Yasuharu Takanashi burst onto the soundtrack scene at around the turn of the century, and has managed to develop a modest following since his debut. Originally coming from the band "634 Musashi", Takanashi demonstrates a variety of techniques in his composed work, ranging from more traditional and choir supported themes to more contemporary ones which feature heavy guitar and drum work that are more inline with his work for "634 Musashi". Takanashi has done numerous scores for video games, but is probably best known for his work on the Super Star God series and the Naruto Shippuuden series.
