Verdegrand Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hello, I'm having a hard time finding out who composed certain tracks, or even finding out who was part of a composing team because I find different information, depending on where I look. I am specifically looking for the composers of the following tracks: Theme of Simon Belmont Death Fair (Castlevania Adventure) Beginning Vampire Killer Bloody Tears Here is what I have found so far from the information available at OCR: Theme of Simon Belmont: Masanori Adachi, Taro Kudou Death Fair: Hidehiro Funauchi, Kazuo Hanzawa, Shigeru Fukutake Beginning: Jun Funahashi, Yoshinori Sasaki, Yukie Morimoto Vampire Killer: Kinuyo Yamashita Bloody Tears: Kenichi Matsubara, S. Terashima In Wikipedias's Castlevania article, it says in regards to Bloody Tears: first composed by the team of Kenichi Matsubara, Masahiro Ikariko, Kazuhiko Uehara and T-San(What does the "T." stand for, does anyone know the name?)Regarding the other pieces, is it possible to say exactly who of the two or three names actually composed that one single track? I supposed the groups of names are just the names written in the credits for the entire sound programming. I mean, similarly to Chrono Trigger, where it is possible to exactly say whick tracks were composed by Uematsu and which ones by Mitsuda, would it be possible to do the same in regard to the Castlevania tracks? Many greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verdegrand Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hello, thanks for that link! There's a wholy legion of Castlevania CDs out there, wow. As for the composers, that link doesn't really help me, but on the contrary, intensifies the confusion. Let's take Castlevania III, for example. On this page: http://vgmdaily.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/8-bit-mondays-castlevania-iii-prayer-and-beginning-hidenori-maezawa/ it states the composer of 'Beginning' as one Hidenori Maezawa. On OCRemix, it states the composers as Jun Funahashi, Yoshinori Sasaki, Yukie Morimoto And on the link that you provided (e.g., here http://www.squareenixmusic.com/albums/d/draculabest1.shtml), it gives the production credits to: Hidenori Maezawa, Jun Funahashi, Yukie Morimoto which removes Yoshinori Sasaki from OCRemix's list and adds one Hidenori Maezawa. So it's very confusing. Is there someone in here who actually knows about the composers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 In Wikipedias's Castlevania article, it says in regards to Bloody Tears: first composed by the team of Kenichi Matsubara, Masahiro Ikariko, Kazuhiko Uehara and T-San (What does the "T." stand for, does anyone know the name?) Yeah, I wonder who that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yeah, I wonder who that is. Yuuki-chan's Papa, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A lot of your confusion probably comes from the fact that the early Castlevania games were not composed by any one person, but by an in-house team called the Konami KuKeiHa Club (not the arrangement band, but the composing team). Wiki it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaNoMore Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You could try and ask Shnabubula, he seems to have some knowlege of the matter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
