Kinuyo Yamashita was born on 1965 December 31st, in Amagasaki, Hyogo, Japan. However, miraculously this 2 year science college accepted me!
But again, it's hard to know which tracks she did specifically.Whoops, this may be my second go through LMH's episodes, but I forgot Brent clarified who did the smaller pieces in the next episode. It was very hard in the beginning because I was the only one who had not taken Math III, which I had to study on my own to catch up. I believe that game has a very deep soundtrack with over 100 songs.Wow, I’m very impressed with the translation.It is a very interesting interview!Indeed, I had a duo called Honey Honey probably in the early 90s.
Very interesting..[…] Sound Version has a fascinating interview with Kinuyo Yamashita, composer of the original Castlevania game score. I played piano, sax occasionally, and did the background vocal as well. In fact, the game I'm currently playing through, Ghost Sweeper Mikami for the Super Famicom, is something she worked on. We’ll also be posting an interview with Kinuyo Yamashita (composer for the very first Castlevani), alongside the three other composers who attended the VGO Boston concert on October 7, 2012.
Through middle school and high school, my favorite subject was math.
Beautiful music, beatiful lady: Kinuyo Yamashita interview GMO - Kinuyo Yamashita Interview: Castlevania Composer Talking game music with composer Kinuyo Yamashita at MAGfest - Pixelitis The Legacy Music Hour - Episode 36: Kinuyo Yamashita
I have to agree she’s definitely the looker though. Audi, nice interviewing questions; I think you nailed it.I know precisely bupkiss about making music, but I always feel like I’ve learned something after reading one of these interviews.
Brent and Rob focus on famed Castlevania composer, Kinuyo Yamashita. She was credited under the pseudonym James Banana for her work on the Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game.
Additionally, the pseudonyms were also jokes, alluding to various horror books and films. We were gigging with some R&B and jazz cover tunes. (Sounds like they were all Yamashita's.)I love her works! […] Miss Kinuyo Yamashita is keeping herself busy with work these days. Until then, feel free to check out all of OSV’s previous Castlevania coverage, listed below! Special thanks to Kinuyo Yamashita for taking the time to do this interview and prepare her answers in English.
Kinuyo Yamashita (山下 絹代) is a renowned video game music composer formerly employed by Konami who now works freelance. The reason may be totally different in this case, considering we are talking about Japanese society. Though best known for her work on the Castlevania series, she contributed to two Capcom titles during the mid '90s despite going uncredited in both instances. Her best known soundtrack is Konami's Castlevania, which was also her debut work.
