So what's the story behind this YouTube video her profile picture is taken from? She's a member of a band outside Nintendo?

Minegishi is there too playing drums. Don't know the story behind it.

I thought that looked like him! Didn't recognize anyone else though so I doubted it.

Seems like she was the main composer for Mario Kart 8. This Kotaku interview reveals specific songs the MK8 sound team did. Hopefully Nintendo uses her more in the future because I really enjoyed her songs for the game.

Asahi did the title theme and Sunshine Airport, and maybe Dolphin Shoals? She's one to watch.

Yeah, that list made it into the English version of the video too, but not the game, naturally.

She seems like a good composer and arranger based off her work on Mario Kart 8 though. Definitely someone to watch.

So both of them are alumni of the school?

I haven't seen either of them say so directly on Facebook or an interview or anything, but I'd presume so.

Hmm, just noticed that Shigetoshi Gohara is in both of these too playing sax, and he went to Todai, so it's not safe to presume that after all.
Found this info blurb about XCB's 13th performance, in 2013, on the site of Sophia's alumni association: http://www.sophiakai.gr.jp/news/others/2013041301.html. Toru Minegishi is listed as a full member of XCB who graduated in 1998 (this lines up well with his first works for Nintendo), while Asahi and Gohara are just listed as support members without graduation years. |

According to Kyoto Report (citing the ending credits, which apparently existed in the Global Test Punch demo), Asahi and Yasuaki Iwata were the composers of Arms.
