WM-0570: SUPER HANG-ON 20th Anniversary Collection

[Carl]

Koichi Namiki proves that his skills just keep getting better with time, unleashing lightning guitar solos that are mindblowing on this album.

The 4 final tracks here, the ~Micky Arrange Versions~ showcase both his arranging talents and his guitar talents, resulting in the best versions of these songs ever, solidly beating out all other previous SST Band versions.

Not to say the [H.] Band arrange ver is lacking either though, it's a very nice version itself too. Even the originals are still great fun to hear, so we have Funky KH to thank for composing classics like "Outride a Crisis" and "Sprinter" in the first place though.

The Micky Arranges are excellent blending of both "old school game music" and "current game music" in that the feeling and melodies of the original song are strengthened (rather than masked/hidden) by the modern sound productions and layered guitars.

I feel this is Namiki's finest work to date and he really threw all he has into these versions, so please check out the all of the incredible guitar solos during the later portions of the 4 Micky Arranges.

Uploaded a front cover art with signatures. Not sure who they are.

Based on the date, I'd assume this was signed at EXTRA - HYPER MUSIC GAME EVENT 2007, at which Sega's [H.] performed. I can't find a concert recap or program or something that lists the band's lineup that night, but from the pics in the booklet, I think they're Hiro, Hidenori Shoji, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, Mitsuharu Fukuyama, and Takahiro Kai.

So: Shoji signature in the bottom left and Kai in the bottom middle for sure. Maaaaaaybe Fukuyama in the upper right? Very unsure about that and the rest (not sure if they're even the other [H.] members or not).
