Game developer “Sirius Entertainment” (CEO: Hwang Byeong-chan) announced today that Japanese game music composer Mitsuda Yasunori (光田 康典) would be in charge of sound for the 3D fantasy online game “Lime Odyssey (www.lime-on.co.kr),” which is currently under development by the company.

Mitsuda Yasunori started making a name for himself among gamers when he participated in Square’s “Chrono Trigger,” which ranked as the top dream project among video games, and its sequel “Chrono Cross.” He eventually cemented his status as a talented composer by providing overall supervision to the sound for Monolith Soft’s “XENOSAGA,” considered a masterpiece among many gamers even today, and the starting point of the series “XENOGEARS.” Currently, he is involved in various composing activities as CEO as well as a composer for game sound producer “PROCYON STUDIO.” As a result, he was ranked no. 2 among Japanese role-playing game music composers in 2008 by leading game media group “IGN.” 

Lime Odyssey’s sound -- which will be introduced in the future -- features the harmony of sentimental feelings and generous serving of aesthetics while giving the impression of restoring the fantasy world completely. In February 2008, Mr. Mitsuda started recording along with 76 members of the “Czech Philharmonic Orchestra” at the Dvorak hall of the Neo-Renaissance theater “Rudolfinum” in the Czech republic to perfect sound tracks with such feel. Since Mario Klemens who conducted the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra has participated in movies including animations such as “Princess Mononoke” and “Howl’s Moving Castle,” gamers can look forward to a high level of perfection as well as good understanding of the Lime Odyssey project, which falls under the same entertainment category.

Mr. Mitsuda explained that the resulting works are making smooth progress. “The sound of strings is really magnificent, and the performance that communicates a joyful feeling is very sweet. Even the brass was executed with precision; the Percussion does not interfere with the melodies of other instruments while producing a clear sound. They are clearly the world’s top orchestra,” he said. He felt coming all the way to Prague, Czech was worth it because he is able to record music that is a step more refined than other music, one that most conventional orchestra cannot express.
