Yes she did. Also Super Mario RPG and the Mario & Luigi games.

y she has no eyelashes

She did one (1) song for the Mega Man series and it's the only really good one from Mega Man 5.

>chingchong Bing Bing wahoo women superior in every way
What else is new?

>Kingdom Hearts
WHEN YOU

face down ass up

You had to pick one of the songs she didn't compose,didn't you?

>japaneses knowing their shit
What else is new

Didn't she also make some of the music for Xenoblade Chronicles?

>She considers her Legend of Mana music to be her best and most definitive work

Talent AND taste!

And Final Fantasy XV. The OST is easily the best thing about that game.

Neat.

>Tragic Prince starts playing

Yeah, she's pretty damn medicore despite being very prolific. Unlike Uematsu or Mitsuda or Sakimoto or Sakaguchi, she isn't just mediocre today but always was run off the mill and generic as fuck.

Cool
Did she died?

>rationalist eastern culture devoid of feminism
>has women in all kinds of male-oriented fields like composition and directing and art
>christcucked wesern culture overcompensating with feminism
>women in these fields are nowhere to be found
Really makes you think. Can you name one (1) non-Japanese non-pop music composer of any kind?

I remember embarrassing a girl in school once because I had absolutely no idea that some girls literally penciled their eyebrows in and asked her if they were fake openly.

That's Michiru Yamane

Yes. Still salty they got that hack Sawano for X.

she represents the Triforce of Yokos. All famous, all musicians, all female, all japanese.

Yoko Ono
Yoko Shimomura
Yoko Kanno

One of these things is not like the other

By having Yoko Ono in there you're implying they're all trash

Karin Dreijer, Bjork, PJ Harvy, Carole King... Stupid fucking question, even if you are right about western society ironically being far more sexist (even through feminism) than many of the eastern ones are.

>Yoko Ono

How is Legend of Mana by the way?

I've only played the first two Seikens.

She made a handful and not a single highlight

She also did Live-a-Live and Super Mario RPG. Honestly might be my favorite video game composer ever this side of Nobuo Uematsu.

DLET THIS

Speaking of female Japanese game composers Tamayo Kawamoto was really good. She doesn't compose for video games anymore though.

youtube.com/watch?v=cXZeX1QgiWg

She's inferior compared to Yamane

also huge plagiarist

this documentary tells you why that is:
youtube.com/watch?v=p5LRdW8xw70

Japan does not really understand the concept of "originality" when it comes to art and culture. There is not a single note in Yoko Kanno's work that would not be stolen from somebody else, but that does not make her soundtracks any less impressive.
By the way, we do the same as well. The famous Hedwig Theme (the most famous song from Harry Potter) by Williams is literally two notes switched from Tchaikowski's Nut Cracker, and the legendary soundtrack of Conan The Barbarian can be called "Continental Greatest Classic Hits Collection", yet we celebrate them as brilliant works.

Originality is fucking overrated.

Thats yoko kanno

Fucking retard.

Same shit with comics, the whole industry is infested with the sjw/feminist types, yet one woman, not having to whine for the the men to give them an already established series practically accomplished more than all the women in western comics history combined.
Despite Japan supposedly being way worse for not having all they feminism bullshit ingrained into the culture, she is clearly superior to those types.

One of my favorite soundtracks is for Parasite Eve and that's literally just remixed bach.

Yeah, and Morrowind's theme (one of my personal all time favorites) is little more than a remake of Holst.
Who the fuck cares though? ESPECIALLY when it comes to soundtracks. The art of good soundtrack is the art of CONTEXT. I don't give a fuck where the music comes from, as long as it meaningfully enriches the context of the work proper.

There is a difference between plagiarism, being inspired by, being influenced by and coincidentally sounding like something. I'd say that Hedwig and Nutcracker theme falls in the coincidence category although it is well known that the original Star Wars had many tracks that were inspired by Four Seasons and more classical music.

But really, who cares unless it is blatant plagiarism it's just a normal thing to be inspired or influenced by something to create something new. You can't create in a vacuum, everything is an iteration of something else.

This is plagiarism: youtube.com/watch?v=3cL3zlGGKY0

yoko's one of my musical Queens, but don't shortchange 5 'cause you didn't like it.

You try writing over 3000 tracks and not have any sound like anything else or not copy some other song when you have a deadline.

I'm not quite willing to remember that Williams wasn't quite aware or intentional on the similarity with Nutcracker. In fact I'm about 99% sure that was entirely intentional and deliberate.
It does not strip any value from the work though.

Yeah, you're probably right, Willams has the musical knowledge to know how to use an influence correctly.

My favorite of his influences are these two

>non-pop
You fucking idiot.
I'm talking about supplemental media, moron. As in COMPOSERS FOR THINGS, aka what this goddamn fucking thread is about.

Outside of the fact that you are using the word "pop" composer wrong, and you did not at any point said anything about supplementarity: what is even the fucking point of moving your goal posts like this? I mean: Jesus Christ kid.

Her ffxv work was a bit disappointing outside of the versus tracks from years ago

Holy shit, I can't even find a strawman composer to refute this.

>Yoko Ono

No please no

Uh... Cecile Corbel made a really good Ghibli soundtrack that one time.

>what is even the fucking point of moving your goal posts like this?
Never moved them you god damned idiot. It's not my fucking fault you can't understand context.

Melodrama is heavily rooted in plagarism, and this is why nobody who plays music takes it seriously. But that's not its worse problem even; there's also the lack of dynamics, lack of originality, repetitive nature, constant use of samples and midi, lack of experimentation in recording, etc.
At the end of the day, OSTs are almost always loaded with melodrama, and thus completely lack any real merit. Just yesterday I had someone swear up-and-down how great the original Nier OST was, and he linked me a verse-chorus-verse-chorus cello and violin song, with one repeating cello arpeggio and three violin notes during the verses and a straight rip-off of a Mozart etudé for the chorus, all topped off by a very whiny Asian singer and compressed up-the-ass, completely squashing the dynamic range.

It is one of my greatest regrets that Miki Higashino couldn't really find work after her maternity leave because Japan is fucked up. Her Suikoden 1 and 2 soundtracks, especially two which is almost entirely her own minus some remixes, have very specific sound to them.

>Never moved them you god damned idiot.
Except for the part where you demanded any non-pop music composer, and when given those you suddenly demanded specifically a supplementary media composer instead? That is quite literally what "moving your goal posts" means.
But I'm really perplexed by the motivation to embarrass yourself like this to begin with? Did you not notice that I actually agreed with your general statement, just pointed out that that the example is disfunctional?
Oh by the way, you want a non-Japanese female soundtrack composer?

Lisa Gerard composed most of the soundtrack for the movie Gladiator.
Rachel Portman was the first female to win an Academy award for movie soundtrack.
Bjork, who I already mentioned, composed multiple soundtracks, including one of the fucking Moomin songs.
But I'm looking forward to see you move your fucking goalposts even further, probably demanding a VIDEOGAME SOUNDTRACK composer specifically, or something like that.

>probably demanding a VIDEOGAME SOUNDTRACK composer specifically, or something like that.

Well this is a board about videogames you simp

That is hardly the problem here now, is it?

That women ruined my life, because of her I'm on a constant search for a short hair cutie (they all end up being lesbians)

youtube.com/watch?v=bgYqv3UEnGc& Well I mean listen to this

She looks cute with the new haircut

Probably because they were also co-composed by other people, mostly Shota Nakama.

It's almost like soundtracks are made with a limited budget and time. Who'd have thought.

I have infinitely more respect to composers who can create good music with these restraints vs. some composers living off art grants and shitting out a mediocre symphony once every 8 years.

she's amazing

Granny Yoko!

In the West, women do not know how to create, only to destroy.

Most of Capcom's sound team in the late 80s/early 90s was made up of women.

>dat chin
>woman

And FFXV

which was shit OST wise

dude japan is full of fake ass composers

Shame the game was such shit

She really is talented. Hope she teaches a new generation.

>Yoko Ono
Absolute madman.

>women
>creating anything
don't make me laugh

Sup Forums needs to stop acting like only 11/10 and shit exists. The XV OST wasn'ther best, but if you actually think it was shit you need to listen to a lot more soundtracks.
All the tracks we heard up until like late 2014, which clearly came from the versus days are really good, only after that the OST took a weird turn, just like everything XV

They can create life

Cool.

Which did she make?

Was Satori Marsh Night one of them?

It's more like a beat-em-up pretending to be an rpg.
It has a motherfucker of an equipment crafting system that still induces nightmares to this very day.

Music is absolutely top-tier.

>thinking anyone hates asian female devs

She did the main theme, the mellow theme, the whole piece that plays throughout the prologue with Dunban up to the title screen, Colony 9 field and town theme, and their respective night versions, Unfinished Battle, and the epilogue theme.

>tfw you want to talk about awesome women in games but people like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian have poisoned the well

Sounds like you're part of the problem. I haven't seen these names on Sup Forums in months and now you're bringing it up out of nowhere.

One guy I knew got really angry when I started listing actual female developers and not glorified bloggers

>She did so much for videogames!
>More than Roberta Williams or Amy Hennig
>When had those two ever fight to end sexism!

because feminism encourages all women to be an useless piece of shit, however not all women are equal and if you have a girl outlier she's beaten into feminism instead of wharever she would develop into

I'd rather talk about awesome people without their gender or skintone being the primary thing we're talking about but this is the future the progressive left chose.

Why are jap women so based at making vidya music? And how do I marry one?

dat manami

>Sierra was the house Roberta and Ken Williams built on adventure games Roberta designed
>sold out in the late 90's and now they cruise the world in a yacht
youtube.com/watch?v=PqeIfNUQkTo

they did well for themselves because they made a product people wanted, not one that they were told they needed for social reasons

It's nice when the story ends with the old devs being rich, and not tricked by some big company

That’s just what they tell ugly guys to get them away

She's past her prime. Fell for the violins and pianos meme. Her 90s music was great, though.

>Can you name one (1) non-Japanese non-pop music composer of any kind?
Laura Shigihara
Take a hike retard, don't move the goalpost on your way out

>And how do I marry one?
by not being repulsive, fat, and unintelligent. also being fluent in nipponese

Ultra somniaaas
Ultra memoriaaaas

>Shigihara
What an aryan white anglo-saxon name

Be black

American.

It's a shame that Chainsaw Monday happened. Reading Ken's open letter to his staff makes me depressed everytime.

Isn't Radiant Historia's OST hers? That one was great

youtube.com/watch?v=oePKvP7qvmI

Don't mind me, just posting the best mid-boss theme ever.
