They were arranged by Takashi Takaomi (高生 隆嗣), based on compositions by Hirokazu Ando and Jun Ishikawa, with lyrics by Masumi Yanagawa (柳川真寿美).

Trivia

• The eight vocal tracks are in stereo, while the NES tracks are in mono, as the system did not support stereo output.
• The name of the Star Rod Magical Orchestra is a play on Yellow Magic Orchestra, a Japanese synth-pop supergroup that was hugely popular and influential in their home country; band member Ryuichi Sakamoto was additionally an influence on Kirby's Adventure lead composer Hirokazu Ando. The album released one year after a brief reunion by the band.
