Topic: Were you aware the music composer for the first Castlevania game is such a babe?

[silvermoonlight]

sweet.
at least she cares to reply. So many people refuse to reply to fans, it's nice to see that she cares somewhat.

Apparently she did the soundtrack for Mega Man X3, but I dunno yet if that's the SNES or CD version.

It was probably the SNES version.

By CD version you mean ps-x, right?

The game also came out for Saturn and PC, so that's why I said CD version and not PSX. :o

Nice find!

Her slideshow says she did the music for Esper Dream too, another Konami FDS game. I never played it, was the music any good?

I played Esper Dream (IGA in fact mentions it one of his interviews). The music was standard for the era, nothing too special.

Congrats on finding one of our longtime friends from the original CV team. Wow. ;-;
Its fun to find out that maybe someday the team could come back together. Plus who knows, maybe she might "take back the night". I really miss her compositions in CV, its been so long.

I didn't know. So there's the face behind "Wicked Child", my all-time favorite Castlevania tune.

WOW! no clue she looks great for her age.

she could've been a hag and i'd still hit that, just for making the best music to fit the series . hell, i got the castlevania 1 victory theme as my cell ring tone.

I thought Kinuyo Yamashita is a male since the name is sounds a bit masculine to me :, she must be in early or mid 40s judging on her looks.

Indeed, she is an amazing composure; just listening to some of her new songs brings that "emotion" back again.
Even though her past work was done in a simple format, a noble hearted song can be remembered forever. =D
