As to the Sonic Unleashed music production, I was the first one to join the project as a sound producer and a main composer. Can you start by telling us a little about the team members and how it was decided that everyone would be contributing to this game’s soundtrack? The title featured the work of at least six composers from SEGA, including yourself, Kenichi Tokoi, Fumie Kumatani, Hideaki Kobayashi, Takahito Eguchi, and Mariko Nanba.
Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us about the music featured in Sonic Unleashed (also known as Sonic World Adventure in Japan). Hit the jump for our interview with SEGA’s Tomoya Ohtani. Here’s hoping that they kept this up with Sonic and the Black Knight which was just released! He acknowledges that the team took a different approach with Sonic Unleashed in terms of both scale and style, and even say she prefers having fewer vocal tracks in the game. Well, I loved it so much that I looked into getting some time with Sonic Unleashed lead composer Tomoya Ohtani, and he has some interesting comments about the soundtrack. I think the huge team at SEGA delivered this with Sonic Unleashed, which I told everyone I loved in our review last month. A good Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack? Well, I know a lot of people enjoyed the peppy soundtracks featured in the Sonic Adventure titles, but I miss the old days of catchy melodies and memorable musical moments.
