Blog:Share a Song of Six Pence
It's the YouTube video that's got the whole Internet a-buzzin' (and by "got the whole Internet a-buzzin'," I mean it got passing mentions on NeoGAF and GoNintendo). It's a comparison of a piece of music from NES Rygar and the opening music from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Turns out they're the same song, more or less. I hadn't noticed this myself, but it's not as surprising as one might think. Composer Michiharu Hasuya worked for Tecmo and later worked for Advance Communication, the developer of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (not sure if he was an employee there, though). I can't confirm Hasuya's involvement with either of these games since they don't have credits, but Hasuya's/ACC's stuff on the Famicom/NES has a very distinct sound, right down to the sound effects. There's no mistaking it in these games.
