Biography

Yasunori Mitsuda (光田 康典 Mitsuda Yasunori, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese composer of video game music. He is best known for his work for developer Squaresoft (now Square Enix), having composed the scores for their role-playing games Chrono Trigger, its sequel Chrono Cross, and Xenogears. Chrono Trigger, his most enduring work, was composed with help from colleague 植松伸夫.

Other famous works of Mitsuda’s include Mario Party, the Shadow Hearts series, and Xenosaga, a spiritual successor to Xenogears.

    Chrono Cross OST and Kirite are among my favorite albums, Mitsuda is one of the very few composers where I like most tracks he compose besides possibly Yuki Kajiura

    So, any update about that mythical arranged album? I really enjoyed the orchestral version of Dimension Break from the Play for Japan charity album...
