Default Yutaka Minobe (#553)

I found a picture of Minobe on Kimiko Nakagawa's blog, so I cropped Nakagawa out and uploaded it. It was the only picture of him I could find.

Shame that after 5DS (and partly ZeXal) nothing much came from him in terms of compositions anymore.

So much talent, mostly doing arrangements... *sigh*

I noticed that on the page for Skies of Arcadia Eternal Soundtrack, there are portraits of Kodama, Tanaka and Maeda but for Minobe it's just a picture of poppies, which often represents death. Could that mean he's dead? Or could it simply mean he didn't want a picture so they just used a random stock photo?

@drdevilfx

That is not very reassuring...

"Poppy Flowers"
Quote:
This association is seen in metaphor as the red petals of the poppy symbolize the blood of a sacrificed Christ [1]
Quote:
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death [2]
I'm not sure what to make of this...
47 is still quite young. oh man.

EDIT:
According to the facebook linked from vgmdb, his current "living in" city would (have) be(en) 'Nakano'
OOOr not... Tokyo after all ?
=> Shouldn't there have been an official statement regarding him if he really would've died ?
Can anyone check that ?

Maybe you two should read the text that's alongside the portrait, which clearly says he's working Delfi Sound, plus him commenting about how it has been 20 years since he worked on Skies.

Well I did imply I only checked the website, so I wouldn’t have known about what he said. I do admit I should’ve checked the booklet too, but chill.
