Research materials

[snow_rock]

I'm posting this merely for storage of information. Will look into these in the future. What I will be putting here are internet research that I am doing now (just for the hell of it).

The granstream saga, which was rumored to be the 4th soul blazer, was proved to be disappointing. The music was not very good. The music composers are Masanori Hikichi, Miyoko Kobayashi, Takako Ochiai, Kohei Tanaka. The extra 2 composers are SABOTAGERS.

Miyoko Kobayashi, one of the music composers of Terranigma, composed for another game, Hermina and Culus ~Atelier Lilie - Another Story~.

He also was one of the composers for Langrisser (U.S.: Warsong) and Ys IV: Mask of the Sun.

I'm not sure if it is the same person, but there's another person by the same name who taught music.

The Koto Ensemble of Greater Vancouver (formerly the Vancouver-Steveston Koto-no-kai), an association of 30 women, was established in the late 1950s under the direction of Miyoko Kobayashi, who also taught koto (a 13-string oriental zither) 1967-8 at the University of British Columbia.

Also, I acquired a photo of her, though I'm not sure if it's the same composer of tn. She's the most bottom picture.

Masanori Hikichi, the evil twin of tn music. He was born in October 30, 1969.
He composed in Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (video game) - Sound Effects ,The Granstream Saga (video game) - Sound Effects, Tenchi souzou (video game) - Composer , Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (video game) - Sound Effects, Composer , EVO: Search for Eden (video game) - Sound.

From wikipedia:
Hikichi was born in Saitama Prefecture , Japan. At the age of 14, he watched the performance of some band on television, and that led him to become a musician. When he was in high school, he started to compose music for his band to perform. After high school, he attended music school. When he composes music, he feels like he can go to a different world. He would desire to compose music with guitarists since he cannot play the guitar.

This was actually summarized from a real interview which was posted on several sites some years ago. But now, I can't see the interview no matter where I look.


I'll be posting again soon if boredom creeps about.
