Sonic Investigation
Case #2:  Missing Music?

Question:  What is the difference between the American soundtrack for Sonic Adventure 2 and the Japanese soundtrack?

There are two CDs of Sonic Adventure 2 music that were released in Japan.  One album is the vocal collection, which contains the vocal songs of all of the characters, the main theme, and the music to Sonic’s first stage (City Escape).  The vocal album also includes instrumental versions of the previously mentioned songs.  For the sake of reporting the missing songs, I have decided not to include the instrumental versions.  If you’d like to know the final count, just add 8 to represent the instrumental songs that I did not include in counting the left-out songs.

The second CD is the original soundtrack.  This contains all of the music from the Sonic Adventure 2 game.  There are so many songs that there are two CDs:  the hero side and the dark side.  The U.S. CD did not include a lot of songs from this album, so I have listed the tracks that are missing.

And now, without further ado, I present the list of songs that were not included in the U.S. Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack.

Key:
(Number) – Counts how many tracks are missing
Number. – The original track number from the Japanese CD
Name – The words that follow after the Number. is the title of the track
