Masaharu Iwata returns to lead role for smartphone RPG
After a long period working in the shadows, Masaharu Iwata (Ogre Battle, Final Fantasy Tactics) will be returning to the forefront for a new title. It was announced last week that Iwata will serve as the music director for Memories of the Blue, a new action RPG for smartphones.
He composed tracks for the title alongside fellow Basiscape employees Azusa Chiba, Yoshimi Kudo, and Kazuki Higashihara. Other contributors included vocalist Mika Nakashima for the theme song and sound effects designer Masaaki Kaneko.
