Harumi Ueko (#1074)

[Kaleb.G]

I didn't know Harumi Ueko and Jimmy Weckl were the same person. How is this known?

治巳 can be read as "Jimi". Jimi Ueko -> Jimmy Weckl.

The Japanese language never ceases to amaze. Thanks.

This is the guy who's credited under "Sound Design" of Castlevania: Dracula X for SNES if anyone's wondering (I just added his name as it appears in the end credits to the name variations).

Hi this guy rules, here's what he's been up to recently

Left Konami on June 15, 2012, after 20+ years there

Formed a piano improv duo with Takao Kinoshita and posted a few videos

Been playing sax and piano/keyboard in a lot of clubs, frequently as part of Atsuki Watanabe's Dear Breeze Studio Band

Wrote two songs for Sega's rhythm game maimai GreeN that sound exactly like the stuff he's written for Konami's rhythm games

Provided music of some sort to Sega's arcade card game Code of Joker

Wrote some songs for Square-Enix's arcade game Gunslinger Stratos 2 (Soul Evolution [brace for bass], Contra, Magnetic Fighter, others?)

[dissident93]

yeah, all the games he was credited on during his time with Konami have awesome music. although, AFAIK, the only game he did by himself was Moai Kun, and that only has four songs.

[CHz]

He solely composed the Silent Scope series, which has some awesome music.

He also did all the music for these two games, which I've never heard.

[Blitz Lunar]

Also strongly suspect he wrote all of the music for the first SNES Goemon game, based on what he said in the booklet (with Uehara handling SFX and implementation.)

[XISMZERO]

Ueko was one of the early composers who worked alongside Hidenori Maezawa in the 80s.

It's very possible he could have been involved in the original TMNT (Gekikame Ninja Den) seeing as he did music for Cosmic Wars, which was done around the same time with musical similarities.

Even though the other composers are still mysterious and Jun Funahashi claimed to fame on a good chunk of tracks, it's not impossible to think Ueko did something in there.

Still waiting for the original TMNT or any Famicom/NES music to appear on a Konami compilation. Sunsoft/Clarice Disc made it happen by putting Batman on their compilations...

That Silent Scope track sounds like Hirokazu Ando and Norio Hanzawa collaborated together!

Jimmy Weckl has a note on Facebook that's just a dump of games he's worked on, so lawl let's see what we have here
