The wiki article for the game Psycho Soldier mentions it as being the first game with an in-game vocal.

Intriguing! I made a change to the artist page for Kaori Shimizu; her kanji name should be 清水香織 instead of 清水香里 (also Kaori Shimizu, but born in 1983 and has many major anime voice roles; she's also done voices for games, so we'll have to careful not to mix up the two if she ever gets entered into the artist database).

Yeah, that's the one I mention here:

The vocal is actually pretty catchy. I like it. Anyway that pink cassette is just funny.

The character pictured on the cover of the cassette is none other than SNK's top leading lady, Athena Asamiya, who made her debut in this game. Athena was originally voiced by "Rushana" in the game.
Here are the lyrics for "PSYCHO SOLDIER": PSYCHO SOLDIER! PSYCHO BEAM ga hikari hatachi Athena no sugata terashidasu no PSYCHO POWER wo kokoro ni himete Hateshinai michi wo hashiru Ima wa mou aozora mienai kedo FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER PSYCHO SWORD ga yami wo saite Athena wa yume wo sukui dasu no Honoo no you ni moeru hitomi Kibou no kakera wo mitsume Ima wa mada namida wa misenai wa FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER PSYCHO BEAM no kagayaki nokoshi Athena wa mirai wo motome tabidatsu Dare hitori shiranai ashita Hi no tori no sugata karite Dokomademo tsuzuku sora wo tobu no FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER FIRE! FIRE! PSYCHO SOLDIER

Also I wouldn't call Athena SNK's top lady, this place is reserved for Mai Shiranui. Thanks for the lyrics, didn't even know about this SNK release! Awesome! It says enclosure, but enclosed with what? A Magazine? Edit: looks like there is also an alternative print 10TH-114. Perhaps the CD version? Can't find any information.

Here is some extra info: http://homepage3.nifty.com/foruser/a...fcgallery.html
The cassette credits just "SNK" for composition/lyrics, but actually JASRAC has Eikichi Kawasaki. (But I wonder, did he really compose them? Kawasaki is (was?) SNK's top boss, weird...). About 10TH-114, here is some info (the site also has a bunch of obscure albums). Apparently a cassette published by "テイチクレコード", can't find much else. |

Athena was SNK's first heroine, just like Michelle Heart was Capcom's, although most people put on top Mai and Chun-li because of the popular fighter games. The cassette came as a package with the FC version of Athena, that's why is an enclosure. According to the defunct site JGML, 10TH-114 was a CD and it included karaoke versions of the songs, however, I haven't been able to find any material that can confirm the existence of such CD. |

I've edited the tracklist with better translations and wrote them in brackets since the cassette only lists the songs and not the tracks from the videogame. The name of the tracks appeared later in GSM SNK 1, SNK Original Best and Athena the Music, but they're nowhere in this release. Last edited by emuxer; Nov 10, 2012 at 03:04 PM. |

Later I found that this album does clearly credit Kawasaki for composition and lyrics, probably trustworthy. Still weird tho.

I've seen corporations being credited for music by JASRAC. I just checked now and there's even a lot of music credited to "SNK."

Weird indeed, who knows. Only someone who worked at SNK during those days could clarify that, so I guess we should stay with the JASRAC credit.
