Alph Lyla (アルフ・ライラ), also known as Alfh Lyra wa Lyra or Alpha Lyla, was Capcom's "house band", composed of several Capcom musicians and sound designers. They disbanded in the late 1990s. The name derives from the katakana spelling of One Thousand and One Nights.
Members of the band included pianist Pii♪ (aka Yoko Shimomura), keyboardists Bunbun (aka Yasuaki Fujita) and Pakkun, guitarist Uppi (aka Kazushi Ueda), bassist WOODY, and drummer Tatsui, amongst others.
Some of their works appear on the following albums:
Here is the news from my little hideaway
My sweet Ivory Tower
I've sent you songs about so many thing
Mighty moondogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, streetside Romeos
Patricia's park and Anyway
Eternal youth and neverending summer days
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand...
In the event...
I am a stranger in a strange land
Welcome, stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, Carol, to Phantasy
Oh my God, I feel so alone
A million lightyears far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in Germany?
Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Disasters in the 20th Century
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand
