The all-new remixed soundtrack, features a new setlist produced by Game Centre MIKADO! With 16 tracks reborn with live performances and new arrangements and a huge range of popular Japanese artists, including: Go Sato Band / HEAVY METAL RAIDEN / Soshi Hosoi / FANTOM IRIS / O.T.K / Daisuke Matsumoto [CAVE] / Keishi Yonao / Hirokazu Koshio [COSIO]

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
