice lesson - SDR2
good bearning! - V3 (i actually feel like this one is pretty reminiscent of the kind of music you tend to react to!)
*despair themes* (i think most of these that I didn't put here would be more suited for the spooky music series)
a dead end to the ocean's aroma - SDR2
*intense themes*
let's k🕴ll each other - V3
justice for our prime suspect! - SDR2
*trial themes*
BRAIN DRIVER - V3
climax reasoning - V3
discussion - HOPE VS DESPAIR -
_not in the compilation (in order of importance):_
ikoroshia - SDR2 (aforementioned investigation theme! this one's super iconic)
despair searching- DRV3 (another jazzy investigation song)
climax reasoning - DR1
SUPER M.T.B - DR1
She’s done it! Plz do Jet set radio future next. Me likey the poom poom and I’ll Victory Beat are my personal favorites
Has one of the best character select screen songs ever
and then the gameplay hits!
You give me “guy reacts to the grinch for the first time” vibe
I recommend you listen to Ridge Racer Type 4 OST. An absolute classic.
I love Hideki and all of his music that has gone on to essentially form its own genre. if you like this ost check out Jet Set Radio Future, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and 2mello's album Sounds of Tokyo-to Future 2mello is also an amazing artist who made albums based off of Hideki Naganuma's work.
Jet Set Radio Future (Jet Grind Radio's sequel on the original Xbox) has a really awesome sound track too!
Grace and glory is one of my favs we gotta get a jet set radio future ost part 2!
The Scrappy from Jet Set Radio Future is also sick as hell, hoping the sequel gets a listen as well
Jet Grind Radio and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense are my 2 favorite Dreamcast soundtracks. ❤
Not sure if you're gonna do JSR Future as well but I absolutely love what they did to Sweet Soul Brother in Future. It's beautiful.
Fantastic! Hoping for a Tekken 3 OST reaction as well! Happy new year everyone
