Michiru Yamane - 20 minutes of her best music (Castlevania)

Michiru Yamane is the legendary composer of the Castlevania series. Let’s celebrate these beautiful songs with this 20 minute playlist :) Composer’s influence: Yamane feels she grew an interest in dark classical through her Bach studies in college. She has also drawn inspiration from other composers including Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin. In high school, Yamane listened to Kraftwerk, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Yellow Magic Orchestra, with the latter being considered a major influence on many Japanese game composers. Yamane has expressed enjoying music from other game composers, particularly Nobuo Uematsu, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yoko Kanno, and Motoi Sakuraba. She also explained that Tomb Raider and its sequel influenced the way she thought about sound design. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the songs. Showcase purpose only.
