Band called "Rock-Men"; consists of in-house composers who worked on Sengoku Basara 3 and the Monster Hunter series.

From the Super Mario Bros. theme to cover bands playing classic chiptunes using guitars and percussions, music has always been one of the most important elements in videogames. Given the fanfare for the soundtrack of the Mega Man series (also known as Rock Man in Japan), three composers from Capcom's sound team formed a band called "Rock-Men" and will be releasing an album called "We are Rock-Men!"

The three members that form "Rock-Men" are Masahiro Aoki (Sengoku Basara 3), Yasumasa Kitagawa (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars) and Mitsuhiko Takano (Monster Hunter series). The album will have 17 tracks that will cover the soundtrack of the original Mega Man, Mega Man X series, and Mega Man Legends. The tracks themselves will be a hybrid between rock and techno.

The album will be out on September 21 and will retail at 2,100 yen ($27) in Japan. For a full track list, check out Capcom's official post on the album.
