Michiru Oshima started
her music career in animation in 1986, at age
25, on the televised feature Saint Elmo: Apostle
of Light.
It wasn't until nearly six year later, however,
that Oshima finally broke into the industry successfully
with assignments coming more regularly, doing
television programs before composing for films
in the mid-1990's. In total, the composer has
worked in various fields including doing soundtracks
for Super Nintendo and Playstation 2 games while
also arranging promotional music, such as for The
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. However,
Oshima gained fame from being the first female
composer attached to the long running Godzilla
series, and did the soundtracks for all three
of Masaki
Tezuka's Godzilla films. |
