Biography

Masafumi Takada (高田雅史) is the composer for the infamous videogame production studio, Grasshopper Manufacture.

He was first widely renowned for his work on the eccentric Capcom published title, Killer7. The music was a technical mix of emotions, terror, and revelations that fit the mood of the game shockingly well. About sixty tracks were created for each key part of the game. The double-disc soundtrack is only available in Japan, and can be imported.

His next work was Samurai Champloo, which recreated the bizarre style of the anime, added a splash of Killer 7 cool and layer upon layer of stark, original sounds and beats.

Mr. Takada has also provided the music for the Clover-developed, Capcom-published, “GOD HAND”. The soundtrack, “GOD TRACKS!” is available with the purchase of the Japanese version of the game.

He has since gone on to do several tracks for Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, as well as the soundtrack for Grasshopper Manufacture’s latest creation, No More Heroes.

    Quite good indeed. But not his best yet. Still hoping he join forces with Suda again.

    So far I've got 321 plays of Masafumi Takada in my LastFM library, and at least 50 of them were from today. His music is just great beyond words. :) Such a mind blowing mix, and it fits the mood of each game that it's in quite well.

    this just reminds me of what a mind-blowingly fantastic game Killer7 was.

    And yeah, I miss him in the NMH 2 soundtrack too. Jun Fukuda is great and all, but Takada san created the vibe for the game in the original so it's feels '' off '' with those darkside tracks.
