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).

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).
