Line #3 AwesomeMusic/Twinbee


1	Like most of Creator/{{Konami}}'s franchises, ''[=TwinBee=]'' is rife with awesome soundtracks and songs.
2
3	* The opening riff and melody of the first stage theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHiIrZHHro "TwinBee's Home Town Song",]] are considered classic. There's a reason why it was remixed for ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}} III''. The main theme is like a tongue-in-cheek mix between the [[Film/SupermanTheMovie Superman theme]] in the intro and a cutesy children's adventure anime theme all throughout.
4	* The powerup theme of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1P29bsH84U "Fantastic Powers"]] is also invigorating and Superman-like in execution. The perfect theme song when everything is coming together in your gameplay.
5	* The first [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28s2Afg2Neo boss theme]] has that panic-inducing sound reminiscent of the Film/{{Jaws}} theme. It makes listeners feel queasy because of its use of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEW3F8B-lhU Shepard tones]] mixed with pop culture memories of a certain fake-looking movie shark eating people.
6	* Of the two boss themes of the first game, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toPJDyLh2Cc second one]] features the more ominous score. Its intro sounds like warning bells or an alarm then the rest of theme has a strange alien quality to it that's quite disturbing, with the theme making even better use of Shepard tones because of the presence of a ScareChord every progression.
7	* The awesome vocal songs. Creator/MarikoKouda's album [[https://vgmdb.net/album/8167 "Twinbee Vocal Paradise"]] contains classic songs such as:
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrYelc7V7Hc "Twin Memories"]] (opening of the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpu55qca7kI TwinBee Paradise]]'' anime and the ''Pop'n [=TwinBee=]'' videogame) has a melody that plays like a dream and lyrics that evoke fond memories of yesteryear, like the nostalgic franchise itself. "Twin Memories" received an official jaunty remix called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwe7iTDEHWM "Twin Memories W"]] in ''Tokimeki Idol'' that serves as a celebration of what's practically the anthem of the ''Pop'n [=TwinBee=]'' phase of the franchise.
9	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVI_JtNxOAI "Bokura no Suteki (Our Charm)"]] (''[=TwinBee=] Yahho'''s opening) is a melodious and sweet song that ostensibly showcases the "charm" of ''[=TwinBee=]'' by being a cute and charming song in and of itself about the heroes always moving forward to the future.
10	** [[https://youtu.be/sOfB2XxbtHE?t=1339 "Kaze No Okurimono (Gift of the Wind)"]] evokes mental images of flight, adventure, and freedom as a pilot of or even as one of the sentient [=TwinBee=] ships flying across the great beyond. The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1V-bjJpbLE Gift of the Wind]]" BGM from ''Detana!! [=TwinBee=]'' that the song is based on also evokes feelings of joy and accomplishment when you hear it. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSd13EYvWPc arranged version]] ups the ante, acting like it's the BGM to an anime's next episode preview[[note]]because it actually was[[/note]].
11	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF-53-yQMuo "Fantasian"]] is a song referring to the in-universe "Café Fantasian" and thusly features a serene melody befitting a relaxing café lunch near the seashore. It is also based on the Super Famicom ''Pop'n [=TwinBee=]'' Stage 5 OST.
12	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_pnP0Y1RDA "HOPE"]] is an initially mellow song that works itself to a happy ante, like hope peeking out of sadness or even despair. HOPE also serves as the opening theme to the ''[=TwinBee=] Paradise'' radio broadcast and the Japanese interactive CD-ROM software ''[=TwinBee=] Paradise in Donburi Island''.
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1skAJL_uDJI "Lucky Rapper Party"]] is the ''[=TwinBee=] Paradise'' [[DancePartyEnding ending theme]]. As expected of 1990s anime dance endings like it, it's quite the banger of a [[DancingTheme dance song]] with a bit of rap sprinkled into the mix.
14	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu6xKXwM0Hc "Twin Flight"]] describes the ''[=TwinBee=]'' series at its best with its adorable tones and lighthearted flourishes. It has been used many times after its debut game in other Konami games, like ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Otomedius}}'', and ''VideoGame/KonamiKrazyRacers'' as well.
