Jun Senoue on Sonic Heroes Vocal Trax:

It Doesn’t Matter …Theme of “Sonic”

It’s unforgettable that the time I recorded the guitar solo of this song was around 4 a.m. One by one I tried to look back at the short sentences written down in my notebook and connect them for the lyrics later on my way to work. I’m satisfied with everything—Tony’s singing, the music composition as well as my own guitar play—and it’s one of my favorite songs even now. Come to think of it, I was introduced an engineer who lives in L.A. and the song I completed with him for the first time was this.
