Today, to coincide with the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" in theatres in Japan, rapper SKY-HI has released a new digital single titled Fly Without Wings inspired by the movie.
Back in the 1990s, the music from the original "Sonic the Hedgehog" games was composed by Japanese musician Masato Nakamura, and his band DREAMS COME TRUE recently released their own song based on the music from Sonic’s Green Hill
Zone – titled UP ON THE GREEN HILL from Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone - MASADO and MIWASCO Version -. Inspired heavily by the movie, SKY-HI’s track samples from DREAMS COME TRUE’s song, with production by m-flo's ☆Taku Takahashi,
and features a message about overcoming adversity to “fly without wings”.
