Keiichi Suzuki’s Web Sites

Interesting, I’ll have to check it out when I get home (at school right now).

What other non-EarthBound related stuff has he done music for, besides the Game Boy Camera?

nice

Hirokazu Tanaka did the GB Camera.

Check Suzuki’s website and browse around in English. A few pages aren’t there but you can still see other stuff he’s worked on.

No. 9 is extremely Earthboundy, and man, it’s catchy.

When i read the post with a track from his album suzuki white report, i was intrigued. But that cd is darn impossible to find. :<

I can’t find anything on that site =_=

Oh my bad, I was gonna fact check that.

Is there any other way to get at the MySpace song? All it does for me is yell that I need to upgrade my Flash player, no matter how many times I install the new Flash player.

Aha, got it – cool! I’m sure Beethoven is thrilled, wherever he is.

I always wondered why Keiichi Suzuki didn’t compose the music for Mother 3…

The Mother 3 soundtrack composed by Shōgo Sakai was still pretty good, but it didn’t come close to the catchy quirkiness and vast musical diversity Mother 2 was known for.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/ufreyr/?v=sm4213974 – here is another song that I think was cowritten with Itoi, and I believe it is track 3 roughly translated as ‘You Are A Gun’ on Keiichi Suzukis solo album, “The Lost Suzuki Tapes”. This video has two versions of the song back to back, both of them are pretty sweet. If anyone wants the audio only I can happily oblige.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jRbiB3Zeg4 – here is a more recent song by Keiichi Suzuki on his latest solo album from 2008, “Captain Hate and First Mate Love”.

http://vgmdb.net/artist/364 – this site lists a bunch of soundtracks he was involved with. For those interested, the Mother soundtrack subsections list which songs he composed and which songs Hip Tanaka composed in the notes part at the bottom of each.

Unlimited Lumpia – theres an interview where Itoi explains why Shogo Sakai was given the duties of writing the music for Mother 3, mostly because he was more personally involved, which can be found here http://mother3.fobby.net/interview/m3int_02.html

Boy, that song on his Myspace really gives a Harvest Moon vibe.

Number 9 was the closing credits to tokyo godfathers

great movie but I thought Hirasawa Susumu did all the music for Tokyo Godfathers…

Well Awesome song

bigbangbabyalex: WOW! thanks for that link with “Kimi wa GAN na no da”, actually the first version is by Uchouten (Japanese new wave band), but the song was originally composed by Suzuki indeed, I’m not sure why it was first released by Uchouten, and then by Suzuki on 1993 (the Uchouten version was released in 1988).
Also, GAN means cancer in japanese, so it means “You have cancer”, the lyrics are really weird.

Sorry I wrongly used your name in my post above.

By the way, the lyrics for “kimi wa GAN na no da” were written by Itoi, music by Suzuki.
The lyrics are by far some of the strangest lyrics I’ve ever read. (“You have cancer, wonderfully you have cancer!”)
