I know, I know, this isn’t directly Sega related, but I still think it’s my duty to inform as many people as I can about this. You heard of ‘Play for Japan’, right? It’s an organisation formed by the videogame industry to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan back in March. Now, they have released a CD which can be found on iTunes and other places, so if you have ten bucks to spare, you can get yourself some great videogame music from the likes of Nobuo Uematsu and Akira Yamaoka! All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross of Japan, so it is a good deed, indeed! At the moment, the Album is available in the US, UK and Canada, but I can confirm that it’s available in Europe too! It’s also available in Amazon and the worldwide release for the other territories is going to be on July 15th! Check for the full list of tracks after the jump!
