Arranger Osamu Kasai, Masaaki Harada, Shinji Nakayama Programmer Unknown Released 1990-03-23 Length 2:32 BPM 128 Format NSF Loops No

The song plays after the cutscene of the hatchling meeting the protagonist (Rinne plays during that part) and the ending text and credits roll.

The song was most likely arranged by Osamu Kasai, Masaaki Harada, and/or Shinji Nakayama, as ACC, the developer, is credited for programming in the game's manual, while Kawai is credited for music, and the three have credits in other ACC titles.

The ACC audio team arranged Kenji Kawai's music in Sound Routine, their in-house sound driver, most likely in 6502 assembly machine code.
