If you had used a pirated Windows XP system back then, you must have heard of "Tomato Garden".At that time, almost every computer had this version installed.This system image, which was very popular in China, has become the collective memory of countless people’s computer enlightenment period because of the unique switch music.The brisk melody when the computer is turned on and the gentle ending when it is turned off have accompanied an entire generation in their Internet cafe years and after-school time.

However, many people may not know that there is an interesting history behind these two songs.

According to research by netizens, the startup music is the save music of the Japanese game "Double Star Story" and is one of the masterpieces of the music producer Mr. Ishibashi Watari who unfortunately passed away in 2014.The familiar shutdown music comes from the PS classic "Fantasy Legend". It is the soundtrack "Contract" that plays when the player obtains valuable items. The composer is none other than the famous Japanese RPG craftsman Sakuraba Tide.

As for why "Tomato Garden" chose these two songs, no one can say for sure.Maybe the guy who silently made pirated images back then was a loyal fan of JRPG himself.As a result, countless computer users across the country accidentally turned on and off their computers while listening to JRPG music, which became the most unique collective memory of that era when piracy was prevalent.
