Top 10 popular songs by Tsutomu Narita, a freelance composer known for his high-profile works
New World OrderNarita Tsutomu1rank/position
Granblue Fantasy is a game set in a fantastical world where you journey toward a legendary island.
When battling on islands floating in the sky, a fired-up soundtrack is essential.
New World Order, composed by Tsutomu Narita, is a rock number that plays during fights against the foes known as the Arcarum series.
The interplay of the grand orchestral sound is fantastic.
The male and female twin vocals boost the player’s excitement and give you the courage to take on formidable enemies.
It’s a song that makes you empathize with characters throwing themselves into fierce battles—and makes you want to dash forward yourself.
Prologue AShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu2rank/position
This is the BGM used in the first half of Xenoblade’s opening cinematic.
It’s crafted with a grand tone that matches the game’s world, so I imagine many listeners felt excited about what kind of journey was about to begin.
The orchestral sound has a powerful, almost Hollywood-like quality.
It’s a track that even people who haven’t played Xenoblade can enjoy.
Prologue BShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu3rank/position
This is the BGM that starts playing right after the opening battle scene ends.
After an intense fight against waves of seemingly endless enemies, this track kicks in and the game’s title appears.
I feel like there weren’t many games that revealed their titles this stylishly.
Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but that’s how memorable the opening sequence was.
Main themeShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu4rank/position
This is the piece that plays on Xenoblade’s title screen.
It was composed by Yoko Shimomura, a musician from Hyogo Prefecture.
It begins with a beautiful piano tone and builds more and more toward the latter half, conveying the grand scale of Xenoblade’s world.
Although it only plays once in the game, it serves as the BGM for an important event, so many of you may find it has left a lasting impression.
a battle we can’t back down fromShimomura Yoko / Narita Tsutomu5rank/position
This is the BGM that plays when Dunban, one of the main characters in Xenoblade, joins the party.
It only plays at that moment, but because of the intensity of the scene it leaves a strong impression and is one of the most popular tracks among fans.
It was composed by Yoko Shimomura and ACE+ (Kenji Hiramatsu, Tomori Kudo, and CHiCO).
Hearing it brings to mind the image of the Black Face alongside Dunban.
EpilogueShimomura Yoko,Narita Tsutomu6rank/position
It’s a single track that makes you want to say, “Ah, it’s really ending…” and moves you to tears.
If you’ve played the game, you might know the feeling—haven’t there been times when you think, “I don’t want this game to end!!”? This is the kind of song that makes you feel it was that good of a game.
Great works always come with great music, don’t they?
Dominion Black DragonNarita Tsutomu7rank/position
The BGM used in the battle against Dantalion, the boss of the in-game event “Persona 5: Thievery in Blue.” It’s a bold, Persona-style arrangement of “Wings of Black and Silver,” the Proto Bahamut battle theme, so if you’re familiar with that track, you’ll likely enjoy this even more.
The singer is the singer-songwriter Taro Kobayashi.
