According to GMCL and many other sites (Google it if you're curious), Junya Nakano composed the music for SIDEWINDER F.  It's a jet flying game put out by Asmik Ace back in 2001.  I decided to buy it and rip the music.  Though the credits in the game don't list Nakano by name, they do credit "Square Sounds" for music and sound.

So anyway.. 10 tracks total, just shy of a half hour of music.  A few tracks sound like your usual Nakano (track 10 especially) and others don't, but it's all quality stuff.

The opening and track 10 are SO obviously Nakano's work. Thanks for the rip!

Thank you very much! This is Nakano indeed. Some tracks remind me of Musashiden 2.

Just *wow*.
Excellent initiative, thanks a lot Miker!

Does anyone know if Sidewinder V (2003) has the same music or arrangements from Sidewinder F (2001)? That explains the rumor that Nakano worked on V too, or Nakano briefly left Square (as we know Square's whole sound division was a subsidiary company from 1999 to 2002, so it was possible for employees to work on other companies' projects, in theory).

Thanks!!  Nakano's works sometimes rival that ov Hamauzu's in terms of expansion.  I'm anxious to hear these.

Bumping to pimp this awesome rip. I'm more fond of it than most of Nakano's recent stuff!
