Do u know this woman? No? Well it might surprise u to know that this woman had been around making video music for sum time now. Born October 19, 1967 in Japan, this woman's life has been filled with music. With musical scores for 17 games, including Street Fighter II and Final Fight, she has been given the title of "the most famous female video game composer in the world". From 1993 to 2002 she worked for Squaresoft(now Square Enix), where she composed for a further eight games, including the popular Mana and Kingdom Hearts games. Since then she has worked as a freelance composer, writing for over a dozen titles. Her works have gained a great deal of popularity, and have been performed in multiple video game music concerts, including one, Sinfonia Drammatica"greatest hits" album, and half on the music of a previous concert. Music from several of her games has been published as arranged albums and as piano scores.
U might be wondering by now, who this woman is. Well I'm getting to it. See, this woman has been given the position of chief composer at Square Enix............ ill say that again, this woman has been given the position of chief composer at SQUARE ENIX. Still lost? Ok, Square Enix recently lost its then-composer Masashi Hamauzu this year, and since the great Nobuo Uematsu had left before him, the company needed sumone with the balls to handle a certain franchise. One by the name of Final Fantasy versus 13. U can say that the music of this upcoming wallet eater has just fallen into the laps of Ms. Yoko Shimomura.
The above theme is set to be FF versus 13's main theme music, and I gotta say, it coaxes emotion from u. It's amazing. It delicious. It's, Yoko Shimomura. May have to upload more music from her soon if I keep getting emotions to grab the kleenex because of this chicks music!! U be the judge.
