More an interactive music disc than a game, this title revolves around guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei: re-edited clips, a rhythmic step sequencer, a photo gallery and interviews. You browse it to listen, play the rhythm and dig through the bonuses, with no goal to clear. Its brevity matches its audiovisual-showcase nature: the appeal is the mood and closeness to the artist, not a session to see through.

Tomoyasu Hotei - Stolen Song (PS1) price, value & rarity
An edition of Tomoyasu Hotei - Stolen Song shipped with a V-Pick plectrum in the guitarist's colours, a music program built around Tomoyasu Hotei's sound world. It is precisely this bundled object, the branded pick, that sets the edition apart and carries its value, well beyond a slim interactive offering. Desirability rests on this crossing of game and music memorabilia, sought by fans of the musician as much as by collectors of PlayStation curiosities.
