I’ve always wondered, does anyone know exactly what’s being said in the Japan Team’s theme (“Esaka”, IMO the Ryu BGM of the KoF series) from King of Fighters '94??? Some of those early-mid '90’s SNK games occasionally threw in obscure samples into their background music (dunno if it was for style or to show off the Neo’s sound capabilities…sure as hell not possible on the Sega Genesis with it’s laryngitis voice samples) and in the case of Esaka they sampled some guy repeatedly saying “You can hear behind me now” and then something else (which I interpret as “You can hear behind me now that uh, this is called Blue Death” or something like that :lol: ). Also, the intro BGM from the KoF '95 AST uses a sample that I’ve heard elsewhere (but don’t remember where exactly) which goes "Come on children, now we’re gonna have a little music, like old times. Look, now I’ll start the melody on the org-) before it cuts off into original stuff. Anyone know the sources of these two samples and more specifically what the hell’s being said in that KoF '94 sample???
Sega Genesis…laryngitis voice samples…good one. remembers the horrible sound of the SF2: Turbo port
The original MVS version of “Esaka” '94, not the crappy technofied AST version. I believe that aforementioned voice sample is also heard in one of Rugal’s two themes in KOF '94 as well.
I got one for you. A few months back I was listening to the end music to KOF ‘98. After the the Black Noah sinks and the helicopter is in the air, the “incoherent” voice you’re hearing is actually saying: "Say that s*** like you just got yo’ m***** f****** check and you fin’na come pick up the thing."
How they managed to get away with using that sound byte is beyond me…
BTW, what is the lady saying in KOF '95’s “Arashi No Saxaphone”?
Well, the quality of the output from the Genesis sound suite really depended on who’s hand it was in. But overall it was a very limited soundchip. The real flaw of the Genesis’ hardware was that anemic color palette…so annoying.
Anyways, back on topic: “You can hear behind me now” etc…
Does anyone have a audio program infront of them where they can slow the frams down and make it be spolen in slow motion. Also If u speak japanese u can tell us as well.
