''Ys''/''Streets of Rage'' composer [[Yuzo Koshiro]] composed the music for the first 8-bit title, barring what was taken from the 16-bit title. Sega's in-house music company, [[Wave Master]], has done the majority of the remaining music in series. One Wave Master employee, [[Jun Senoue]], is part of the band [[Crush 40]] has played the main theme songs of the [[Sonic Adventure|two ''Sonic'']] ''[[Sonic Adventure 2|Adventure games]]'', ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]''. [[Richard Jacques]], a frequent composer of music for [[Sega]] games, contributed to the soundtracks of ''[[Sonic R]]'' and the [[Sega Saturn|Saturn]]/[[PC]] version of ''[[Sonic 3D Blast]]'', the [[Sonic Boom (series)|''Sonic Boom'']] series games and has continued to contribute to the soundtracks of racing games. [[Tomoya Ohtani]] has been the sound director for most of the main series games since [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006)]].
