Kozo Nakamura

[t7r]

Since people have been talking about his songs in the V4 thread lately, I decided to make this thread. he makes a lot of great music, but some under his name have nearly the same BPM and that gets old.

So, discuss. His latest song is called "Slang", an Extra Rush Lv1 song in V4. At least it's 180 BPM now.

Oh, and before everybody thinks that his first song was Dragon Blade, you are wrong.

Dragon Blade was quite good......but too bad it's overplayed.

Ring wasn't bad either.....while for some reason, I hate Atlante (maybe due to its bastardous extreme note chart). I say that the best song from him (IMHO) is still Purple Storm. Now that I believe is a wonderfully composed work of art

He is indeed a good composer (and it only took him a few mixes to reach this status)

EDIT: Wahoo, 400th post

My favorite Kozo are the ones not under his name...

Like Say...
And Real ~L Size no Yume~

I think he also composed/helped out with Libra...

Also, Ritter (The Legend) is Kozo + Some Vocalist...

But anyway, list of Kozo songs NOT under his name: (from Japanese Wiki

* BLIND（有待雅彦）
* HIGH (Nitza Melas)
* ROCKIN' PARADISE (Thomas Howard Lichtenstein)
* BRING BACK (Kevin Vecchione)
* SWEET FERINE (Anna Vieste)
* SUZY AND THE TIME MACHINE (Thomas Howars Lichtenstein)
* Utopia（寺島純子）
* Country day (Anna Vieste)
* Libra (Thomas Howard Lichtenstein)
* Electric Sun (Anna Vieste)
* HOLIDAY（らく楽器隊2003） - 『らくがきっず』のBGMのアレンジ
* Real~Lサイズの夢~ (MAKI)
* Say（TOMOKO MIWA）
* 無常の星（P-Bombers） - 肥塚良彦、Jimmy Wecklとの合作
* The Legend (Ritter) - Naya~nとの合作、柴田浩之と東京工業大学混声合唱団コール・クライネスが歌唱参加
* Spellbound (Anna Vieste)
* On Cloud Nine (Brian Smith)

[=Surreal=]

Slang is tooooooo easy for a level 76....67 is more like it

[typeMARS]

i know about WILD RIDE. it's a Kozo's first song in drummania 6th. it's a 12 beat rock. and of course. i love it.

[Sagat believer]

Am I the only one who finds Kozo's musical relationship with Anna Vieste analogous to Ono/Suzuki, Izumi/Kunitake or vivi (from iyiyim), and Yuei Uematsu/Ishizaka parterships?

Non-sequitur: Also, Dragon Blade doesn't make you an otaku because it's NOT from an anime series; it's an in-house song. :P

Purple storm is by Yoshihiko Koezuka and Mutsuhiko Izumi. Kozo wasn't involved.

[=Surreal=]

Rock Star (Anna Viesta) was by Izumi

so it's not purely Kozo's....haha

[shungokusatsu]

Kozo should make long versions of his songs.

[[x]Pepe[x]]

Dragon Blade has a long version...

It was great the first few months I listened to it...

Now it just bores me... D=

I guess, that's until V2.

Btw, is the 'chick heroine in the bg vid' thread replaced by songs ending in '-ng'?

Since V3, there's Ring, while in V4, Slang was announced.

[=Surreal=]

I have no idea man....
They were 3 different chicks anyway....

And I didn't notice this "-ng" relation...good find

[[x]Pepe[x]]

Who said they had to have a pattern anyways..

[aeriyu]

Trick Trap sez so :p

[Baby Bonnie Hood]

Meh, Black Horizon's vid looks like crap compared to those of the other two :P
