Nipponese people make fascinating music!

My favorite game artist is Yuzo Kushiro. He composed the score for Streets of Rage 1-3. My favorite song of his is "Never return alive". Is there any other good artist I should know about? Because I want to buy more video game soundtracks.

I'm sure you've heard of Nobuo Uematsu Motoi Sakuraba is one of my favourites too, having done stuff in Star Ocean games and most of the Tales of series, as well as others I suppose Kajiura Yuki could count as a good one too having done Xenosaga 2 (maybe others, can't remember off the top of my head), although she's done more anime soundtracks than game stuff

Yes, I have heard of Nobuo Uematsu, I like that composers music a lot. The others, I have never heard of before. I will have to sample their music. Thank you for replying to my thread and giving me your suggestions.
Oh, and I really like Masato Nakamura, who composed the soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Maybe try Jack Wall, Robyn Miller and Tim Larkin who have composed some incredibly fine soundtracks for the Myst series. There's also Jeremy Soule, who isn't too bad.

Perhaps you could also check out the composer for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross (Cross being one of the many that has inspired a lot of my work); Yasunori Mitsuda.

You could also check out OCRemix, as there's a lot of people who have done some pretty cool stuff.

Motoi Sakuraba is god. Star Ocean, Tales, Valkyrie Profile...

Also try Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono series), Koji Kondo (Zelda, Mario, and other Nintendo franchises), Hiroki Kikuta (earlier Seiken Densetsu/Mana games), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts series, Super Mario RPG, Legend of Mana), and Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics and other Ivalice Alliance games).
