Recently, legendary game composer Yoko Shimomura was awarded the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award - the highest honor the organization can award, which recognizes Yoko Shimomura's valuable contribution to the gaming industry.Taking this opportunity, SE official conducted an exclusive interview with Yoko Shimomura and brought up inside information and interesting stories about the creation of past game music.
When talking about the "King of Kingdoms" series, Yoko Shimomura admitted: "When the team was first told what type of music to create in the "King of Kingdoms" series, I was surprised - the style gap between the two was too big. I thought to myself, this is obviously a Disney game, but I want to add that style of music? This contrast surprised me very much."
Yoko Shimomura explained: "The Heart of Kingdom does contain a lot of soundtracks that fit the Disney worldviews. It is particularly difficult to create such tracks because I have to be faithful to the spirit of the original work and avoid simple reproduction. I did not deliberately emphasize my personal style in these tracks, but just kept asking myself, what kind of new songs can be recognized by fans as the representative of a Disney World? As a fan of this IP, is my current creation appropriate? For this reason, I have repeatedly explored the way of writing. Of course, I have watched a large number of Disney movies in advance and always looked at the work from the perspective of fans."
Regarding the soundtrack of the original world of the game, Yoko Shimomura said: "I will draw inspiration from the visual design built by the team. For example, Void Castle, I deliberately passed the game and strolled in the scene to feel the atmosphere, creating it entirely based on visual impressions."
Yoko Shimomura has confirmed that she will return to "Kingdom Hearts 4". She expressed her hope to "create game music as long as possible and never let down fans who are looking forward to the new work."Looking forward to Yoko Shimomura who will continue to bring more exciting soundtracks to players in "Kingdom Hearts 4", once again creating an immersive gaming music experience for players.
