Working on Indie Games

I haven’t been involved in the production of many indie games, but I would love to do more. This kind of independent development contains what the creator wants to make to the fullest extent. Unlike the games that are made at a company with an eye on sales and the world at large, I feel that by freely creating what we want to express ourselves, we are creating something exciting and encountering something that we have never seen before.

Favorite Kinds of Projects

I am usually in charge of worlds where orchestral music is used, but I love both jazz-filled and cyberpunk atmospheres. So I want to challenge and enjoy creating various things without being bound by genres or styles.

Creative Philosophy

What I keep in mind when creating game music is that games are made by a team, and the music alone should not stand out. I try to create music that is in harmony with the wonderful world, gameplay, and characters.

What Makes Me Unique

I am experienced in any genre of music, and I will do my best to provide music that fits the game world you want!

Partnership with Scarlet Moon

I was only active in Japan. I think there are many good things about Japanese people, but I thought it would be fun to work with people and ideas from various countries, so we formed a partnership. I believe that different cultures will give birth to more ideas than I can imagine, and I hope that through Scarlet Moon, I will have the chance to encounter many wonderful works.
