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

Big fishes at Emerald Coast…

Senoue: I received the comments—“Sealike” and “Beach feeling”…—from all members who had been let to listen to this music during demo, but does such atmosphere appear?

Tokoi: The Trinity’s slide guitar had really produced the image characterized by southern countries for this music, so it is a piece that imaged the sea for me as well. It is the best match for Big’s fishing scene.

Senoue: But it’s also scary that there are fish robots near such resort, isn’t it?
