SCDC-00245: SEGA Arcade 80's Vol. 1

[Secret Squirrel]

Can you give some explanation and track credits for entering Hiroshi Kawaguchi, Yasuhiro Kawakami, Katsuhiro Hayashi as the composers? Thanks

Hiroshi Kawaguchi composed for Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars. Katsuhiro Hayashi composed for Sonic Boom. Yasuhiro Kawakami composed for Shinobi.

Where are the sources though? All I remember out of these three is Kawakami doing Shinobi.

Well, the notes sections of Sega System 16 Complete Soundtrack Vol.1/2 (not on the booklet, on this site) say Kawaguchi did Alex Kidd and Hayashi did Sonic Boom. I do see Hiro is mentioned in the booklet for Alex Kidd Complete Album. On the other hand, whoever made the edit to SS16CS Vol.2 should explain where they got the source about Sonic Boom being Hayashi's work. Maybe they got it from the high score screen, I dunno.

Yeah, we do know Okunari confirmed Shinobi as being Kawakami's work.

This appears to have been me! I have no idea what my source was to add Hayashi to the albums with Sonic Boom's music last year.

I did just find this post from Scitron producer Takahiro Yagi talking about releasing Sonic Boom's soundtrack on this very album (he says it's a Scitron album 16 years after the fact; Sonic Boom - 1987 / this - 2003): https://note.mu/world_champon/n/n6a180a0c1573. He names the composer as Hayashi, so that seems pretty solid.
