No, but it sucks, boys, if we want to show our admiration to her, it's out time to shine. we must to know everygame she has worked on, then put them in her page, and case solved.

Well, as mentioned in the blog post, there's already this guy's Wikipedia page about her (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Prince_of_Darkness/Kinuyo_Yamashita), which has a pretty extensive list.

Wikipedia can be so ridiculously anal sometimes. ~_~

Yes, Wikipedia is run by obnoxiously xenophobic Western nerds who find absolutely every shred of Star Wars material to be credible, but will randomly delete articles concerning major animu / vidja properties and personalities without warning for being "unnotable."

This has been known since the Gundam debacle of 2004.

oh and holy crap I didn't know she worked on the Power Rangers SNES soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyS4hk-jnh4).

I used to have her as a friend on my Myspace page before I deleted it, and she's an extraoridinarily nice person. She even left a very nice comment on my page, and was always looking for work on her status updates. She needs to be recognized!

I found this hilarious as well. I pointed out in my article on it that there's a damn article about Ada Wong on there.

I really don't see the point of having to be "officially" recognized by the so-called "mainstream" industry in order for someone to be honored for their work. I my opinion there is only one mainstream: US! Us fans ARE the mainstream and it is through us that things should be set into proper prespective. I think this person should be recognized for her work. It was the first Castlevania game she worked on so she should be honored for her contrabutions to it.

She's found work as of late.
I believe she's got some sound effects project she's working on.
She also has done the music for "Walk it Out" as of late.  I think that's a Konami fitness Wii game in JPN (maybe USA too?).

So no worries, she's got work. :)

I have yet to play Mega Man X3. I hear the music is pretty boss. Except I'm unsure if she did the SNES or PSX score—apparently the latter kinda stinks.

She did the SNES score for that.

By the way, if you guys would like me to ask her some questions (I'm in the process of asking her for a live interview with me on behalf of the Castlevania Dungeon), feel free to post them.

If she gives me the OK I can talk to her one of these upcoming weekends.

In regards to Mega Man X3 you're not missing much there Abnormal Freak. I find that MMX2 had some better tracks then X3 and MMX had an even better soundtrack then either X2 or X3. I have both the SNES port and the PS2 version on my MMX collection for the PS2. I do find that some of the X3 tracks actually sound better through the PS2 version then on the SNES. But again, you're not missing much.
