Default Compile Sound Team (#4470)

Among VGM's five billion unsolved mysteries are the identities of a bunch of folks who composed for Compile. Sure, we have a good handle on a bunch of them, like Katsumi Tanaka and Toshiaki Sakoda, but there are still a lot of weird names in there like BA.M and Jolly-T and PRO SUGAR.

While trying to figure out who these guys are, I've run across this page a few times: http://ragospi.blog40.fc2.com/?m&no=188. It has a giant list of sound guys and games they worked on, along with aliases. The thing is that it's majorly unsourced and it's the only page that makes a lot of these artist-alias connections, so it's totally unclear to me how much of this is reliable. Some of the names listed even have question marks after them. But hey, I kind of feel like translating it for some reason.

So I'll group these into lists. What I choose as the header may not necessarily be the composer's real name. I'll put the questionable aliases I couldn't corroborate in red.


Masatomo Miyamoto
  • MYAMO (みゃあも / みゃーも)
  • MIYATO: Speculated.

Takeshi Santo
  • SHANTO (しゃんと): Also seen as SHANT. This is widely agreed to be Takeshi, but I've recently learned there's a Yasue Santo (山藤 靖江) who composed for a few Compile games and has more sound roles under her name than Takeshi does under his. "Take Shant" is credited for music in the MSX version of Golvellius, so it still seems a little more likely to me that Shant is Takeshi, not Yasue. UPDATE (2013-12-02): Both SHANTO and Yasue Santo are apparently credited for sound in Shin Maou Golvellius, so SHANTO should = Takeshi: http://www13.atwiki.jp/game_staff/pa...ml#id_1559c566.

SHIN-KUN
  • no aliases given

Atarashi (あたらし)
  • Atarashi Nikki (アタラシ日記): This seems pretty obvious, but it's marked with a question mark.
  • He's not listed on the page, but there's a Hideyuki Atarashi who's worked as a programmer on a few Sonic Team games, including Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary. This may be a coincidence.

Sydon? Inoue (井上 志純)
  • SYDN
  • The page doesn't list it, but "SYDON" is listed as a composer for Blazing Lazers. Sydon would be a pretty weird reading of 志純, but that's a pretty weird name itself.

Keiji Takeuchi (竹内 啓史)
  • TAKEUCHI

Toshiaki Sakoda
  • Mr. Sakoda (Mr.迫田)
  • Miss Sakoda (Miss迫田)
  • Mrs.SAKODA
  • Pro Golfer Sakoda (プロゴルファーさこだ)
  • T. Sakoda (てぃ・迫田)

Masanobu Tsukamoto
  • MATS: Confirmed on his homepage.
  • Motomi Wada (和田 素輝美): Ditto.
  • PIPPCKE MATS
  • MONK YUZO
  • T.M.: Speculative. These initials also fit Tsuyoshi Matsushima, and maybe even Tomoki Minami (see BA.M).

Einosuke Nagao
  • 失礼マン長尾 (Shitsurei Man Nagao?)
  • Akiyoshi Nagao (長尾 亮利): Real name, confirmed by correspondence.
  • がおう / がおー (Gaou?)

Tsuyoshi Matsushima
  • T. Matsushima (T.松嶋)
  • MATSUSHIMA
  • Tsuyoshi "PSG-FACTORY" Matsushima (松島"PSG-FACTORY"剛史)
  • マッチーーー (Macchiiii?)

BA.M
  • Tomonori Minami (南 智紀): Real name, confirmed by correspondence with Nobuaki Yamasaki.
  • Dr.G
  • Nobuo Ohbayashi (大林 信男) / OHBAYASHI: Another realish looking name. Reading of "Nobuo" is highly likely but I'm not sure where I got it from. "OHBAYASHI" appears in the credits of Puyo Puyo Tsu Ketteiban.

Toshie Oya (大矢知恵) (reading)
Satoshi Shimazaki
Katsumi Tanaka
  • MIGHTY.K: Based on this, Tanaka may also be "Mighty K-David" (and therefore also perhaps "David-1" in the credits of Cyber Knight). However, Mighty K-David is credited with guitar, an instrument I'm not sure Tanaka plays, here: http://vgmdb.net/album/2404.

Koji Onari
  • Superkenta (スーパーけん太 / スーパーけんた / すーぱーけん太)

Nobuaki Yamasaki
  • TAISHOW: Credited as "Nobuaki 'TAISHOW' Yamasaki" on this album: http://vgmdb.net/album/2404.
  • POLIGON JUNKKEY (ポリゴンジャンキー): Speculated.
  • Floppy Disco: Speculated. Yamasaki contributed to the "Floppy Disco Remix" on this album: http://vgmdb.net/album/8450. "Remixing" was credited solely to Katsumi Tanaka, though.

Kazuaki Nagai (永井 一明)
  • PRO SUGAR / PRO-SUGER (プロシュガー)

Osamu Ishikawa
Keita Haga
  • Qta Haga (芳賀 Q太)
  • KATE

Makoto Mano (真野 誠)
  • 他一名 (I don't even know what to do with this)

多和田吉宏 (reading unknown: Yoshihiro Tawada?)
  • Jolly T / Jolly-T: Speculated.

324
  • no aliases given

Seiichi Takamoto (Solidtune profile confirms he worked for Compile)
  • no aliases given

青木諒 (reading unknown: Ryo Aoki?)
  • No aliases are given, but she currently goes by Rondo Rikudo.

Junichi Yoshida
  • Zuniti

Daisuke Nagata
  • もっちり (Mocchiri?)

Kou Hayashi
  • Rink0 (りんこう): Rink0 is marked with a question mark, but りんこう isn't. It's pretty straightforward to read Hayashi's name as りんこう.

Shigeharu Imano
  • no aliases given

Fumiaki Kawashima (川嶋 文明)
  • トムヤム君 (Tomuyamu-kun?): Speculated.
