Every month, Phantom River Stone holds a poll among our patrons to choose a topic for the blog in the coming month. After tallying the votes (including those carried over from previous months), the winning topic this time is:
"Composer Comments from the Shenmue Original Sound Track CD"
Released in March 2000, the Shenmue ~Chapter One: Yokosuka~ Original Sound Track included a booklet featuring commentary written by the composers themselves for each track on the album.

The comments provide a fascinating glimpse into the creation of Shenmue’s music, touching on everything from memories of research trips in China to the atmosphere the composers imagined while writing specific pieces.
The booklet also contains detailed composer credits, providing rare confirmation of which composers created many of Shenmue’s best-known pieces.
In this post, we'll translate the booklet commentary in full, along with composer information and scene screenshots showing where each piece is used in the game.
Coming soon to the blog!
