Japan's SKY-HI Releases Official 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' Movie-inspired Track 'Fly Without Wings' Today
As one of Japan's most creative and proactive artists and the president and producer of cutting-edge management company/label BMSG, SKY-HI continues to push the boundaries of music every day.
Now, as the mega-hit movie ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ is finally released in theaters in Japan, SKY-HI has contributed his official movie-inspired track ‘Fly Without Wings’, which is released today.
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 boldly from DREAMS COME TRUE's song, with production by ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo, block.fm), and features a positive rap message about overcoming adversity to “fly without wings”.
A music video has also been released, harnessing the thrill of Sonic's speed for an incredible audio-visual experience.

The video is rich with Sonic references – and the Blue Blur himself even appears, running at ultra-high speed, crashing through walls and playing pranks in true Sonic fashion. It's a must-see video for Sonic fans, of course, and for music fans as well.
