BAD CITY (TRAILER VERSION) [1:11:51] 22. LONELY MAN (TRAILER VERSION) [1:12:23] BGM by Kazuo Ohtani & Casey Rankin, performed by SHOGUN. Ripped/scanned from my CD copy Released in 1992, this CD is the first-ever release of the BGM used in the action JP TV drama series of the same name, starring Yuusaku Matsuda—previously it had been entirely unreleased, with only the OP/ED having seen releases in general. I'm not entirely fond of 70s OSTs, or Kazuo Ohtani's soundtrack works in general...but man this is THE exception. The BGM composition is on spot here and the arrangement/performance by Rankin's SHOGUN band only makes it better. Truly a shame they didn't put out any OST release for the show until the 90s! As for the CD itself, please note: this is not the album's true mix. It's another one of those stupid albums where they isolate certain instruments and only have them play separately on both channels, which IMO makes for a very unpleasant listening experience if you're listening with headphones. An acquaintance (who shall remain anonymous per his request) helped mix both channels for me so as to make the music more tolerable—I also did some edits on my end and made the BGM slightly louder to have it match the volume levels as the OP/ED. Enjoy!
