Many people already know this, probably...

Q: Several soundtracks in the Silent Hill series ended up in Konami's rhythm-game series (Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution, Stepmania) such as "You're Not Here" from Silent Hill 3 and "Your Rain (Rage Mix)" from Silent Hill 4 -The Room-. However, there is one song that started off from a rhythm game, but was later included in a Silent Hill game. Which song is this?

REVEAL SPOILER: Answer

A: "In My Eyes" [youtube.com] by ~ric~ from Beatmania IIDX 5th Style. This song was first released in March 2001 for the Arcade version and later in August 2001 for the PS2 version. Several remixes have been released since then, most prominently, the Midihead Remix. This song is well-known to fans as the one that the Dog was listening to in Lakeview Hotel Observation Room in the Dog Ending of Silent Hill 2. ~ric~ is one of Akira Yamaoka's pseudonym. The song was also released under another pseudonym: riewo.

Lyrics (Romaji):

Lala~

Your eyes make me free
[dakiyose mitsumete]
Your eyes make me free
[mewo toji kanjite]

In my eyes
[kizuiteyo fukai yami no naka]
In your eyes
[hateshinai towa no yume miseteyo] (x2)

In my eyes (In your eyes)
Your eyes make me free

In my eyes (Your eyes make me free)
My eyes (In your eyes)

Your eyes make me free
