It has been a while since the last official piece of this series was released (1991), but I trust that there still are international game music fans dedicated enough to recognize the traits of this masterpiece musical series in the history of video games.
The second official title, "Dragon Saber" used the melody from the ending theme of the previous "Dragon Spirit" in the opening scene, so I followed the tradition and took after the ending music of "Dragon Saber" as a motive in the opening music of this project.
The Area 7 tune was intended to be the hero's (actually portrayed as female) theme music. For your interest, an arrangement of it is also featured in my later album "metamorphosis" under the title of "Wings of Courage".
And finally, I would like to express my thanks and sincere admiration to the music creators of Namco who were involved in the original series.
