Could this ending theme gave inspiration to shenmue theme?

Could this ending theme of fighters mega mix "Ending H" be the inspiration of the Iconic shenmue theme we all know and love?





Also one of my favorite fighting games on the sega saturn!

cool find. never heard this before. according to wiki its the same composer?

Shenmue was most likely being worked on at the time (the Saturn version), so it’s likely not a coincidence

Takenobu Mitsuyoshi worked on a bunch of VF games so I guess he wrote this track for Fighters Megamix and then it became the base for the Shenmue theme.

Cool find! Has some heavy similarities to the arranged version of the Shenmue theme (especially around the 04:13 mark):
