Joining the company in 2002, Komiyama was originally involved with the Mega Man X series of games, replacing the departed Naoto Tanaka (aka Akemi Kimura) as sound director for Mega Man X7 (which featured a fusion of electric and rock elements) and X8 (more rock oriented). In addition to the change in genre, she is also known to utilize motifs; this is especially apparent in X8. She was also a sub composer for Command Mission, the series' RPG-spinoff, and composed promotional music for Glass Rose, working with Seiko Kobuchi in both instances.
After the Mega Man X series, Komiyama would then become a regular composer for the Monster Hunter series, beginning with its first portable entry. She is also noted for writing the lyrics for the series' vocal themes alongside Kaname Fujioka.
Komiyama left the company in 2010 and founded comymusic, where she works freelance. In 2013 she joined sound production company "Unique Note".

Yuko Komiyama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ਵਿਸਾਖ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਚੰਬਾ ਮੌਲਿਆ
ਜੇਠ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਲੂਆਂ ਲੂੰਹਦੀਆਂ
ਹਾੜ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾਂ, ਧੁੱਪਾਂ ਡਾਢੀਆਂ
ਸਾਵਣ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਲੱਗੀਆਂ ਝੜੀਆਂ
ਭਾਦਰੋਂ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਝੂਲੀਏ ਝੂਲਣਾ
ਅੱਸੂ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਪਿਤਰ ਮਨਾਵਣੇ
ਕੱਤੇ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਬਲਣ ਦੀਵਾਲੀਆਂ
ਮੱਘਰ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਲੇਫ ਰੰਗਾਵਣੇ
ਪੋਹ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਰਾਤਾਂ ਵੇ ਕਾਲੀਆਂ
ਮਾਘ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਲੋਹੜੀ ਮਨਾਵਣੀ
ਫੱਗਣ ਨਾ ਜਾਈਂ ਚੰਨਾ, ਰੁੱਤ ਸੁਹਾਵਣੀ
ਬਾਰਾਂ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਚੰਨਾ, ਰਲ ਮਿਲ ਖੇਡੀਏ
The lyrics of "Tales Spun Through Song" by Yuko Komiyama mourn and celebrate the passing of time through the lens of Punjabi culture. The refrain, "don't go, moon, in Chaitra, in Visakh," and so on through the months of the year, beseeches the passage of time not to leave the singer alone. Each month is associated with a different tradition or ritual, such as Diwali in the month of Kartik and Lohri in Magh, which serves to highlight the cyclical nature of time and how these traditions connect the past, present, and future.
In the second verse, the lyrics focus on the passing of family members and the need to honor ancestors through rituals like Pitru Manavane. The final verse returns to a more general reflection on the passage of time and the need to appreciate every moment, especially the times of celebration like Holi and the month of Phagun. The lyrics are written in a simple, almost childlike language that belies their deeper meaning and emotional power.

"Name: Velkhana
Title: Ice Dragon/Iceborne Wyvern
Average Length: 2596.05cm
Average Height: 760.17cm
Foot Measurements: 98cm
Order: Elder Dragon
Suborder: Ice Dragon
Family: Velkhana
Habitats: Hoarfrost Reach, All Locales in the New World, Guiding Lands"
"Thought to be a mere myth, Velkhana is a legendary Elder Dragon that was discovered during the Legiana Migration to the Hinterlands. It wasn't officially known until one was discovered while the commission was investigating this mysterious phenomenon."
"One of the reasons why Velkhana wasn't discovered until recently was from the habitats that it generally inhabits. Velkhana prefers to live in cold mountainous regions, or other secluded locales, which can be hard to navigate for most creatures, including humans."
"It has also been seen inhabiting the Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste, Rotten Vale, Coral Highlands, and, particularly, the Elder's Recess."
"Velkhana has massive wings, estimated to be about twenty meters long, to aid it in its flying. It's believed that another reason why Velkhana mainly lives in cold mountainous environments is that it rides the wind currents found there to aid in its flight."
"Despite the appearance of its scales, Velkhana doesn't have any feathers to keep itself warm in tundras. Similar to waterfowl, Velkhana circulates blood through countercurrent heat exchange, via its wings, to maintain its body temperature."
"While most Elder Dragons use their claws for combat, Velkhana rarely ever does. Similar to Barioth, Velkhana's claws primarily are used hooking into the snow and ice in its environment. With the help of these claws, Velkhana can't slip easily."
"While Kushala Daora molts its shell in colder regions, Velkhana goes to volcanic regions to do so. One might think those blue parts on its body are scales, but in reality, that's a special kind of ore that Velkhana adheres to its body."
"Velkhana's power comes from this ore that it adheres to its body, and it attaches this ore to itself to control the supercooled water inside of its body. The more bluish the Velkhana, the stronger the individual is."
"Velkhana can manipulate the cold. It produces "supercooled water" inside of its body and breathes it out of its mouth. This water is below zero yet isn't frozen, but freezes rapidly the moment it comes in contact with an object, making it an effective weapon for Velkhana."
"As Velkhana fights, it'll secrete some of the water out of its skin and it'll become a white mist that floats around the area. If one of Velkhana's beams come in contact with the mist, it'll create ice."
"Depending on where the mist is, Velkhana can form ice walls, making it harder for other creatures to maneuver through an area, and even cause large blocks of ice to fall out of the sky onto enemies."
"Besides using its icy breath, Velkhana also mainly uses its spear-like tail as a weapon that it savagely stabs its enemies with. If its tail is sliced off in combat, it'll create a new one out of ice to continue its onslaught."
"When engaged in combat, Velkhana is known to immediately cover its body in ice by secreting and freezing its supercooled water on its body before taking on a threat.
Blue = The ore on body
Green = Supercooled water/ice that makes its armor"
"The ore that Velkhana uses is similar to volcanic glass, and Velkhana will usually nest within areas where this rare ore can be found like the Hoarfrost Reach. Recently, very little of it can be found in its native habitat, causing it to venture to the Elder's Recess."
"Velkhana can make this ore by rapidly cooling magma. Whenever it molts, it'll replace the old ore to revitalize itself."
"As a warning to any creatures that enter its territory, Velkhana is known to freeze any smaller monsters it encounters and leave their frozen corpses for other species to see."

New world hunter: Velkhana! Where are you? Show yourself!
Velkhana: A cold wind starts blowing You pretend to defend this world... to save it from the catastrophe... but you're just interfering with the natural equilibrium. Don't you see that yet? The earth quakes, the monsters fly away and new monsters come... all of this it's part of the natural circle of life!
New world hunter: Yes, you may be right... perhaps i'm interfering with the circle of life, in fact i don't doubt it, but i know which is my place in it.
Velkhana: No, you don't. You humans never knew which is your place in it.
New world hunter: And what about you?
Velkhana: Me?
New world hunter: Do you know which is your place in the circle of life?
Velkhana: Of course i know it.
New world hunter: So why are threatening the life of all the other monsters around you? Why are you frozing the continent, destroying innocent lives?
Velkhana: ...
New world hunter: Perhaps i'm just a greenhorn that still doesn't know which is his place, but what my eyes are seeing now it's an arrogant and unscrupulous dragon that wants to reign all over the others. The other dragons are not like this: they know their place and respect it... and if sometimes they make mistakes it's natural. It doesn't exist a perfect creature, so stop hiding behind this story of the equilibrium and fight your adversary!
Velkhana: Lands in front of the hunter So... it's a challenge what you seek... hunter.
@mynameaintvalstrax7131
Can we talk about how badass of a name "Splendiferous Silver Sovereign" is , I mean damn.....
@timestate9718
Exactly
@SoulBurstBlitz
I fully agree with your username, bud. Valfalk combines the words "valor" and "falcon," but what's a "strax"? Nothing, besides a subpart name for a dragon that is anything but.
Btw, what are your thoughts on Crimson Glow Valfalk? I haven't gotten that far in rise, but I feel disappointed they couldn't give it a cooler name.
@m_d_c_t
@SoulBurstBlitz "strax" is a deliberate corruption of "strix", which is a mythological bird of bad omens, most commonly a blood-and-flesh eating owl but occasionally other birds of prey and also vultures
@athos9293
@SoulBurstBlitz Bro calls Valstrax "Valfalk" 💀
@Mariawasnthere
@Athos
Wait i thought valfalk is its alternative name?
@Mr._Sherwood
