Has anybody noted down all of the lyrics to Ryu's tune by any chance????? Crazy how someone put something to that tune and maybe related it to Ryu...
The CD packaging indicates the title of this track as "RYU STAGE," but the lyric sheet seems to indicate a secondary title of "Fist of Wavemotion" [i.e., "Hadouken"]. Here's the lyrics, as taken directly from the CD's booklet:
==============================
I want to know how tough it's.
I want to know the place where my soul is burned out.
In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not
I continue following an endless way.
The hair waving in the scorching biting wind.
The body flickers slowly like a flame.
It's prevention about feeling intense to quiet inside.
Nobody can stop the blow the wave motion emitted.
The days which shed each other blood mutually start again.
I want to know how tough it's.
I want to know the place where my soul is burned out.
In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not
I continue following an endless way.
It has run through fighting to the extent that it cannot finish counting.
Am I tough? Can I become how far tough?
The again same thought is only repeated.
The dream of the dragon which rises in the heavens is seen.
I want to know how tough it's.
I want to know the place where my soul is burned out.
In order to draw two and the simple answer which is not
I continue following an endless way.

Th edays which shed each other blood mutually start again.
I want to know how tough it's.
I want to know the place where my soul is burned out.

==============================
Anyone who's ever fiddled with Babelfish or any other Japanese-to-English computer translation software has seen this sort of awfully awkward English before -- but the fact that it actually fits the melody line of Ryu's theme just impresses the hell out of me. Personally, I really did bad Engrish, and I've become enamored in recent years with computer Engrish (primarily due to my obsession with Yoshizaki Mine's artwork, and his liberal use of computer Engrish in both his illustrations and his website).
Additionally, RYU STAGE is arranged and performed by Mitsuyoshi Takenobu. I've been a fan of his ever since early 1994 when, as a member of musical unit B-univ, he released the Virtua Fighter arcade OST CD, "Virtua Fighter ~Saikyou no Senshi~" (including the vocal tracks "Virtua Fighter ~Kimi wa kiwamero~" and "WOLF"). By the end of 1994, B-univ also released "Virtua Fighter "SEGA SATURN" IMAGE by B-univ NEO RISING" which included a third vocal track by Mitsuyoshi, entitled "Tsuki wa hakumon no hikari." In mid-1995, the vocal image CD "Virtua Fighter 2 DANCING SHADOWS" was released, with 7 or its 11 tracks being performed by Mitsuyoshi. 1996 saw the release of a CD-Single featuring Mitsuyoshi's two vocal contributions to the Virtua Fighter anime soundtrack, "Ai ga tarinai ze" and "Solitude." In 1997, Mitsuyoshi released the vocal image CD, "Virtua Fighter 3 On The Vocal" (for which he performed the vocals for all 10 tracks), the VF3 CD-Single, "Kimi ga inai yoru" (the "JAVA TEA Battle Koushien" theme song -- also Lion's theme from "On The Vocal"), and the "Fighters MegaMix SOUND TRACKS" CD (featuring Mitsuyoshi performing the Rent-A-Hero vocal theme, "Kimi wa hito no tame ni Rent A Hero ni nareru ka"). He's also worked on the soundtracks for many other Sega properties, including Daytona USA, Shenmue, Rent-A-Hero No.1, and Burning Rangers.
Mitsuyoshi has a new "best of" vocal CD, entitled "From Loud 2 Low ~Takenobu Mitsuyoshi Works~" (HR-6, 2940 yen, released 11/04/2003), with the following tracks:
01. Let's Go Away(DAYTONA USA/B-Univ)
02. Natsu no arashi (Virtua Fighter 2 Vocal Album "Dancing Shadows")
03. Mirai e to tsuzuku sora (Victory Goal '96)
04. Ai ga tarinai ze (Anime "Virtua Fighter" Theme Song)
05. Solitude (B-side of Anime "Virtua Fighter" Theme Song CD-Single)
06. Kimi ga inai yoru (Virtua Fighter 3 Vocal Album "On The Vocal")
07. Burning Hearts -Honoo no ANGEL- (Burning Ranger)
08. I Just Smile (Burning Ranger)
09. Sling Shot (DAYTONE USA 2)
10. Shenmue Main Theme -Original Version- (Shenmue Isshou: Yokosuka)
11. Could Be (Crackin' DJ Part 2)
12. Conquista Ciela (Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force)
13. Sore yuke! Kokorojin (Sore yuke Kokorojii 2)

In late 1992, Pony Canyon's Scitron Label released the SFII vocal arrange CD, "Nesshou!! Street Fighter II (PCCB-00103), which included Yamamoto Jun'ichi's vocal theme for Ryu, entitled "Arashi ni nare" (also released on CD-Single -- PCDB-0003). Here are the romanized lyrics for that Ryu vocal theme:
Nani ga hoshikute kono mune wa

Ok, now quick question, did Takenobu Mitsuyoshi sing one of the theme songs for Wolf, specifically the one that has the line "Giant Swing Forever" ? I've been looking for a. an MP3 or CD source, and also the lyrics to said song... it's so fruity, but still cool to me
"Waga shougai ni ippen no kuinashi!"

Thanks for the link to Yoshizaki Mine's site. I recogniced the style of Arcade Gamer Fubuki, I'll take a look later.
Love me some Fubuki. Also be sure to check out his current manga series, Keroro-gunsou [Sergeant Keroro] -- diminutive, frog-like alien invaders with a penchant for weapons from the original Gundam tv series, thwarted by cute Yoshizaki girls. This one's getting its own anime tv series this year.

Time to hunt down the Virtua Fighter OST now as well it seems... Sweet track :)
Here's the info on the two VF1 CDs that included Mitsuyoshi's vocal tracks (unfortunately, these are long out of print, but this may help you track down an auction or two):

Yep, that's "WOLF," available on both the VF1 arcade OST CD (Virtua Fighter ~Saikyou no Senshi~ / B-univ, TYCY-5386) and the Sega Saturn VF1 arrange CD (Virtua Fighter "SEGA SATURN" IMAGE by B-univ NEO RISING, TYCY-5406) -- however, the lyrics are slightly different on the Saturn CD; the one you want'll be on the arcade CD. Here're those lyrics:
Hito wa naze shizuka na kimi no nemuri samasu
Mori ni hibiku kikori no uta
Yume wa ikoku no hate totemo tooku
Tatakau aitsu no omoi wa nobori-tsumeru
Giant swing forever
Unaru Lariat omae no mune de
Taose sekai no Rival-tachi o
Toki yo eien ni kemono-tachi to
Tatakae Wolf furi-kaerazu kachitsuzukero
Giant swing forever

What are the odds of something like this happening for SNK? Especially since its the 10th anniversary and all. It'd be a mighty shame if they gave SF2's tracks coverage and competely ignored all of SNK's work over the years. :\
Well, there is that KOF 10th Anniversary OST CD Boxed Set coming out in March, tho' that's apparently original soundtracks only. I suppose if that sells well, SNK might consider doing a boxed set re-release of their KOF arrange soundtrack CDs. I just don't know if SNK is financially well-off enough at this point to fund a "KOF Tribute Album" by bringing in several big name composers the way CAPCOM did -- perhaps SNK could just get as many members of their old sound team (Shinsekai Gakkyoku Zatsugidan) back together for a new AST.
