Rita Sateiya plays when the player is wandering around the overworld of Rita Sateiya. The song was composed by Kenji Kawai, and arranged by various audio staff of the game developers.
Title
The song title comes from the Samsara Naga 1&2 Soundtracks album and is originally written in Japanese. The Japanese text is リタ・サテイヤ (Rita Sateiya). The unofficial English translation ROM calls it Rta Sathya.
Composition
The song begins with the alternating chord progressions of E♭ minor and C minor, with the two square channels playing in unison. The second square channel is detuned to gives a "chorus" sound. At 0:09 after repeating the riff with the chorus square channels, the first square channel takes on the lead, while the second square wave takes on a backing melody of its own, mirroring what is heard at the beginning, but an octave lower. The progression of chords is still kept the same before alternating with B and D♭ at 0:21. At 0:32, the chord progression changes to B D♭ E♭m, and D♭. This repeats three times, with each loop sounding similar to the last, except the final time where the lead holds a high D♭. At 0:53, the final part of the song plays, with a Cm and B♭m the first two times, ending with a BΔ7 and D♭ the last two times. The song then loops from the beginning.

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.
