Default Full list of composers for Yuusha 30 Second (Half-Minute Hero sequel)?

We already knew that Mitsuda, Hamauzu, Sakuraba, Ito, and Shimomura would be contributors to the sequel.

Check out this preview video:

This seems to be a pretty comprehensive list of the sound staff for the game. I see Yoshino Aoki, which has me excited. Anyone care to comb through the other names? There seem to be several returning composers/sound units from the first game.

Kenji Ito
Yoko Shimomura
Yasunori Mitsuda
Masashi Hamauzu
Kumi Tanioka
Manabu Namiki
Masaharu Iwata
Yoshitaka Hirota
Michiko Naruke
Noriyuki Iwadare
Haruka Shimotsuki
Motoi Sakuraba
Hiroyuki Iwatsuki
Toshikazu Tanaka
Yoshino Aoki
Tetsuya Shibata
Hideki Asanaka [SHA-V]
Maiko Iuchi
Takaaki Nakahashi (中橋孝晃) (mystery guy, has worked on many platforms but doesn't name games, worked on Yuusha 30 as The Engines; SNK related?)
Takushi Hiyamuta [HIYA!]
Yasuo Yamate [TATE_NORIO]
YAMAPY_1
Yui Isshiki
Otomania [creator of the "Ievan Polkka" Miku Hatsune video]
The Engines [Yamapy (composer) + Fukui (direction, from Engines) + Toshikazu Tanaka (guitar) + others?]
BLACKART [Takashi Jinno/神野貴志 15 tracks, Satoshi Yamada/山田智志, Takeshi Toriumi/鳥海剛史 2 tracks, Hajime Fukuma?/福間創]


The official site has some samples, in the form of a "guess who" quiz (currently finished).

The list was revealed some time ago though. Weird SEMO and co didn't put it.


Compared with the first game these guys are missing:

Toshihiko Takamizawa
Yuzo Koshiro
Biei Morioka
Megumi Komagata
Minako Adachi
Hiromi Mizutani
Kenji Fujisawa
vistlip
Koji Hayama
Norihiko Hibino
Kakeru Ishihama

But who knows if maybe they'll be in the final game (or maybe their budget ran out, lulz).

His name appears to be read as Takaaki Nakahashi, based on this Twitter account which looks pretty official: http://twitter.com/jeuxd_nakahashi

Based on the Quiz 2 on the website, Masaharu Iwata is also involved on this project (he's song 2 on quiz 2)

After listening to most of the tracks I must say it really sounds awesome! The composers contribute their best to the score! Each song is different and unique with fingerprints from each composer, if it's Sakuraba with his awesome violin/rock combi, Mitsuda with a excellent ethnic battle theme in the veins of Shadow Hearts II or Hirota, which combines these two styles into one chaotic battle fusion. Also there's a lot of other styles such as gothic-techno (Namiki), synth-rock (Iwadare or Ito), epic orchestral music (Hamauzu or Iwata), it never gets dull.

It really sounds true to the motto "Give all you have and contribute with your favorite style you can do best; as long sounds fun and verstaile"

I'm curious about the offical soundtrack release...

I doubt there will be an OST but there is a full, tagged sound test.
Also this interview.

Good find Dag. Interesting information. I wonder what made the first game so special it got an OST release. Did the sequel underperform somehow? Oh well...
