Yuzo Koshiro: 古代祐三 (born December 12, 1967, in Tokyo, Japan) is one of the well-known faces of Japanese video game music. In the 1980s and 1990s, he created the melodies for productions such as the popular Sega: Mega Drive / Genesis titles The Revenge of Shinobi (with his name appearing on the title screen), Bare Knuckle (Streets of Rage) and The Story of Thor, following up with the score for the Super Nintendo game ActRaiser. His latest work includes compositions for the highly acclaimed games Shenmue and Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2. Koshiro is also partially responsible for composing the original Ys soundtrack for the popular series of roleplaying games. Unfortunately, Koshiro does not own the rights to any of his famous Ys compositions, and has indicated in interviews that he is bitter about that fact and finds their resulting international acclaim ironic.

debut album is a The Scheme. (musical composition with very high evaluation)

Ken Morioka and Maki Fujii of Soft Ballet participated in this as an-
sound reconstruction and remixes with this album. (The Scheme: Alfa Records version only)

BillSwansea, I agree, the SOR1 soundtrack is definitely better than the SOR2 soundtrack. I think SOR2 is a significantly better game. Behind Nobuo Uematsu, Yuzo is one of all the all time greats. Words can't express exactly how much I love his music. Check out the Wangan Midnight Maximum soundtrack if you haven't, its so good. His take on the M.Bison theme is absolutely phenomenal too. I had a dream I saw him DJ a couple of nights ago. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I was so gutted when I woke up.

@Hauatagune : I can understand why he works on that format, but I think would be able to offer so much more on superior hardware.

I actually would love to have this guy compose the music for a current home console game. The world always needs more talented composers as him.

This man needs to do some music on PS3/360 titles, his talents are wasted on puny DS games.
