He has covered songs from a variety of games and series, including Thunder Force, Tales of Phantasia, Super Robot Wars, Atlach=Nacha, Megami Tensei, Ragnarok Online, and Unreal Tournament. However, he is one of the few *doujin* artists who actually started working in the video game music industry. He did the soundtracks to games like Lost Child or Sixty Nine 2 and made official arrange albums for the Atelier Iris series. True to his influences, he tends to a guitar and synth-heavy sound in his music, which can be classified typically as instrumental metal; some of his songs occasionally include brief musical quotations of songs from renowned metal bands, primarily Iron Maiden. His medley of Castlevania songs, entitled 「悪魔城ドラキュラ~The Quest~」 (Akumajou Dracula~The Quest~) features a musical quotation of Iron Maiden’s The Trooper (timestamp 5:02). In another piece, Ys4`The Dawn of Ys, he re-arranges the song with Iron Maiden’s The Evil That Men Do. The official homepage for 埼玉最終兵器 can be found at [http://ssh.ne.jp/]. |
