"Area 5" from Super Bomberman 4 on the Super Family Computer (1996)
Composer: Jun Chikuma & Yasuhiko Fukuda
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Hudson Soft
Developer: Produce!
My first thought upon hearing this song was, "It's the 'Tunak Tunak Tun' song by Daler Mehndi!" But this is not. I obviously knew I was listening to the Super Bomberman 4 soundtrack but this song sounds so similar to "Tunak Tunak Tun" that it is uncanny, but it cannot be that. SB4 was developed by Produce! in 1996 while "Tunak Tunak Tun" was released in 1998. But on top of that, the "Area 5" theme from this game is a revamped version of the "Final Area" theme that was used in Bomberman '94 (aka Mega Bomberman), released in 1994.
I guess that is really all I have to say about this song and probably why it was the one stand-out track from Super Bomberman 4 for me because it sounded like another song that was released four years after the original version of this song was written. All the while wondering if Daler Mehndi or one of his producers was an avid Bomberman fan, or if it is just a coincidence.
