Racing Lagoon (レーシングラグーン, Rēshingu Ragūn) is a 1999 video game developed and published by Square.
The game's music was composed by Noriko Matsueda as a jazz/techno fusion; she was joined by Takahito Eguchi as his first compositional role, and the soundtrack was released as an album.
[4] Racing Lagoon takes place in Yokohama, Japan, in 1999, and centers on several groups of street racers.
The story follows one of BLR's newly joined members, Sho Akasaki, who is just beginning his racing career.
The game is also noted for its linguistics, where monologues and dialogues (including loading screen quotes) are written in a poetic manner and often features words written in English; this accent, called Lagoon-go (ラグーン語), has been cited as a challenge in creating a fan translation for the game.
[7] In 2014, a Racing Lagoon event was held in Square Enix's mobile game Spirit Yankee Soul.
