Kinuyo Yamashita Holds Lecture In Osaka

Lovely Miss Kinuyo Yamashita is keeping herself busy with work these days. With plans to move overseas, countless video game scores to compose and hobby projects, she still found the time to give a lecture at Osaka Electo-Communication University earlier this month.

The lecture is obviously centered around video game development and music composition, which she no doubt has lots of interesting things to say about. Yamashita was responsible for the soundtracks for many famous games such as Castlevania, Power Blade and Esper Dream. She also mentored Yuji TECHNOuchi who also went onto video game fame with his music and recent activity with creating the Video Game Sound Creator Alliance. The lecture was said to have been quite interesting from those who attended, and we can only hope Yamashita will get the chance to do something similar in the US eventually.

Yamashita’s next project will be Gunhound for Windows, and is a spiritual successor to the Assault Suit series from Masaya. It’s scheduled for release on December 18 in Japan, and sometime later in 2010 for the rest of the world.
