Hello, I am pleased to hear that you found my site useful and informative.

Afaik he contributed 6 tracks in total to that OST but I don't seem to be able to find them in your database.
It seems he also created a remix of the "アドバタイズ - Advertise" track from the Koihime Enbu OST which can be heard in this trailer:

I was completely unaware of his contributions to One Finger Death Punch (as well as another game called Devil Engine) until S.S.H. mentioned them a month or two ago. Both games were released early 2019 so that's quite a long time ago (in the case of OFDP's huge soundtrack, it may be possible he added his tracks some time later). In any case, I am examining both OSTs and they'll be added to my site soon.
In regards to Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai, if I remember correctly (I could be wrong), I think there was also a new character or new stage theme. Once I figure out exactly what's new, I'll also update my database.

I'm asking me this for a very long time, it's a very similar style but I'm still not sure if it's really from S.S.H. since there are more composers out there who used these synths.
Thanks in advance. |
That track does sound very similar to S.S.H.'s 2001~2002 music and he has arranged some Akumajou Dracula songs before. The guitar starting at 0:26 screams classic S.S.H. and the solo guitar shred also sounds like something he would do. If it was buried in other S.S.H. music, I would assume it is also his. But back in the early 2000s, a lot of the doujin game arrangers had a similar sound (e.g. synth guitars) so I would need more proof that it is actually a S.S.H. song. For example, I have never seen S.S.H. talk about the Game Boy Dracula Densetsu game or mention "Battle of the Holy" before.
Having said that, I did read through all the comments and one of the YouTube commenters claim that the true composer (whose website is no longer active) is someone called "Kuromame" and that he also arranged something from Super Robot Taisen.
I did some searches and I came across this:
https://a.hatena.ne.jp/mmk1632/.cgi?of=50&gid=68810
I think "hatena" is some sort of RSS website that automatically notifies you when a website you're watching is updated. In this case, it looks it keeps track of various doujin music websites, and one of them is a website called "OTOPON FLAPON" which has the inactive URL of
http://www.otofla.com and is owned by a 「素敵&クロマメ」(Suteki & Kuromame). One of the site updates is this: [08/12/14] ドラキュラ伝説 - Battle of the Holy as well as a few Super Robot Taisen tracks.
If we do a search for OTOPON FLAPON, we get the actual current and active website (albeit last updated 2013):
http://otofla.s370.xrea.com
And yes, one of the downloadable tracks is Battle of the Holy - the same from the YouTube link. We can finally confirm it is Kuromame's work, not S.S.H's.
The sound source for this track is the Yamaha MU500 which was released in 2000 so that explains why many doujin game music sounded similar back then. I can't remember if S.S.H. used this specific model but he has used the Yamaha MU2000 (released 1999).
One last funny thing is that Kuromame has similar taste in music to S.S.H.: Ace Combat, Thunderforce, Super Robot Taisen, Hyper Duel, Blast Wind, Masou Kishin, Megami Tensei. They even arranged the same tracks from those games.
