1, Star Ocean Till the End of Time Original Soundtrack Vol. Another major company that has employed Sakuraba post-1995 was tri-Ace, created in protest to Namco's handling of Tales of Phantasia by the then Wolf Team members Yoshiharu Gotanda, Masaki Norimoto, and Joe Asanuma. No results were found for that selection. These scores provided quite a contrast to Koji Kondo's standard works on behalf of the Mario series, as they were often loosely rock-based, but still retained the upbeat atmosphere inherent to the series, quite a contrast to Sakuraba's brooding and dramatic symphonic arrangement of the "Super Mario Bros." theme, featured in 2004's Famicom 20th Anniversary Arrange Soundtracks. tri-Ace's recently announced Valkyrie Profile's prequel Silmeria will likely feature his work, the true successor to the Valkyrie Profile Original Soundtrack, likely rivalling Baten Kaitos II's score in terms of both the magnitude and expectancy. Though all pieces were composed by Sakuraba, ex-'Déjà vu' member Ken Ishita and drummer Takeo Shimoda joined Sakuraba in the performance. Following recording Gikyoku Onsou but prior to its release, Motoi Sakuraba made the biggest step of his career by joining the game company Wolf Team, which explains the origins of nearly all his major video game music works.

No original score was not initially released, with fans having to wait all the way till 2004 to purchase the soundtrack in beautifully remastered form; however, the arranged album and drama CD Star Ocean Perfect Sound Collection was released soon after the game became available and set precedent for the release of further scores to the highly successful series and also provided initial confirmation of viewpoint that is now shared almost universally: the Star Ocean series features some of Sakuraba's most dramatic and refined works to date.

The soundtrack to 2003's Tales of Symphonia represented a change in the series in that it was developed for Nintendo GameCube by Tales Studio's second internal team 'Team Symphonia', which baffled fans, a sudden and seemingly unprovoked foray back into the world of Nintendo, though Sakuraba and Tamura's score remained faithful to the series' style. Motoi Sakuraba, Mio Sakuraba: Motoi Sakuraba, Mio Sakuraba - STAR OCEAN Till the End of Time Arrange Album ‎ (CD, Album) Sony Music Distribution: KDSD-00006: Japan: 2003: このバージョンを出品 The first evidence of Sakuraba's involvement with the company came in 1996 with the Super Nintendo score for the Sci-Fi RPG Star Ocean. Perhaps one day the duo will have the same resources available as Shiina Masaru did for Tales of Legendia, which featured exuberent use of live performances. He is also known to be producing his second solo album, which he mentioned and provided a sample of on his personal web site, though it is unlikely to be finished soon though due to his heavy work schedule. The duo's most recent albums to the series, 2004's Tales of Rebirth Original Soundtrack and 2006's Tales of the Abyss Original Soundtrack, reflected considerable technological improvements, the latter being majorly streamed, allowing the composers to use their own audio equipment, doing wonders to the tracks' fidelity and timbres. Perhaps most excitingly of all, however, a 2006 live concert might well occur, as indicated by continued expansion of the Valkyrie Profile and Baten Kaitos series. Fortunately, their producer, who originally worked on behalf of Outer Limits, introduced two of that band's ex-members to 'Déjà vu', these being Tomoki Ueno on keyboards and vocals and Ken Ishita on bass and electric guitar.

Its arranged album served to magnify this effect, emphasising the huge inspiration behind the original score and also reflecting the musical sensitivity of Motoi Sakuraba aptly. Motoi Sakuraba, born on August 5, 1965, is a prolific progressive rock musician, who specialises in the area of video game music, but has also featured in anime and TV drama soundtracks, live concerts, and independent albums.

These, together with 2001's Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children Game Music Arrange Tracks with T's music's Tomoyuki Hamada and the aforementioned Famicom anniversary album, are the only available albums that show Sakuraba arranging other people's work. A 2004 live concert also occurred, including six new works, including original themes dedicated to organ, piano, and synth, which was an 'up close and personal' experience despite recycling of half the material from the 2003 concert. More significantly, only two albums were released for the series; one, the Mario Tennis 64 Original Soundtrack, was functional and enjoyable, yet hardly a demonstration of Sakuraba at his most inspired, while the more recent and critically acclaimed Mario Sports CD The Best succeeded in demonstrating Sakuraba develop his work and experiment with classic themes, though was limited in that it was only a promotional item and featured a limited number of contributions from just two games to the series. As IGN describe, 'everything from the beat-happy and infectious combat themes to the subtle and melancholic tracks during the game's more dramatic moments draw the player deeper into the game world'.

The Motoi Sakuraba Live Concert Star Ocean & Valkyrie Profile was simply musical bliss for Sakuraba's fans, with Sakuraba's supreme arrangement and keyboard performance being complemented perfectly by the performances of drummer Toshihiko Nakamura and bassist Atsushi Hasegawa, both of whom have prolonged solos on the "Theme of RENA" arrangement. Sakuraba went from strength to strength from here, releasing his first and only solo album in 1990, the progressive rock hit Gikyoku Onsou. Sakuraba's latest tri-Ace work is March 2006's PSP remake of Valkyrie Profile, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, which will feature a remastered score from Sakuraba, the Valkyrie Profile Original Soundtrack -Complete Reprint-, and possibly some extra tracks. He later went on to release the albums Arcus II -Silent Symphony-, FZ Series AXIS, and Maneuver Cepter Granada. Sakuraba continued to to work only with Wolf Team all the way up to 1994, contributing to the scores of 22 more games, including El Viento, Earnest Evans, Angel's Poem ~Shiroki Tsubasa no Inori~, and various Arcus games. Most scores also featured Shinji Tamura's work as well, leading to many misattributing each composers' works; though their styles aren't too similar, with Tamura's style generally being lighter and more repetitive, they were asked to do the same music for most of the games they worked on. Influenced by British progressive rock artists such as Pink Floyd and his favourite band UK in his younger years, Japanese developments in the genre during the 1980's, such as Ryuichi Sakamoto's progressive electronic Yellow Magic Orchestra and the symphonic progressive rock group 'Outer Limits' provided a further background to the development of his general style. In 1999, long-time Sakuraba sound designer and programmer Hiroya Hatsushiba, a former member of Wolf Team and tri-Ace, founded tri-Crescendo. Featuring new areas, cutscenes, and FMVs, Motoi Sakuraba was hired once again to compose the music, thus resulting in the Director's Cut soundtrack.

Still, there was one breakthrough achievement for Sakuraba at Telenet Japan, which was 1995's Tales of Phantasia, developed by Wolf Team and published by Namco. With all these upcoming projects, however, one has to consider whether his family will ever get the chance to see him at all. While initially continuing to contribute sound work to tri-Ace games, tri-Crescendo began game development in 2001.

His eclectic style is continually expanding, however, and, as a result of Sakuraba's continual subtle and often successful attempts to introduce new ideas to his music, his music stands in a unique way against those from other progressive rock musicians, never being generic. Overall, his Camelot Software Planning contributions are the least well-known of his post-1995 works, and this was partly as a result of the games being relatively unpopular compared to the Tales and Star Ocean series, despite some actually being very popular titles.
