Sweet Home (Arranged): Juko Tamiya

Now here’s a rare gem. This is the soundtrack album to the cult classic video game "Sweet Home". It was released alongside the game in 1989, and it features enhanced instrumentation and re-arranged music. Junko Tamiya composed the original melodies for the NES version, and for this album she collaborated with a number of Capcom employees to arrange that material. One of these people was Yoko Shimomura, who would later make her own musical contribution to the RPG horror genre with "Parasite Eve".

I regret to say that the quality of these MP3s are far from optimal. The source file was a half-hour MP3 that was encoded at 64 kb/s, apparently ripped from a Nico Douga video or something. Unfortunately, given the rarity of this album, this is probably the best quality we can hope for…unless someone here has an actual copy of the CD and wishes to upload a rip of their own! 🙂

(NOTE: I took liberties in translating the name of Track 4. The literal romanized name was "Un Rorandora", the meaning of which escapes me. I decided to name the track "Silent Cat", after the creepy feline who appears in the area of the game this music accompanies. "Dora" means stray, right?)

1. Shadow
2. Wandering Visitors
3. Looking Back on Scenes — Reflection —
4. Silent Cat
5. Elegy
6. Solitude
7. Sadness
8. The Time to Come

Run Time — 28:03

File Link: [It’s gone. Scroll down for a link to a higher quality rip.]

I’d love to give this a listen, but the link is dead. : | Re-up please?

That’s strange. I haven’t had a link on MU deleted in a long time, and for such an obscure album…

I’ll reupload it ASAP.

New link is up!

I downloaded and love this soundtrack. I’m so glad you had it! I just finished the game and I jumped straight on here to find the music. I was expecting a rip or something, but this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much! : )

Link is down again : |

MEGAUPLOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

*fistshake*

Un Rorandora doesn’t really translate correctly; as there is no ‘dora’ in Japanese dielectric as ドラ but I took a look at the original list and realize you misread it: ン・ロランドラ is literary ‘The Rorandora’ but if you read it as Engrish it says "The loran gong"; in game there is a probably a butchered Japanese use of the the word or Lorient; where one of the in-game fresco’s was originally displayed (its a town in France) before being shipped back for bad publicity. Its a nice background music tho.

Can this be reuploaded? Thanks!

I’ll see. What’s a good file sharing site to use?

I’m not sure, but maybe zshare still works?

Bumping this to request a re-upload as well. I’d suggest mediafire. 🙂

Here is a 192 kbps MP3 version of the album

Thanks! Nice to see there’s a higher quality version of this album out there.

It says that link is deleted. Any chance of a reup?

Bumping; does anyone have this soundtrack that would be willing to upload? Thanks!

I also would like a reup as well. I’m having a very hard time finding this soundtrack anywhere.

Does anyone still have this?

Still looking for this if anyone has it. 🙂
