Junya Nakano (仲野 順也 Nakano Jun'ya), a composer who creates video game music, has worked for Square Enix for over five years.

His works include Treasure Conflix (1996), Another Mind (1998), and Dewprism a.k.a. Threads of Fate (1999). He has also collaborated on the soundtracks to Final Fantasy X (2001) (with Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu) and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) (with Masashi Hamauzu, and Takayuki Iwai & Yuki Iwai of Wavelink Zeal).

[edit] Style

Nakano has a very distinctive style, an aggressive ambience often used to weave ethereal and noble melodies with minimalistic undertones. His most significant solo work was Threads of Fate (or "Dewprism", in Japan), where he displays this style most strongly. The most acclaimed track on this album was "Passing Through the Forest".
