For fans of Resident Evil: Director’s Cut (Biohazard in Japan) and Onimusha: Warlords, the musical scores accompanying the games are a highlight.<\/p>\n
The composer of this music,\u00a0Mamoru Samuragochi (50) established himself in Japan as a modern master – he is best known there for his Hiroshima Symphony which honours and memorialises victims of the 1945 atomic bomb attack..<\/p>\n
The media dubbed him as a Japanese Beethoven, due to his gradual hearing loss which began at age 17 and resulted in complete deafness by age 35.<\/p>\n
However, it has now been communicated by Samuragochi’s lawyer that he was not actually the composer of works created for more than 10 years, reports the Japan Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to Eurogamer<\/a>, Samuragochi is quoted by Japanese broadcaster NHK as saying he first hired the mystery aid to compose music for him in 1996 “because the ear condition got worse”.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve been told that there are certain circumstances that make it hard for the person (who composed the works) to come out in public, and Samuragochi has come to describe himself as the sole composer,” said Samuragochi’s lawyer.<\/p>\n In his client’s words, the lawyer said “[Samuragochi] says it is totally inexcusable and that he deeply regrets it . . . He is mentally distressed and not in a condition to properly express his own thoughts.”<\/p>\n Details on exactly which works were fraudulent, and to what extent, have not been revealed.<\/p>\n Ground Zeroes is very short and costs a lot of money<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Carmack explains why he left id Software<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Titanfall PC minimum requirements revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nMore gaming news<\/h3>\n
