Compilation Details For Gradius V:

The soundtrack was scored by freelance composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, whose previous video game work included the soundtrack to the tactical role-playing game Final Fantasy Tactics, the arcade shooter Radiant Silvergun and the action/RPG hybrid Vagrant Story. Sakimoto noted in an interview that "It was a great honor for me to able to work on a title like this, but also very stressful" and names the original Gradius as an important source of inspiration on his work.

He also revealed that his clients requested a specific style of music that would be reminiscent of the earlier games, and the score as a result comprises remixes of music used in previous Gradius titles including a number of new, original tracks, in a similar vein. Synthesized orchestral instruments were used throughout the production of the soundtrack.
