Let's try and compile a list of the origin of The Way's music.
A+aeka - "Aeka Bojo" from Tenchi Muyo.
Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkCXLAiJVdYComment: I couldn't find anything EXACTLY like the midi, but this was closest.
A+ The Way - "Freedom" by DJ Bobo (Radio Version)
Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FenKVtzRr0IComment: Good to see 90s Switzerland was about as embarrassing as 80s America.
A-BFE - "Body Feels Exit" by Namie Amuro.
Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnSMlFpmAJ8Comment: Natch with 90s Japan, although I'm pretty sure the decade is irrelevant.
Abachjesu - "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" by Sebastian Bach
Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jl3cC4tEMComment: One of many versions. This version sounded closest to the midi without including some irritating children's choir.
Abuta - Song from Porco Rosso.
Link: N/A
Comment: I cannot for the life of me verify this. I got the entire freakin' OST and not one of the songs even sounds remotely close to this midi. I did find some Porco Rosso fansite that had this in a midi section, but it didn't help.
