Yasunori Mitsuda (光田 康典 Mitsuda Yasunori?, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese video game composer, sound programmer, and musician. He is best known for his work with composing video games such as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Shadow Hearts, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht, and Mario Party. He has released an original celtic/vocal album titled Kirite, based on a story written by Masato Kato, writer of Chrono Trigger & Cross. He also recently released Xenogears: MYTH, an orchestral arrangement album. Yasunori Mitsuda's music often show Celtic, Indian, Caribbean and East Asian influences. The strong Celtic influences are particularly evident in his soundtrack for Chrono Cross in songs such as "Another Termina" and "Dragon God" as well as in his Xenogears arranged album, Creid. Mitsuda's style is difficult to pigeonhole, however, since he is able to compose music in several different styles depending on the demands of the project. For example, the Chrono Cross track "Chronomantic" sounds Caribbean, while the song "The Great Sneff's Troupe" from that same soundtrack is East Asian in flavor. A number of his other compositions show strong Indian influence, such as the Chrono Trigger tracks "Corridor of Time" and "Schala's Theme" and the Chrono Cross tracks "Time's Grasslands", and "Time's Scar" for example. Mitsuda's music translates well to jazz, as well. The album The Brink of Time consists of several arrangements of his Chrono Trig
