Star Trigon (#14553)

[fusoxide]

Another Namco game without a composer breakdown or OST release. That being said, let's try and piece something together. At the moment very few of these are confirmed but the original arcade stuff seems easy to speculate for. It seems to be mostly Jesahm's work, but with guest tracks from Satoru Kosaki, Hiroshi Okubo and Tetsukazu Nakanishi.

Background music:

• Attract - Jesahm (confirmed via Taiko no Tatsujin Original Soundtrack "Full Combo!" where it was re-arranged by Jesahm and specifically credits him for composition too)
• Mode Select / Congratulations / Total Ranking - Jesahm?
• Lesson / Staff Roll - Jesahm? (shares common instrumentation and jazzy feel with his presumed other tracks in the game - it seems that Jesahm used an XV-5080 for his tracks in the game)
• Mission BGM 1 - Satoru Kosaki? (the opening synth ostinato, CR-78 drums and beeps are very characteristic of his work from this era)
• Mission BGM 2 - Jesahm (see Title)
• Mission BGM 3 - Jesahm? (live drums, jazzy)
• Mission BGM 4 - Tetsukazu Nakanishi? (rather spacey and atmospheric; the little part with ascending notes is quite reminiscent of Portable from Kotoba no Puzzle: Mojipittan Daijiten)
• Final Mission BGM - Hiroshi Okubo? (similar in feel to his track DENKI GIRL and his other happy tracks in general)
• Bonus Mission - Satoru Kosaki? (first half has the same I-IV-V chord progression he used in Words-Words Magic from Kotoba no Puzzle: Mojipittan, beeps also remind me of Mahou o Kakete from iDOLM@STER. But honestly not as sure on this guess as I am with BGM 2)
• Challenge Mission - Jesahm? (same live drums as BGM 1, also more XV-5080 usage)
• Name Entry - Jesahm?

Jingles:

• Mission Completed - Jesahm?
• Mission Result - Jesahm?
• Bonus Mission Result - Satoru Kosaki? (shortened version of the bonus stage music)
• Total Result - Jesahm?
• Game Over - Jesahm?

Cutscene music:
Including the tracks above, there are also several new cutscene tracks. The bonus mission theme was also recreated, most likely because it's sequenced in the arcade game and Namco didn't have a recording of it. No idea who composed these; the PC and iOS versions were developed by Namco Networks based in America, and personally I'd assume they were outsourced. Titles from the game's music XML:
