Composed by Setsuo Yamato, the 44-track digital soundtrack for Capcom's Rival Schools: United by Fate is streaming on Apple Music.

Designed by Hideaki Itsuno, the polygon-based fighting game debuted in the arcades in 1997 and received a home console port the following year for the Sony PlayStation. While largely separated from Street Fighter lore, the storyline features some crossovers.

Sakura Kasugano of Street Fighter Alpha 2 makes her way from Tokyo as a secret playable character in Rival Schools, investigating a series of kidnappings while aided by friends Hinata Wakaba and Natsu Ayuhara. More recently, protagonist Akira Kazama joined the fifth season of combatants in Street Fighter V.

Akira, Hinata and Natsu returned in the sequel Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 for arcades and Sega Dreamcast, also featuring a music score by Yamato, joined this time by Yuki Iwai and Etsuko Yoneda. The Project Justice music score is also streaming on Apple Music.
