The creator of PlayStation's iconic 'logo sound' has passed away.
For decades now, the PlayStation logo has been accompanied by an iconic jingle. It's a very simple sound, but anytime it appears in a commercial or trailer, fans immediately know that a PlayStation product will be featured. Composed by musician Tohru Okada, that sound will remain forever associated with the brand. Okada's musical legacy goes far beyond that simple jingle, as he also helped form the band Moonriders.
The Tweet from the Moonriders can be found embedded below. For those unfamiliar with the jingle, a video showcasing it can be found at the top of this page. — moonriders_net February 22, 2023 According to reporting from Japanese outlet Excite , Okada passed away on February 14th at the age of 73. His cause of death was reportedly heart failure.
What's truly amazing about Okada's jingle is just how enduring its proven, despite its simplicity. The logo sound's long association with the PlayStation brand is a testament to just how memorable it is. It takes a lot of skill and effort to create a jingle that becomes part of popular culture, and most of them end up fading into obscurity after a short period.
When PlayStation first entered the gaming industry, no one could have predicted how successful the brand would become. As PlayStation continues to find new fans throughout the world, it's a safe bet that Okada's logo sound will live on!
