A friend sent me this link. Excellent stuff that you need to see. [video=youtube_share;WbZk-Ar6a6w]http://youtu.be/WbZk-Ar6a6w[/video] This is the original composer / singer too. Man, he's having fun!
FANTASTIC!!!! My god he is into that. Great performance, right I am off to unpack the PS3 and load up the PSN version, no sod it I'm going crazy and going for the Saturn version................... "Daytona lets go away!" @Sanbre470-You are right good to put a face to the song.
The first time I've watched this I was so happy inside. It's really cool. And I never tought about how Sega was ever so bounded to Project Diva (final seconds of the video).
Nice find, I'd never seen the whole thing, just clips in other videos. Now of course I'm itching to fire up my 360...
I must have watched this clip 5 times but still get a kick out of it. I just love the way he's so I to it. In fact I'm going to rip the music and use it on the 360 version by the custom soundtrack option.
This was effing amazing! Brought such a huge smile to my face seeing him have so much fun and passion singing a song which no doubt brings him incredible feelings of warmth and nostalgia that it does for me!
I genuinely mean this - Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is perhaps the single biggest reminder of what Sega used to be at its peak (and could be again). Always full of enthusiasm for what he does, there truly isn't a better mascot of sorts for the "blue skies" mentality that put this once great company at the top in the '90s, and yes, I say that knowing very well that phrase was of his creation! Really, I don't even want to imagine calculating how much I've spent tracking down his back catalogue, from the Sega Sound Team Band through to the short lived B-Univ and later work as a solo artist. Apart from the obvious Daytona USA soundtrack, I'd recommend his image albums for the original Virtua Fighter trilogy and all three titles in the From Loud 2 Low series, not to mention his vocal themes for the sadly missed Victory Goal franchise. While it's reassuring to see that fellow B-Univ member Koichi Namiki also went on to have a similarly lengthy and prosperous career with Konami, I'd love to know where David Leytze has vanished to... After writing the music to Fighting Vipers and contributing a few other tracks during his three-years at Sega (including some vocal parts), he seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth to become a drum instructor, or so I've heard. These days, he's probably best known for the self-referential David Goes To Victory Lane, the short piece heard during the name entry section in the first Daytona. Even if it was just for an interview or to provide some kind of commentary for a retrospective boxed set, one of my biggest dreams is for B-Univ to reunite. Would it be too much to ask for a one-off live celebration of their work? P.S. Here's a link to the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3V3tLfSVKg
Everytime I see that guy sing Daytona it's.... Hypnotic.... It's like a brainwashing thing but in music......
