"Nostalgia" from Medarot 5 - Susutake Mura no Tenkousei Kabuto Version on the Game Boy Color (2001) and Medarot Classics Plus Kabuto Version on the Nintendo Switch (2019)
Composer: Kinuyo Yamashita, Iku Mizutani
Album: Medarot Game Sound Archives
Label: Imagineer
Publisher: Imagineer
Developer: Natsume Co., Ltd.
The first thing I want to point out is the quality of the music coming out of this Game Boy Color sound chip. There's still that buzziness you often get with music from the Game Boy, which is just something that the composer and sound department have to deal with.
The melody here really sounds like there should be lyrics to it, like the credits music to a lot of anime from the 80s and 90s having a pop song that doesn't always fit with the tone for the rest of the movie. But here, having only listened to the music from Medarot 5 and not actually played the game, I actually find that "Nostalgia" is a perfect name for this song as it does illicit a bit of nostalgia for a game and series that I have no nostalgia for.
It could also be that the score (unsure as to who specifically composed this song though) was composed by Kinuyo Yamashita (Castlevania, Solstice) and Iku Mizutani (Family Tennis Advance)
