Round 2: Tossup 13
This composer, who calls his Twitter fans “horse bones,” claimed that his song “Nuclear Power” was made by a robber who beat him up called Stealthman. This composer is the best-known member of the bands P-Model and Mandrake. Thailand’s kathoey (“kah-TUH-ee”) people inspired many of this composer’s albums, such as Sim City, Siren, and one whose cover depicts his face covered by a red rectangle. A song by this composer of Technique of Relief is strongly linked with a clip in which a monkey listens to a walkman. Visits to Vietnam’s Bạch Hổ, or White Tiger Field, inspired this composer’s song “The Girl in (*) Byakkoya.” This composer of “Guts’ Theme” from Berserk used Vocaloid in a 2006 film score whose songs, like “Parade,” tell the story of a machine that brings dreams to life. For 10 points, name this composer who scored Paprika and other anime films by Satoshi Kon. ■END■
