Junya Nakano (仲野 順也)

Music Composer

In 1985, Junya Nakano began his video game music career by creating MIDI files on his PC. Upon graduating from vocational school, he instantly applied to Konami and was given a job without delay. He spent 4 years working for the Konami arcade department before he, along with Kenichiro Fukui, left Konami to join Square.

Junya Nakano's game music scores for Square Enix include Another Mind (1998) and Threads of Fate (1999). He has also collaborated on the soundtracks for Final Fantasy X (2001) with Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu, and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) with Masashi Hamauzu, Takayuki Iwai, and Yuki Iwai. Additionally he composed a handful of tracks for Front Mission: Gun Hazard (1996), Tobal No. 1 (1996), and Seiken Densetsu 4: Dawn of Mana.

Though he left Square after his work for Final Fantasy X for a stint at Asmik Ace Entertainment, Inc., he is once again working for Square Enix.
