Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo featured two different opening songs. For the North American and PAL versions is a Chemical Brothers remix of the Manic Street Preachers song "Everything Must Go". The opening music for the Japanese version is Moon Over The Castle, composed by Masahiro Andoh; this music is used for the opening movie in the Japanese version of every Gran Turismo primary game to date (as well as the Asian version of Gran Turismo 4). The North American and PAL versions of the game featured a soundtrack composed of instrumentals and famous bands, whereas the Japanese version used the Gran Turismo Original Soundtrack, a completely original score.

Gran Turismo 2 further increased the number of tracks on-disc by separating the two gametypes, arcade and simulation, onto two discs. This allowed for more space to place audio.
