Fun Fact:
One of my favorite J-pop bands, Dreams Come True, has one of the composers from Sonic 1. The band did a vocal version of the Sonic 2 ending theme in English and Japanese
Involvement in the Sonic the Hedgehog series
Quote:
Nakamura was picked by Sega to compose the music for the original Sonic the Hedgehog early in 1990. Later that year on 7 November, the game was revealed for the first time by being painted on the side of Dream Come True's tour bus. He was also in the middle of recording the band's fourth album, Million Kisses during Sonic the Hedgehog, and their fifth album, The Swinging Star during Sonic the Hedgehog 2.[2]
He was originally brought in to do the music again in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but financial disagreements led Sega to dropping him and being forced to use their in-house musicians for the project.[citation needed] In 2006, he contributed a remixed version of the ending theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, "Sweet Sweet Sweet", for the 2006 game; Sonic the Hedgehog, and also allowed Sega to remix some of his music for the series in Sonic Generations in 2011.
