Final Fantasy XII composer Hitoshi Sakimoto announced today his intentions of branching out to score American games by hooking up with Four Bars Intertainment.
The firm, who has represented other composers such as Inon Zur (Fallout 3, Crysis), Jason Hayes (World of Warcraft), and Jack Wall (Myst) will now do the same for Sakimoto in regions outside of Japan.
“I’ve been wanting to explore international opportunities for quite a while now, and Im happy that we were able to create this business collaboration”, Sakimoto said. “I’m hoping that from this, I’ll be able to bring a new creativity to match these games, which can require a different approach, compared to Japanese based titles.”
“For many years, our composers have praised the music of Hitoshi Sakimoto”, says Bob Rice, CEO of Four Bars Intertainment. “We are all so very proud to now represent Hitoshi Sakimoto to the game companies in the United States, Europe and Canada.”
Sakimoto says he will continue to compose games and anime in Japan, in addition to continuing his role as president with Basiscape.
