We’ve been hearing a lot about Takayuki Nakamura lately. Earlier this month, we heard him talk about a variety of topics with other game composers at Noisycroak’s First Game Composer Roundtable Discussion where he was awarded the MVC (most valuable composer) award. Earlier in July, however, Patrick told us about his latest project, PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit, and we’ve been able to get a word in with Nakamura-san to talk more about the game’s music.
We were definitely surprised to see him working on this whimiscal WiiWare title after his heavy electronic work from the Lumines series, but it sounds as though he captured the essence of the game pretty well. We talk about the music he created for the game as well as his work on the Wii, his plans for his Brainstorm record label, and a recent album he worked on with some composers from Korea.
Check out what Takayuki Nakamura has to say after the jump. (more…)
