Music from the arcade classic, newly remastered and available on vinyl for the first time outside of Japan. Composed in 1987 by SEGA’s legendary in-house programmer, Hiroshi “Hiro” Kawaguchi (OutRun, Space Harrier), this vinyl release of After Burner II features the complete arcade score, along with an unused “Melody Version” of the title track. In addition, we are proud to include a second disc of bonus material, including three arranged versions by SEGA’s in-house live band (S.S.T. Band) from 1988, along with a keyboard and brass infused medley performed by Hiro’s current band, SEGA Sound Unit [H.].

After Burner II is presented as a double 180g LP, cut at 45RPM and housed in a heavyweight single-pocket sleeve. Also included is a 250gsm foldout poster of the original artwork, featuring the iconic F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, which has been newly licensed for this release.*

This release is available in the following editions:

- 2 x 180g Purple and Blue Swirl (Limited Edition)
- 2 x 180g Opaque Purple
- 2 x 180g Classic Black

Hello, I'm Kermakastikeritari, or Kermis for short. I am a hobbyist musician from Finland, mainly making music for fun and my own enjoyment.

Firage is a "fictional video game music" project that I founded in 2005. Firage doesn't really have a set genre, but I'm highly influenced by other video game musicians, rock/metal music and various kinds of electronic music.

I'm more interested in composing, arranging and mixing music on a computer rather than actually playing physical instruments, but I'm capable of performing some simple stuff on keyboard and guitar.

I mainly use OpenMPT, FamiTracker, FL Studio and Audacity to create my music.

Most of my music is released under the Creative Commons Attribution license, so feel free to use my music either as it is or by expanding on it. And if you do, please send me a link to your game/video/remix/other creation, I'm curious.
