Phils Game/Pop Music Similarities #245 - Megarçon Là

Featuring Mega Man 2 and Synth Pop.

Greetings fellow game music lovers,

yeah, I'm still not finished with Mega Man 2 (1988). And seeing how the game is usually recited as the defining entry in the series, this attention is well deserved. One theme we didn't have a look at yet is the robot master / stage select screen:

Again I think we are with the dystopian synth pop that likely brought us the Wily 2 theme from last week. Let's start with Mikado, a well known synth pop duo from the 80s:

Mikado - "Ce Garçon Là" (1982):

But of course no synth pop sampling is complete with a japanese entry:

Yoko Oginome - "ベルベットの悪戯" (1986):

Next week more Mega Man!

Phil out.
