Browse piano sheets by Go Shiina on Zen Virtual Piano. Go Shiina has said that he was born in May 1974, that his parents taught the electronic organ from their house while he was growing up, that he learned a little back then, and that he balanced a little band involvement with the track and field team at his school. He has also said that after school he felt lucky to be given a job at all, having failed a lot of interviews before landing it. Music sitting beside track and field in his account of boyhood shows a composer who did not start out on music alone. He contributed to the Tales of series, doing the opening and ending themes for Tales of Fandom Vol. 2, rearranging one of his own tracks from Tales of Legendia for Tales of VS., arranging one of Mr. Sakuraba’s tracks from Tales of Destiny 2, and putting together five battle scene tracks for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2. Arranging one of Mr. Sakuraba’s tracks and rearranging one of his own shows how one series can be a shared musical house. Of one project he has said that at first he tried to fill Mr. Sakuraba’s shoes, then read the script and plans for the game and realized that it was different from previous works in the series. Trying at first to fill Mr. Sakuraba’s shoes and then reading the script and plans shows a composer checking his approach against the material. In 2010 he received the opportunity to create his first solo score in a long time, for the PSP’s God Eater. A first solo score in a long time marks a return to scoring on his own. He has said that for a rhythm game it is important to emphasize the breaks in the music rather than trying to make the track flow. Emphasising breaks in the music rather than its flow suggests a composer who shapes a track around what a game needs. According to VGMonline he reflected his versatility in deviations into ethnic, jazz, rock, electronic and J-Pop music, writing in any genre when motivated. Anime News Network lists him in the staff for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, including the music, the insert song composition, arrangement and performance of “Kamado Tanjiro no Uta” in episode 19, music performance on synthesizer for the Entertainment District Arc, and the theme song composition and arrangement of “Taiyō ga Noboranai Sekai” for the Infinity Castle film. Game scores and anime insert songs sit together in his credits, showing a range of work across games and anime.
