Check out yaoiboi92's channel below:    / yaoiboi92   Cassette-only release published by Toshiba EMI that contains original music made for the Zoids Japanese toyline, though the last track on this album is a compilation of BGM from the NES game "ZOIDS: Chuuou Tairiku no Tatakai". As per usual with most of Hisaishi's 80s works...this is one such album of his that a lot of people don't seem to know about. Who would've thought Hisaishi of all people would've made music for Zoids? Anywho. There's a quiet low-quality rip of the cassette on YT, and to my knowledge this hadn't been properly ripped anywhere. So...I did what I had to do 😎 Only a few tracks on this release needed some digital cleaning-up by me, but otherwise this transfer came out surprisingly well from a cassette of all things! HOWEVER: do note that I didn't fix up the Game Medley track all that much since you can just rip the music straight from the NES game itself; I didn't see it reasonable to fix it up for that reason alone, though I did do some touch-ups on it here and there. That's about it. This is a nice Hisaishi 80s album for what it's worth, so if you're into his synth works then do consider giving this a listen. Enjoy!!
