Soundtrack cover

The Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. It was commercially released by King Records in December 22, 2004 under the catalog code KICA-1346~9 at the price of 3,990 yen.

The soundtrack features many signature composers of the Namco Sound Team, including Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Keiki Kobayashi and Hiroshi Okubo, while also introducing new assets, such as Junichi Nakatsuru, Katsuro Tajima and the ACE COMBAT 5 Chorus Team. It contains varied music genres, shifting between techno-orchestral compositions, electro-rock and fully orchestrated cutscene music, setting the mood for the game's plot. The Unsung War is notable for being the first game in history to involve the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as for being the first to include licensed music, featuring Puddle of Mudd's "Blurry", which is used as the game's title theme. The soundtrack as a whole took Namco 3 years of development, making it the largest and most expensive soundtrack in the company's history.
