With just days to go before the release of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. on Steam, the official Virtua Fighter YouTube channel has dropped an exciting new video featuring Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, the famous “voice of SEGA.” In the video, Mitsuyoshi introduces “Burning Soul”, the game’s latest opening theme—a English remake of Ai Ha Tsuienai from Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown.
This updated anthem reflects Virtua Fighter’s mission to build a global community by uniting fans worldwide. Mitsuyoshi and his sound team have infused the song with a high-energy rock vibe, featuring powerful guitar riffs and a touch of jazz fusion to give it a fresh and distinctive twist.
Burning Soul is part of the Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. 30th Anniversary Edition Soundtrack Collection, which will also include 220 unreleased tracks spanning the series’ history. Don’t miss your chance to own this celebration of Virtua Fighter’s legacy when Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. launches on Steam on January 28, 2025. Pre-order now to get 20% off for a limited time!

One of the most lamentable things was the lack of something equivalent to the release of the 10th Annivery Virtua Fighter game – which recreated all the roster characters and stages in Sega Model 1 (VF1 models), I know this is all being included for the R.E.V.O edition as well as a ton of extra content including Sega consoles which will only be available with the pre-order edition and then the chance to get that content will be lost forever if you don’t pick it up now as soon as possible. But does anybody know if the classic stages from the first VF will also be included, or will it just be Jacky’s stage from VF1 again as it was for the last VF ShowDown Ultimate release, been trying to get this answer everywhere but the responses are generally mixed as best and uncertain any other time, nobody seems to have a clear idea on it.
I love how Mitsuyoshi has infused *Burning Soul* with rock and jazz fusion—it gives the track such a dynamic feel! It’s exciting to see how the *Virtua Fighter* series continues to innovate, not only in gameplay but in its music too.
Mitsuyoshi san always delivers the goods! DAYTONAAAAA!!!!!! Let’s go away!!! XD
On a side note: Please sega release a virtua fighter collection on modern platform’s! Or at least let hamster release it as part of there arcade archives series! Hey. A guy can dream can he?😁
