SEGA has confirmed the first release for its new SEGA Music label will be a dedicated Sonic the Hedgehog 35th anniversary album titled Forever Fast – 35th Anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog.
The physical package is a two-disc collection that gathers 22 vocal themes spanning entries from Sonic Adventure through Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
SEGA will release the CD in Japan on June 24 for 3,500 yen, followed by a digital release on June 25.
Background and context
Sonic the Hedgehog debuted in 1991 on the SEGA Genesis (known outside Japan as the Mega Drive) and has since become a cross-platform franchise featured on consoles including the Nintendo Switch.
SEGA’s announcement positions Forever Fast as a broad retrospective of vocal tracks tied to key moments in the series, collected under the company’s newly announced SEGA Music imprint.
Album highlights and credits
Among the collection’s standout inclusions is a newly recorded version of “Escape From The City,” the iconic vocal theme originally associated with Sonic Adventure.
SEGA’s announcement makes clear this is a fresh recording that features vocalist Nathan Sharp.
In journalistic terms, SEGA stated that the SEGA Music label’s inaugural release will compile 22 vocal tracks across two discs and will include a newly recorded take on “Escape From The City” with Nathan Sharp as the featured singer.
Release details and availability
Forever Fast – 35th Anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog will be sold physically in Japan on June 24 for a retail price of 3,500 yen.
The digital edition follows on June 25.
SEGA has not provided additional international distribution dates in this announcement; purchasers in Japan will be able to buy the CD at retail and access the album digitally from the stated release day.
Why this matters
The release underscores SEGA’s continued marketing of its music and legacy IPs as part of anniversary programming.
For developers, publishers, and fans tracking franchise retrospectives, Forever Fast consolidates vocal themes from multiple Sonic titles and highlights SEGA’s effort to package legacy audio content under a new label.
For further information, fans should watch SEGA’s official channels and the SEGA Music announcements, and check regional digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop if the album is later offered on console-accessible music platforms.
