Soichi Terada (寺田 創一 Terada Soichi, born March 19, 1965, in Tokyo, Japan), is a Japanese composer most known for his work in the Ape Escape series.
He majored in computer science and electric organ at the University of Electro-Communications. After graduating in 1989, he formed the record label "Far East Recording". This led him to begin doing remixes for artists such as Nami Shimada and Akiko Kanazawa. His first major solo project was composing the score to the Japanese drama Psychometrer Eiji.[1] His first video game soundtrack was the score to "Wangan Trial". A year later in 1999, he began doing work for the Ape Escape series, eventually doing seven games in the series.[2]
