Michiko Naruke

Developer BIO

Michiko Naruke (jp: なるけみちこ) is a video game music composer, well-known for her work in the Wild ARMs series.

She used to work for Telenet_Japan and Riot, but many people who worked for these two companies left, and along with Naruke, later started working for Media.Vision. Michiko Naruke is also known as Hassy, which is the name she used while working under the "@MIDI" project with Motoi Sakuraba and many other composers from Telenet_Japan. She has composed music for games outside of the Wild ARMs series, such as Psycho Dream and Tenshi no Uta. She has made a number of songs for Media.Vision's Wild ARMs series. Her compositions in the Wild ARMs series include her signature whistling parts, whistled by Naoki Takao.

Naruke is also a fan of Gingaman. Two possible musical influences on her are Jerry Goldsmith and Bach, which she has memorial items of both composers (as seen in Wild ARMs: Piece of Tears scorebook).
