The official Ace Combat YouTube channel has been occasionally been posting remixes of music from the series by Keiki Kobayashi and Bandai Namco sound staff for the past few months, and the latest one is an arrangement of "ZERO" by Kobayashi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJohexRaTgA

On Twitter, he explained that it was dedicated to Chick Corea, whose music helped him to write "ZERO":
Quote:
First of all,
I am deeply grateful to Project ACES for giving me this opportunity. thanks you!
And one more. I would like to leave a message here.


Dear Chick Corea,
It's been almost a month since you were in heaven.
Please listen to one story.


It was a dozen years ago.
I had the opportunity to make music for a video game called "ACE COMBAT ZERO".


When I realized that the music needed a Spanish taste, I had the first thought. It was how best to refer to your musical elements for commercial purposes.

How can I get the optimal solution in a given environment and time? I was worried alone every day.

A few weeks later, I finished composing a song.
I named the song "ZERO".

Your musical brilliance gave me the inspiration to create "ZERO".


Last month, I heard your obituary.
I wondered if there was a way to express my gratitude to you.


I came up with the idea of ​​rearranging "ZERO" for you,
Using all the "opportunities", "musical skills" and "passions" I have now.


These notes and rhythms you choose have always been full of originality.

These counterline you made was extremely beautiful, chromatic and brilliant.


For me you were the greatest artist who had the strongest influence.

With my heartfelt gratitude to you,
I dedicate this song to you.

Thank you very much.

KEIKI KOBAYASHI
Really surprising revelation to me haha, although after hearing the Spanish guitar lines recontextualized as EP noodling, I can kinda see it
