Tenpei Sato (#608)

[Teioh]

It seems that there are a few albums where Tenpei Sato is credited together with a person named Strawberry Boy.

Red ~ The Adventurous Sequence
According to http://www.alchemics.co.jp/users/bandit/album/red.htm Tenpei Sato and Strawberry Boy composed the BGM.

Beast Dramatic Music Collection
According to http://www.alchemics.co.jp/users/bandit/album/beast.htm Tenpei Sato did the music with Strawberry Boy.

CAL ~ The Eternal Beautiful Girls
As we can see in the scans, also All Music Compose: Tenpei Sato with Strawberry Boy

http://gyusyabu.ddo.jp/MP3/1991/CAL2.html lists Strawberry Boy as sole composer for CAL II.

http://www.lt.sakura.ne.jp/~kawahagi...eview/cal.html goes as far as assuming Strawberry Boy is Tenpei Sato

I know Mirage SUPER ARRANGE VERSION also credits Strawberry Boy for the music, though I have no proof right now.

Hiroaki Sano lists Mirage2 in his works (http://www.swary.com/works), but I am now unsure if this game's music was included at all (no source either).

What I'm trying to say is there is a possibility that Strawberry Boy could be a pseudonym of Tenpei Sato.

I talk with Tenpei Sato quite often. I can ask for clarification.

[Don]

Tenpei tells me that it is an alias.

That's great news. Thanks for asking, it's nice to have it confirmed.

Birth year was previously 1968, but the AlsharK booklet says Showa 42, which is 1967.

cosmos1804 removed Sato's birthday a while back but again, it's printed in the AlsharK booklet.

Kawagoe, Saitama was previously on his site https://web.archive.org/web/20070210...of/profile.htm

I don't know which of you all posted this to the reddit AMA for D7's director but thank you--and hopefully it gets answered. I haven't been keeping up with Sato's recent activity but he is surely a "never misses" composer, and being a staff composer for a niche developer has most of his credits as sole composer for an admirably long time. Might even be a record!
