Possible inspiration for "Kessen wa Kinyoubi"?

I was listening to the radio and heard The Emotions, "The Best of My Love", and I was struck by a number of similarities to DCT songs it contained. While listening to it, I was strongly reminded of "Takaku Agere!" (the horn section), and the BGM from Labyrinth Zone, but mostly of "Kessen wa Kinyoubi...

A non-DCT song composed by Masa

I was searching Youtube for Masa's name, spelled in Kanji, as I do occasionally, and came across a PV and live version of a song by Mariko Nagai (Kanji: 永井真理子), called Midsummer Eve (Kanji: 真夏のイヴ). It seems Masa is the composer and arranger! You can sure hear it. In the live performance, it looks li...

They are in low res in the books section, but there are links to hi res pdfs in the blog section of the site. There isn't anything else about DCT that I noticed, but there are a ton of cool Phantasy Star and a...

DCT Article and Advert in SPEC Magazine

Back in the really early days of the Mega Drive in Japan, Sega had a newsletter called Sega Players Enjoy Club (SPEC). It was drawn and written by the developers themselves, and was pretty cool, but only lasted for several issues. I came across some scans online, and in issue 7 there were some prett...

Hello from Mercury

Hi, how you doin'? I'm one of those DCT fans who was introduced to them through Masa's fantastic scores for the Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Genesis. Since I first played Sonic when I was about 5, I guess I've been a fan of his music for as long as I can remember! Of course I've since come to enj...
