Hideki Naganuma is a Japanese music composer who primarily does work for video game soundtracks. His music is usually defined as 'Composed in the J-Pop genre' and this implicitly requires mixing Japanese techno, funk, soul, and hip-hop elements to create a very unique and vivid sound. He is most famous for his work on the soundtrack of the Sega Dreamcast's Jet Set Radio and its Xbox sequel, Jet Set Radio Future. Hideki Naganuma uses not only samples from the genres listed above - in the song "Grace And Glory" from the Jet Set Radio games he uses an opera sample. The official Jet Set Radio soundtrack, as well as the official Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack, includes all of his songs and several others. Working alongside the same companies that created Jet Set Radio Future he contributed the entire soundtrack to SEGA's arcade skateboarding game, Ollie King. After a few years with his work absent from SEGA games, he finally returned in the SEGA production Sonic Rush for the Nintendo DS. A year later, he made a remix of Captain Straydum's "Fuusen Gum" for the anime Gintama. That same year, he composed the music for Air Gear under the alias of skankfunk. He would compose under this alias for most of his later works. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
