if you ever had the sneaking suspicion that Robo's theme in Chrono Trigger sounded a lot like Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, you're definitely not the only one. Earlier this year, Youtube user ImTakiNuSRS created this mashup of the two, and the results were pretty surprising.Pretty close, eh? Well anyway, the dudes over at Original Sound Version were so intrigued by this that they sought out Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda to ask if he'd been inspired by the Rick Astley song. Here's what they found out yesterday:

OSV: Mitsuda-san, please bear with me, as this is hard to explain even in English! There has been an Internet phenomenon in the United States called a "Rick Roll" where people send the following video to one another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

This is a big Internet prank or joke, and some game music fans have noticed how the background melody sounds similar to "Robo's Theme" from Chrono Trigger, calling "Robo's Theme" the first "Rick Roll." It's this big Internet joke. I was hoping you could comment about this, and about Rick Astley's song? Do you think the video is funny?

Mitsuda: It certainly is the first time I've seen this. I'm surprised! That's the first time I've heard of Rick Astley, and it's interesting that such a phenomenon is happening in a different country. Thank you for your time!

So that's that. Apparently not. And he probably thinks we're crazy. Still, great to know you now have lyrics to sing along with Robo's theme when you play through Chrono Trigger again on DS.
