This week, we’re honoured to be joined by the legendary Japanese composer Yoko Shimomura, the musical genius behind some of the most iconic video game soundtracks of all time including Street Fighter II, and the enchanting melodies of Kingdom Hearts. We explore her incredible career and the creative process behind these timeless scores. Recorded live at RetroMessa in Norway.
