Jun Senoue and Kenichi Tokoi on Sonic Adventure Original Sound Track:

Tornado …for Windy Valley

Senoue: For the music of tornado, I thought of showing the waviness of strong wind with not only SE but also music. It’s because these first and last pieces are refreshing, so naturally you’d be impressed, right!!?

Tokoi: This is an already finished music when I joined this project, and at that time, I felt it to be very unique. It’s because there was plenty of cheerfulness for the music of Sonic so far…. But it is also the truth that I felt relieved of the burden after listening to this music. “I can make dark music,” I’d say without reservation….
