The NES version of Hillsfar lacks music during the dungeon-exploring segments, and as a result, this song goes unused. It plays much faster than the PC-9801 original.

The song was arranged to the NES by Yoshio Kobayashi, who sequenced the music on a PC-8001 mkII computer. It was programmed into sound code by the game's programmer, Kazuhisa Mitani.
