MIDI Week Singles: "Title Theme" - Amida (DMG)

 


"Title Theme" from Amida on the Nintendo Game Boy (1990)
Composer: Yōri Kon, Jouji Tsukamoto
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Coconuts Japan Entertainment Co., Ltd
Developer: Sofix


First off, a couple of notes about the composers.  I do not know for certain that either Yōri Kon or Jouji Tsukamoto wrote the music for Amida.  There is very little information about this game which was only released in Japan although there appear to be English translations of the title screen and the end credits.  During the credits, it appears that everyone who worked on the game was listed under "Produced By" and then everyone's name.  After looking at who was credited, only Yōri Kon and Jouji Tsukamoto had any music or sound department credits to their name, which is why I am listing both of them as the composer although I do not know 100% for sure if either of them were for this title.

The second thing is that because there was no official soundtrack released, but after watching a couple of playthrough videos, this song would always play during the titles, hence the name.  But you're also able to select what song you want played during the actual game stages (like in Tetris and Dr. Mario), with both videos deciding on "Music No 1" which is different than this song.  I bring up the obvious because I frequently see this song labeled as "BGM #01" which is technically true, but I feel that I don't often see title music labeled as "BGM."

Lastly, I really like this song.
