Hello there!

I-Chu (aka I-Chu Sound Studio or ICSS) was an amazing doujin / vgm cover artist who used to share many of his covers as mp3 downloads in his own site around 10 years ago. Unfortunately the site is down and looks like nobody has still the old mp3s. After a long time research on the net all I was able to find is 2 of the old site downloads and the only officially released album. But there was lots more of stuff in the old site.

So, I open this topic with the hope and illusion that maybe someone reading this has the mentioned files somewhere and can share them with the world, so we all can enjoy the greatness of such covers. You would do a great favor to all those who sure are still searching for this and I'd be especially grateful to you!

For the moment, this is all I was able to get:

3 of the mp3s that was available to download in the old website: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m4lwh244lo1qwhs/ichu.zip (this includes the cover for "Fighting of the spirit" from Tales of Phantasia and the boss themes from FF6 and FF7)

And the official released album called Black Box: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zyydnhy2mmn/I-Chu_-_Black_Box.zip (it includes many more of amazing covers)

The mentioned old website is still accesible via The Archive but the mp3s are not archived. If someone is curious about it, there it is: https://web.archive.org/web/20060620154453/http://members.ld.infoseek.co.jp/i_chu/music/music.html

So, there is someone who still has at least some of the mp3s and can share them with the world, please?

Bump! Thanks to someone on Reddit there are more tracks by I-Chu found and available for download: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemusic/comments/5tscwu/request_ichu_sound_studio_do_someone_still_has/dec8si9/

The tracks that were available on his old website seems to be the hardest to find, though. There is someone on this forum who downloaded at least some of this mp3s in the oldest times and can share the files for everybody? Hopefully all together we'll be able to keep the legacy :D
