MED-13: URBAN SQUARE Original Soundtrack

About June Yamagishi.

Real name: Junshi Yamagishi
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B1...BD%A4%E5%8F%B2

At the time of this release, his name was still written "Jun". It would become "June" in later half of 1988.

On a side note, it is interesting to notice that out of 13 tracks on this OST, 7 were already on CHICKENSHACK previous albums...

According to http://www.skepticfiles.org/ezine/stuff12.htm (scroll down to Urban Square OST review) it's the same Derek Jackson who sung on the Area 88 OST. But on Urban Square he doesn't sing but does compose and arrange two of the tracks.

You can already discard your link as a trustable source then

I know it's written デレク・ジャクソン even in katakana, but truth is it's romanized Darek not Derek.

As a member of CHICKENSHACK since II (21.11.1986, MED-11), he's credited on each back jacket. This one's for II: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1600_.jpg

This is his solo album: Mother Land (21.05.1991, MECA-30010): http://file.musicmedia.blog.shinobi.jp/ccbee52e.jpeg (best pic I've found)

I knew he sung on Terrahawks LP but overlooked his performance on Area 88 albums.
Anyway, here JASRAC also credits him as Darek Jackson.

Ah okay I see. My mistake. Thank you for the info.

So I found out that there's a vinyl version of this OST...can anybody read the catalog number on this image? Maybe it's just me but it looks like it says MEL-13

[Daemonskald]

Confirmed, MEL-13
