Also, some arrangements of music from the original game sounds a lot like his style (very reminescent of the Metroid Prime Trilogy): https://youtu.be/KqJS98TpAgQ?t=700 https://youtu.be/KqJS98TpAgQ?t=1247 https://youtu.be/KqJS98TpAgQ?t=1374
So he may have arranged some music as well?? |
I ran these by a friend who knows both Metroid and Takeshi Abo music pretty well and he thinks they very plausibly sound like Abo, to the extent that he might've guessed Abo was the arranger if I hadn't told him ahead of time. They definitely do sound like they're intentionally invoking Metroid Prime sound design, though
(Honestly I might not even pick Kenji Yamamoto as the Metroid composer most likely to do these, like the last song in particular sounds much more to me like Minako Hamano than him)
