Yoko Shimomura (下村 陽子 Shimomura Yōko, born October 19, 1967) is a Japanese … Read Full Bio ↴Yoko Shimomura (下村 陽子 Shimomura Yōko, born October 19, 1967) is a Japanese video game composer. She has been described as “the most famous female video game music composer in the world”. She has worked in the video game industry ever since graduating from the Osaka College of Music in 1988. From then until 1993, she worked for Capcom, where she composed wholly or in part the scores for 16 games, including Final Fight and Street Fighter II.
While working for Capcom, Shimomura contributed to the soundtracks of over 16 games, including the successful Street Fighter II, which she composed all but three pieces for. The first soundtrack she worked on at the company was for Samurai Sword in 1988. Final Fight, in 1989, was her first work to receive a separate soundtrack album release, on an album of music from several Capcom games. The first soundtrack album to exclusively feature her work came a year later for the soundtrack to Street Fighter II. While she began her tenure at Capcom working on games for video game consoles, by 1990 she had moved to the arcade game division. She was a member of the company's in-house band Alph Lyla, which played various Capcom game music, including pieces written by Shimomura. She performed live with the group on a few occasions, including playing piano during Alph Lyla's appearance at the 1992 Game Music Festival.
In 1993, Shimomura left Capcom to join another game company, Square (now Square Enix). She stated that the move was done because she was interested in writing "classical-style" music for fantasy role-playing games. While working for Capcom, she was in the arcade department and was unable to transfer to the console department to work on their role-playing video game series Breath of Fire, although she did contribute one track to the first game in the series. Her first project at the company was the score for the role-playing video game Live A Live in 1994. While she was working on the score to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars the following year, she was asked to join Noriko Matsueda on the music to the futuristic strategy RPG Front Mission. Although she was overworked doing both scores and it was not the genre that she was interested in, she found herself unable to refuse after her first attempt to do so unexpectedly happened in the presence of the president of Square, Tetsuo Mizuno. These games were followed by Tobal No. 1, the last score she worked on with another composer for a decade.
Over the next few years, she composed the soundtrack to several games, including Parasite Eve and Legend of Mana. Of all her compositions, Shimomura considers the soundtrack to Legend of Mana the one that best expresses herself and the soundtrack remains Shimomura’s personal favourite. Parasite Eve on the PlayStation had the first soundtrack by Shimomura that included a vocal song, as it was the first game she had written for running on a console system that had the sound capability for one. In 2002 she wrote the score for Kingdom Hearts, which she has said is the most “special” soundtrack to her, as well as a turning point in her career; she named the soundtracks to Street Fighter II and Super Mario RPG as the other two significant points in her life as a composer.
Kingdom Hearts was wildly successful, shipping more than four million copies worldwide; Shimomura’s music was frequently cited as one of the highlights of the game, and the title track has been ranked as the fourth-best role-playing game title track of all time. The soundtrack has led to two albums of piano arrangements. Kingdom Hearts was the last soundtrack that she worked on at Square. After the release of Kingdom Hearts in 2002, Shimomura left Square for maternity leave, and began work as a freelancer in 2003. She has built on the work she did while at Square; since leaving she has composed or is composing music for eleven Kingdom Hearts games and Nintendo’s Mario & Luigi series. She has also worked on many other projects, such as Heroes of Mana and various Premium Arrange albums. On February 10 and 11, 2014, Shimomura played piano at a retrospective 25th anniversary concert at Tokyo FM Hall. She performed songs from games such as Kingdom Hearts, Live a Live, and Street Fighter II. During the Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms performance from Super Mario RPG, Shimomura was joined onstage by fellow game composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who played the Irish bouzouki. She is currently working on the score for Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III.
Her works have gained a great deal of popularity, and have been performed in multiple video game music concerts, including one, Sinfonia Drammatica, that was focused half on her “greatest hits” album, Drammatica: The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura, and half on the music of a previous concert. Music from several of her games have been published as arranged albums and as piano scores.

[Multiple Heartless climb the fortress chasing after Sora & the others.]
Riku: There's gonna be no end to this.
Sora: Together, we can stop them!
[Riku smiles at Sora knowing they've handled far worse, then Pete and Maleficent appear in front of the two wielders.]
Maleficent: Begone from here! Leave these creatures to us!
Pete: But, uh, are you sure we can take 'em on our own?
Maleficent: Quite the contrary, we can. Or perhaps, you'd like to face them yourself?
[Pete thinks on taking on an army of Heartless without Maleficent by his side and makes up his mind.]
Pete: Frankly, my dear, I'd better RUN!
Maleficent: Off with you then!
[Pete runs into Mickey knowing he hasn't settled the score between the two ever since the past, but agrees to team up with him just this once.]
Pete: Now, listen here, pipsqueak. Opportunities don't come like this often, y'know.
[Maleficent notices Sora and the King and remembers the deal she made.]
Maleficent: Sora, Your Majesty, do not forget. When I'm through with these Heartless, this castle shall be mine!
[Pete makes up his mind standing near Maleficent's side knowing that the Heartless won't obey them, then he'll take him on.]
Pete: Bring 'em on!
Sora: Pete... Maleficent...
[Sora tries to stop them, but is interrupted by Mickey.]
Mickey: They're doing what their hearts command. We can't interfere.
[Sora follows Mickey and the others to the Altar of Naught where Xemnas is overlooking Kingdom Hearts.]
Pungey
(Scene excerpt from KINGDOM HEARTS dual destiny II.)
[As the instance of the Demon Tide veers toward Levon, he braces himself -- only to hear a familiar voice he'd heard not that long ago call out his name...]
???: Levon! Don't put out your own light...!
<'Courage' (this track) begins to play>
[Levon opens his eyes in surprise to find the Replica body of his own father's darkness barely holding back the flow of the Demon Tide. The fox tries to tell the Replica to stop, to leave while he still could, but Levon cannot bring himself to say nothing more than the being's name.]
Levon: ...V-Voleda!
[The member of the XIII-th Order attempting to pin down the two, Sphinxara, gives a disgusted expression, not unlike Larxene.]
Sphinxara: Ugh--! What does THIS darkness think it's doing!?
Voleda: Levon! What you said.. it was right!
What I am isn't important -- it's WHO I choose to be that is...!
[Voleda expulses twilight energy -- something never seen before by Levon -- which overpowers the flow of the Demon Tide, dispersing it temporarily.]
Voleda: The heart may be weak, and sometimes, it may even give in. But now I know--
No matter whether your heart is comprised of mostly darkness OR light...
There will always be a light burning inside.. that will NEVER go out!
[Sphinxara promptly sneers.]
Sphinxara: We'll see if you'll keep saying THAT when I pummel your insolent rear in, you stupid Replica...!
<Cue battle: VS Sphinxara II [player controlling Voleda]>

きっど
マレフィセント『さあ ここは私たちに任せてさっさと行くんだ！』
『ソラ！ 王様！ この貸しは大きいよ！
そうだね この城をもらおうかね！』

(Scene excerpt from KINGDOM HEARTS dual destiny II.)
[As the instance of the Demon Tide veers toward Levon, he braces himself -- only to hear a familiar voice he'd heard not that long ago call out his name...]
???: Levon! Don't put out your own light...!
<'Courage' (this track) begins to play>
[Levon opens his eyes in surprise to find the Replica body of his own father's darkness barely holding back the flow of the Demon Tide. The fox tries to tell the Replica to stop, to leave while he still could, but Levon cannot bring himself to say nothing more than the being's name.]
Levon: ...V-Voleda!
[The member of the XIII-th Order attempting to pin down the two, Sphinxara, gives a disgusted expression, not unlike Larxene.]
Sphinxara: Ugh--! What does THIS darkness think it's doing!?
Voleda: Levon! What you said.. it was right!
What I am isn't important -- it's WHO I choose to be that is...!
[Voleda expulses twilight energy -- something never seen before by Levon -- which overpowers the flow of the Demon Tide, dispersing it temporarily.]
Voleda: The heart may be weak, and sometimes, it may even give in. But now I know--
No matter whether your heart is comprised of mostly darkness OR light...
There will always be a light burning inside.. that will NEVER go out!
[Sphinxara promptly sneers.]
Sphinxara: We'll see if you'll keep saying THAT when I pummel your insolent rear in, you stupid Replica...!
<Cue battle: VS Sphinxara II [player controlling Voleda]>
