Jelajahi sheet piano oleh Kazumi Totaka di Zen Virtual Piano. In the Iwata Asks interview Kazumi Totaka introduced himself as part of the Sound Group within the Software Development Department of Nintendo’s EAD, and as the director of Wii Music. Asked whether this was his first time as a game director, he answered that it was, and that the project was full of first times for him. He said Koji Kondo suddenly asked what he thought about Wii Music, and that although he had no experience as a director he agreed as if it were nothing, and only later noticed what he had got himself into. Agreeing to direct a whole game with offhand ease can be read as an easy yes to a large role that began as a passing question from Koji Kondo about Wii Music. Squareenixmusic.com says he made his debut with the Game Boy 3D action game X under the supervision of Hirokazu Tanaka, creating a dense action-packed score, and that he introduced a 19-note melody dubbed Totaka’s Song that has since appeared in most of his other scores. In 1996 he was transferred to Nintendo Entertainment & Development at the start of the Nintendo 64 era, where he scored Wave Race 64 in a jazz fusion style. In 1997 he created a very cheerful score for Yoshi’s Story and took on the role of a voice actor for the first time, providing different voices for each Yoshi. A recurring 19-note melody, beside a jazz fusion score for a jet-ski race, can be read as a signature motif set alongside a change of style on new hardware. Billboard says he has composed for the Animal Crossing series since 2001, and that he also appears in the game through his alter ego, the icon K.K. Slider. Squareenixmusic.com adds that Totaka was the inspiration for K.K. Slider’s caricature and the character’s Japanese name, Totakeke. A character in Animal Crossing drawn from its composer puts music and character in one world, with the composer’s name carried into the series itself. According to Squareenixmusic.com, development of Wii Music halted, and Kondo asked Totaka what he thought of the approach; having had negative experiences with other music games, Totaka said he would prefer a title where players could elaborate on the music and let themselves go rather than follow a score precisely. He convinced other game staff of this approach and was appointed director in January 2007, and he decided to widen the stylistic range of the game with genres including classical, popular and game music. Preferring elaboration over precise score-following, and widening the genres, look like design choices that leave more room for play than for exact reproduction.
