The soundtrack to the game ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', like the previous games in the series, is mostly made up of in-game radio stations. These radio stations can be listened to when driving various vehicles in the game, or at the start menu. Radio stations in past ''Grand Theft Auto'' games have included licensed music, original music made specifically for the game, DJ chat, and spoof advertising. This game includes 19 in-game radio stations (20 in the PC edition) and over 360 tracks. Of the 19 stations, 16 are musical stations while the other 3 are talk radio. The soundtrack is expanded by purchasing two episodes of downloadable content, ''Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned'' and ''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony'', which each add over 50 songs and a talk radio program to the existing radio stations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned.

Exclusive Features: Soundtrack: Radio Station Updates )〕 The songs included with the downloadable content carry over to the compilation disc ''Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City'' but songs featured originally in ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' do not. Instead there are three exclusive radio stations featuring 48 songs not available for the original game. The radio stations play songs in a random order and will still start at a random point whenever the player enters a vehicle. The radio station that is on when the player enters a vehicle is based on the type of vehicle the player enters. Along with the in-game radio stations, other credited music is heard exclusively at certain points in the game. This includes the opening credits sequence and when walking through the interiors of certain buildings in the game. Michael Hunter composed and produced the theme song called Soviet Connection and incidental music for the original game. As part of a partnership between Rockstar Games and Amazon.com, most of the music heard on the in-game radio stations is available for download through the Amazon MP3 digital music store. Beginning with the release of ''The Lost and Damned'', Rockstar's soundtrack sales partner is the iTunes Store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Rockstar switching GTA IV music partnership from Amazon to iTunes. )〕 == Production == Like previous games in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series, ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' features a soundtrack that can be heard through radio stations while the player is in a vehicle. Liberty City is serviced by 19 radio stations, three of which are talk radio stations. The other stations feature music from a large range of genres, including tracks from Genesis, David Bowie, Bob Marley, The Who, Queen, Kanye West and Elton John. ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' uses a similar music system to that of ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' (2004). In other games in the series, each radio station was essentially a single looped sound file, playing the same songs, announcements and advertisements in the same order each time. With the radio stations in ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', each sound file is held separately, and sequenced randomly, allowing songs to be played in different orders, announcements to songs to be different each time, and plot events to be mentioned on the stations. Certain songs are also edited to incorporate references to the fictional Liberty City. A variety of real celebrities provide voices for the radio DJs in the game, including fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, musicians Iggy Pop, Femi Kuti,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 IF99 official website )〕 Jimmy Gestapo〔(【引用サイトリンク】 L.C.H.C. official website )〕 and Ruslana,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Vladivostok FM official website )〕 and real-life radio talk show host Lazlow Jones. ''Saturday Night Live'' actors Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis appear on the liberal and conservative radio talk shows respectively, with Fred Armisen playing several guests on Lazlow's "Integrity 2.0". Numerous other comedians, including Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Rick Shapiro, and Robert Kelly, as well as radio hosts Opie & Anthony appeared on the radio and/or as characters in-game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
