Noriyuki Iwadare (岩垂 徳行, Iwadare Noriyuki, born on April 28, 1964) is a Japanese video game composer. Some of his work include the Langrisser, Lunar, Grandia, and Ace Attorney series.

Biography

[edit]

Iwadare was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. He began to compose video game music after years of being involved with university bands. He began composing for Toaplan, arranging their arcade video game soundtracks for their Sega Mega Drive home console ports, notably the Mega Drive version of Zero Wing (1990), before composing for other companies such as Game Arts on their Lunar and Grandia series.[1][2]

The first award he won was the Best Game Music award, the Mega Drive/Genesis category for Lunar: The Silver Star in 1991. He also won the Best Game Music award in the Sega Saturn Music category for Grandia in 1997 and in the Dreamcast category for Grandia 2 in 2000. Iwadare first composed music for Tokyo Disney Resort, in addition to Japanese dance programs, television programs, and radio programs. He dreams to have orchestral arrangements of his musical works, which he himself has done several times, as with the Gyakuten Meets Orchestra arrangements (orchestral arrangements of the Ace Attorney series music).

He was a special guest at the 11th French Japan Expo that was held on July 2010 in Paris.[3]
