Quote by the author speaks Russian: Если вы застали популярность дисков из 2000-х, то вам могли купить диск со всеми сериями первого сезона «Лунтика». В меню эпизодов перед выбором выпуска всегда играла грустная мелодия, которую сложно спутать с чем-то другим. Вот у нас был такой диск. Сейчас он не активен.

― Quote from a video from the YouTube channel "Ирбис".

• Hypothesis on the origin of music

The loop music may have been made by an unknown arranger based on the first half of the intro to the song 松田聖子「瑠璃色の地球」 (translated from Japanese) "Lapse-Colored Land" (lyricist Takashi Matsumoto / composer Natsumi Hirai / arrangement Satoshi Takebe) (release date June 1, 1986).

The origin and creation of the loop music is assumed and perceived to be foreign and primarily Japanese, since the arranger could make short loop compositions based on musical compositions and sell them. Most likely, the chronology of the creation of the loop music was as follows: the song was released in Japan, and then there, most likely, the arranger who heard it before made loop music from the first half of the song's intro and put it up for sale on web audio stocks or in his special album released in Japan and abroad. Then, via purchased music, the loop found its way into the menu of homemade DVDs starting in November 2006, the game "Tire Fitting" and the weather forecast screensaver of Channel 31 Chelyabinsk.
