History AwesomeMusic / VirtualOn

Legendary video game composer Creator/YuzoKoshiro scores this game, and from synth beats that hearken back to ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'' and ''VideoGame/WanganMidnight'' to hard rock that evokes ''VideoGame/Ys'' and ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'', it shoes.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeSA7Qgpj-E Burning Muscles ~ Ichiban☆Boshi]], the theme of Sgt. Issy Hatter, pilot of Apharmd the Hatter.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06hEsVkEdq0 Ocean Whispers]]. This plays specifically for whenever Bal-Bados is fought in the Undersea Plant stage, as it transforms into a special variant for that stage known as Bal-Baros.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAG5pKlR4A Coral Flanger]], Fei-Yen Kn's theme.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFIZUdsVb3I Sunshine Generator]], Cypher's theme. In stark contrast to Viper II, Cypher has a much more controllable jet form, and has a more uplifting tune to go along with it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe6Ec2yb1wY Zodiac Empathy]], the theme of Cypher when fought on the Blank Frank stage, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm232f1uu3U 5.66 Version]]. Perfectly captures the feeling of an intense battle in space.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5paSVzBNwbE Movin' Melodies]], the theme of Bal-Bados when fought on the Blank Frank stage. A distinctly Latin tune which is omnipresent throughout the Bal series' themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeG3jauI7rE Sweet Tragedy of Dreams]], the theme of Bal-Bados when fought in the Sotrage Depot stage, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrJEIxuVNTY 5.66 Version]]. An up-to-date reinterpretation of "Ruins", befitting the Bal series' evolution from its original, odd vacuum cleaner-esque design.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27jJt4j1mzA Teenage Fortune]], Stein-Vok's theme. Originally the theme for the Dreamcast-added stage Autobahn, the stage was eventually assigned to Stein-Vok. This is the only real exception to Higher Ground being referenced in the themes of its successors, as Stein-Vok uses beam weapons instead of explosives, marking it as the oddball of the family.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pTQ1__2jCk 515 Hours]], a theme for Apharmd. Fans of SEGA rail shooters will recognize this one. It's a remix of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4137I9b8Dw United Nations H.Q.]] stage theme from ''Gunblade NY'', a project for which Kentaro Koyama was also the composer. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap6OxoAx7SA The official Sega Sound Unit [H.] remix]] turns the EpicRocking UpToEleven.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B8dM6LMvFI Fantastic Light]], a theme for Guarayakha. Unlike the previous theme, this one has a bit of an otherworldly tone to it, as though something isn't quite right about this mech. [[spoiler: Sure enough, it was designed to contain Jaguarandi, but it ends up used as a vessel for it to materialize into the real world.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwcAbTNpavU Harmless sigh]]; the White Knight's battle theme. Aside from being based on Temjin's "in the blue sky", it has a feeling of desperation and anguish which is fitting given the White Knight has no real desire to destroy you this plays not only when you fight him but when you fight the shadow version of yourself in the Moon arc.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwcAbTNpavU Harmless sigh]]; the White Knight's battle theme. Aside from being based on Temjin's into the blue sky, it has a feeling of desperation and anguish which is fitting given the White Knight has no real desire to destroy you. It also plays when you fight the shadow version of yourself in the final arc of the Moon area.

Yet another SEGA classic with a fine selection of music, composed by Kentaro Koyama, with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi joining in from ''FORCE'' onward.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxFUWLvJsLA Drill Domination]], Dordray and Motoharu Tsuchimikado's theme.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njbh5FXNN4c Psychedelic Pleasure]], BAL-Bados's theme, and Index Librorum Prohibitorum's alternate theme by extension.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7nr4JnpOgY Pandemic Nostalgia]], Ririn Furashina's theme. She pilots an exclusive mech specifically for this game known as Cypher 2000 "Blue Stalker".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Aj6YFCdcw Vital Bros ver.55]], the collective theme for the Apharmd series, making it the theme of Ruiko Saten's, Acqua of the Back's, & Kaori Kanzaki's theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqiCAoZaNNU Forbidden Acceleration]], Specineff & Accelrator's theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0PY7lhp_bs Streak of Black Sorrow]], Raiden and Mikoto Misaka's theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpFJx1nSG9I Lonely Phantasm]], the theme of "PPRIMA", a brand-new Virtuaroid created by Tangram that serves as the FinalBoss.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Aj6YFCdcw Apharmd C & Kaori Kanzaki's theme.

* [[https://youtu.be/PdngO6NhU5s Light of the Moon]], this haunting theme plays the first time you meet a shadow VR, immediately giving the air that something isn't quite right on the moon.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieamIBRecCk Everything Merges With the Night]], Dorkas' theme, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cmct35lMkk Saturn version]]. A very calm piece that sets the mood for a battle at night amidst a city-scape. The stage itself proved so popular it was brought back for Oratorio Tangram. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wifHs4BT3lo Oratorio Tangram version]] eventually became associated with the 10/80 Special, as it was assigned to the stage in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1_2YLRS2iA Oratorio Tangram Version 5.66]]. It eventually got a new rearrangement on the soundtrack for the PS2 re-release, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkfYwUdVCEQ SOUND! SHOCK Arrange version]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXaZFKUEIy8 From the Moon to Me]], an unused song for Fei-Yen, and one that might sound [[Franchise/SailorMoon remarkably familiar]] to anime fans. It was remixed as the first half of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI9D74VI1LE Theme of FEI-YEN]] in the [=CyberNet=] Rhapsody drama album, and eventually became the theme of the secret boss added in the SEGA Ages PS2 port, the Original Fei-Yen.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqgncevtaM Conquista Ciela]], a theme for the MYZR, and a re-interpretation of Cypher's theme Zodiac Empathy. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's first contribution to the franchise, and it shows. This song also got a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ1RbbZBK70 vocal version]] with Mitsuyoshi's singing, of course.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqgncevtaM Conquista Ciela]], a theme for Temjin 747. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's first contribution to the franchise, and it shows. This song also got a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ1RbbZBK70 vocal version]] with Mitsuyoshi's singing, of course.
