Jun Senoue, Fumie Kumatani, and Kenichi Tokoi on Sonic Adventure Original Sound Track:

Mt. Red: a Symbol of Thrill …for Red Mountain

Senoue: This was the music that Tokoi made foremost after joining the project. It was also used during the production presentation and is quite an impressive music. It sounds to be the dog’s cry “Woof!!” as well, but actually, what’s it called? I like the guitar’s phrase which used the slide that appears in the middle.

Kumatani: Yes, yes! It’s “Woof!”, isn’t it~? I remember Tokoi’s face with the impression “Eh?” when someone said, “Is a dog barking?”

Tokoi: This was actually an expression of the cries of the natives who are probably on an island. The source is called “Hey!” due to the shouts of an African tribe. My nose ended up being runny after it was called “Woof!”
