💨 Abstract

Hiroshi Kawaguchi, the composer behind iconic video game soundtracks like OutRun and Space Harrier, retired from Sega at 60 but was immediately rehired. This is due to Japan's continuous employment system, allowing companies to keep staff past mandatory retirement age. Kawaguchi will continue working in his 'second form' and fans hope he'll create music for new OutRun games or the OutRun movie in development.
