We always carry beautiful memories full of positive feelings with the first PlayStation logos, most of which were the PlayStation 1 logo and the sound of the music that accompanied it.
This sound, which has been engraved in our memories as instrumentalists for more than 25 years, was composed by the talented Japanese musician and producer Tohru Okada, who passed away at the age of 73 due to heart problems and insufficiencies that he had been suffering for years, which saddened many of his followers and players as well.
Japanese music producer and producer Tohru Okada is best known for his work in commercials, especially for Sony, appearing in numerous PlayStation commercials and several odd Crash Bandicoot ads during the 90s era.
Okada is also known as one of the founding members of the Japanese rock band called Moonriders, and is one of the founders of it, and became very famous, as he shared, as you can see below, the news of his death through his account on the Twitter platform.

Tell us about your experiences with the PlayStation 1, and does the initial sound still stir up those wonderful feelings and unforgettable memories within you to this day?
The PlayStation 1 was launched on the market more than 26 years ago, more specifically in 1993, when it was the first and true change to the world of 3D games saved on CDs. The device was widely distributed, so much so that it became one of the most widespread home appliances in the world, with sales of over 102 million units.
