Wayô Records is thrilled to make available the acclaimed Mega Drive soundtracks to Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage II composed by Yuzo Koshiro in digital, CD, and cassette tape formats. The new CD release of Streets of Rage II follows Wayô Records’s 2017 Streets of Rage digital and CD release with new commentary from Koshiro and a 17-minute-long megamix by composer Shinji Hosoe. A digital release of Streets of Rage II will follow in the coming months and both will also be released on cassette tape for the first time ever. The fan-favorite Streets of Rage soundtracks have become known the world over and have been a topic of documentaries for their strong dance music inspirations and have been hard to come by until now. These special Streets of Rage offerings are now available for pre-order via the Wayô Records online shop:

“We are excited to work again with composer Yuzo Koshiro to release the Streets of Rage II Perfect Soundtrack featuring an exclusive brand new mix by Shinji Hosoe,” comments Wayô Records producer Jonathan Khersis. “For the very first time, we will also release a tape edition of both soundtracks. This is undoubtedly the ultimate retro format as many of us likely have childhood memories of recording our favorite game music on cassette tapes given how hard game soundtracks were to come by. This game series is a perfect fit for this format and we hope it inspires as much nostalgia in fans as it does in us.”
