Genuinely how is this the dame dude who did TWEWY and Crisis Core

*same

His contributions on the X soundtrack were amazing too

Hell iirc he worked on 2 as well.

true

did he?

I don't recaII seeing his name on the tracks for that game

Looked it up a long time ago and it said like "synthesized programmer" or sm

ohhh

that's Iike, he prpgrammed the compositions to the game's soundfont

aIso

there we go we found it the one KH3 boss track with a piano

hmmm gosh I wonder I WONDER WHO COMPOSED THIS ONE HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Ok so I just looked around?

Apparently she actually did about ¾ the tracks to BBS, at least half of 3D

The one where she did the least was 3 lmao

I don't think she has done a full soundtrack in years

Might be getting up there in age too

She's on most of the tracks credited as "music" but she's the acrual arranger on like half at most

3 does* make sense for her to have done the Ieast on *I suppose since 15 probabIy took up a Iot of her time....

but that game finished in 2016 and 3 was reIeased in 2019 so

🤷‍♂️

Well it's kinda weird then isn't it that at those KH concerts, they credit everyrhing to her? I mean they make a passing comment to the others like Takeharu- who apparently has worked with the series since year 3 or 4, and it's essentially treated as a celebration of her music so like

Why is it structured that way lmao

Many of the music is by Shimomura but lots of stuff she has done has been remixed/revised by other composers

I haven't had a chance to be at a KH concert but from what I gather they play the iconic stuff which is by her

So I guess it makes sense to just credit her

mm thats a fair point tbh

Yeah it's mostly a greatest hits- they do like "suites" of songs from each game but then they do some songs solo too

Like Desati, Vector, stuff like that

Yeah then I understand why she is credited there despite those being done by other people too

It would be nice if the other composers got more limelight tho

Especially cause they've been with Square for years- with just as wide of portfolios too

Hiiiii

Kh3 Sora does not look 15 he looks 9

nah the 9 year oId spot beIongs to ventus

not to say KH3 sora doesn’t taIk Iike a 9 year oId sometimes

He looks younger than in Kh2 tho
