A lot of the people doing video game music in the 80s were Casiopea fans, so there is a big overlap between their stuff and game music.

Their track "Countdown" being a very cleae example.

Yeah, so I noticed :D A YouTube video I saw also mentioned T-Square as another one that’s likely to’ve influenced video game music.

Listening to some of Casiopea’s tracks definitely evokes that feeling of ‘I might’ve heard that in Ridge Racer or Gran Turismo’ without being able to pin down a specific track.

I’m not seeing a track called Countdown on YT music though, what album is that on?

Huh I'm not seeing it either, but it's a dead ringer for the Pole Position start music.

Maybe it was actually by another band and Spotify sneaked it into the playlist?
