♪ Prejoin Day 12: Composers



Nyaaaoo~ (I am also late mod. /blames pokemonoras)

We all have our favorite composer (or two. maybe 3) for anime and video games.
Please let me know you favorite composer and provide up to 5 links of your favorite pieces by them. You will get 1 card for each link and 2 cards for naming a composer.

As with all of the prejoin games and discussions, this game will close January 7th, 2015 (GMT-10).

Susumu Hirasawa is definitely way up there. He worked on all of Satoshi Kon's films and Paranoia Agent, which are some of my favorite anime features. His stuff is super weird but I think that's why I love it so much, and it really brings an extra depth to Kon's work.

The Girl In Byakkoya is used for the Paprika opening, which is awesome.

Parade is used during a parade scene, appropriately, in the same movie, and that's crazy weird and cool.

A Drop Filled With Memories is used at a bunch of different points, and I liked how it's sort of a slowed-down version of The Girl in Byakkoya.

Mima's Theme is from Perfect Blue, and it really captures how terrible and sinister everything is that entire movie, haha.

Dream Island Obsessional Park, the opening for Paranoia Agent, scared me because I had never seen any Kon stuff at the time Paranoia Agent was on Adult Swim, and I... of course had no idea what the hell was going on and was 15 at the time, so I didn't develop a taste for it yet. ALMOST TEN YEARS LATER, I'm falling all over it.
