The fifth and possibly most historically significant volume in the Soundtrack no Jumon series — this one archives the original Puyo Puyo and Nazo Puyo across PC-9801 and MSX2.

Organized by platform and game, each track tagged with its source — [Puyo Puyo (PC-9801)], likely followed by MSX2 and NES versions of the same compositions. Hearing the same Puyo Puyo themes through different sound chips reveals how Compile adapted their music across wildly different hardware capabilities.
Volume V completes the Soundtrack no Jumon project's mission of preserving every Madou Monogatari and Puyo Puyo composition across every platform. From Mega Drive FM synthesis to Game Gear PSG to PC-98 and MSX2, the complete audio history of Compile's magical universe has been archived.
This is preservation work that ensures these compositions survive beyond the hardware that originally played them.
