Arashi no Saxophone

Arashi no Saxophone (Saxophone Storm) is a name related to several songs that serve as theme to Iori Yagami.

While Esaka and Tears were created to mirror Kyo Kusanagi's music taste, Arashi no Saxophone was created to mirror Iori's music taste. All of these songs have a prominant use of the saxophone, as the name says.

Arashi no Saxophone
The first Arashi no Saxophone worked as theme for Iori Yagami, Billy Kane and Eiji Kisaragi, but the music director had Iori Yagami and their stage in mind while composing the music.

The song, as the name says, has a prominent use of the saxophone, but there's also a piano, a bass guitar and an electric in the background and there's also a very "jazzy and funky" drum.

The arranged version also has some vocals (mainly singing "Let me see you dance so far!), two piano solos and a flute solo, reminding the fast funk of the 70s.

Arashi no Saxophone 2
The second version of Arashi no Saxophone is basically a revamped version of the first one. The major differences are the bigger use of the electric guitar. This song has also been strongly associated by fans to Vice and Mature. This song was also used in The King of Fighters '98 and The King of Fighters 2002 Mixes Jazz, Funk and Hard Rock.

Cool JAM (Arashi no Saxophone 3)
The third version of Arashi no Saxophone, is titled "Cool Jam". Another major differences are the bigger use of the bass guitar (as Iori plays bass guitar in his band). The arranged version has more saxophone solo, now added an organ solo and some vocals. (Shout with joy and say "Let's see it!"), bass guitar was toned down a bit, but still have its own solos.
