18 through 40 are officially named on the B-univ*DAYTONA USA album, and the four short versions of each track theme are part of the 19th track, "All of Name Entry" on the Let's Go Away The Video Game DAYTONA USA Anniversary Box, which is just a collection of all of these tracks. ![]() Please note that tracks 04.2, 07.2, 10.2, 13.2 and 18 through 40 are short jingles that play after entering your name (should you actually do well enough in a race to do so) as the initials given as the song title. ![]() There's only a few full tracks in the game, but they're already incredibly catchy in their own right and provide the perfect atmosphere for a high-paced game like Daytona USA. In fact, most people probably remember the music in this game just because of its incredibly Engrish vocals, but Mitsuyoshi's voice adds some sort of strange charm to the soundtrack that makes it even better. Vinnie recently completed a European solo tour in May and a festival run with UFO during the summer.Takenobu Mitsuyoshi sure is an interesting fellow not only did he compose the music to the game, he also provides the lyrics to each of the songs. After that, I sent out the recordings with and without vocals and told everyone to be creative whether that meant totally following their own inspiration or using any of my ideas. It took some thought to decide which singer I wanted to be on which song. In between recording guitars, I would shift gears and go into phases where I sang and sketched out lyrics. The only good thing about the world being shut down for months is that it gave me the time I needed to put this thing all together. I really dug his voice and ideas and knew I wanted to work with him. Ed Terry and I were on a track together a couple years back. Brian Stephenson opened for me on a tour in 2016 with his band Old James, I liked his voice and lyrics and knew he would be a good guy to collaborate with. Mike has toured with me in the past as vocalist and keyboardist, so he was an obvious choice. I have known Keith for more than 20 years and we have always talked about working together. Keith Slack and Mike DiMeo quickly came to mind. ![]() I knew right away that I wanted to collaborate with a few different vocalists I have known or worked with over the years. To set this all in motion, the next step was lining up singers. So, the idea to take a group of songs and create dual versions of each was born. It was a light bulb moment where I realized, ‘hey dummy, here’s the vocal thing you’ve been wanting to do’. As I listened through the rest of the tunes, one by one I realized that they all could be vocal songs. While playing ‘One Day’, I started hearing vocals in my head and naturally started singing along and it hit me that this would make a good vocal song. Before recording, I always do listening sessions with my demos to get production ideas. I had some song ideas and originally thought I’d do an instrumental EP with 5 or 6 songs. “This project started during the period when we were all grounded from touring. He has been an inspiration for fans and guitarists worldwide. ![]() Vinnie has toured all around the world with UFO and solo, and has two best selling guitar instructional videos. He’s recorded and toured with Alice Cooper and was opening act for Rush with his solo band on the Roll the Bones tour. He’s made many guest appearances with others and played and wrote the soundtrack for a classic Pepsi TV commercial. Vinnie Moore has released ten solo albums and six albums and a Live DVD with rock icons UFO, and is considered to be one of the originators of shred guitar.

This is his first solo release that features vocals. Vinnie is joined by singers Ed Terry (Rage And Beyond, American Mafia), Keith Slack (MSG, Mother Road), Mike DiMeo (Riot) and Brian Stephenson (Old James) on this half vocal half instrumental album. “ Double Exposure”, the follow up to Vinnie Moore’s 2019 “Soul Shifter” will be released on November 8th, 2022, via his Mind’s Eye Music label.
