New Procyon Studio Composer

[Fatigue]

Just letting you know that a new composer is on the block at Procyon Studio. Very little is known about Shota Kageyama, except that he plays Piano and has worked on a few albums as a performer. Possibly Kageyama is the main composer for the upcoming game, Luminous Arc, where he will join Mitsuda as composer as well as two outsiders.

(Regarding Luminous Arc, Junya Kuroda is the synth operator and Hidenori Suzuki is the sound programmer).

It seems a former Tri-Crescendo (or Tri-Ace?) sound creater was employed by Procyon-Studio. Frankly speaking, for me, it's a bit strange to see someone give occupational preference to Procyon-Studio over Tri-Crescendo (or Tri-Ace?). Perhaps it's too hard for an indivisual to work around 5.1ch consoles and thus there are someone prefer to work more on outdated consoles?

She came from tri-Crescendo, that page mentions Trusty Bell in which tri-Ace has no involvement. My guess would be that she may be interested in sound design for actual music. Procyon Studio seems to be involved in such while not doing compositions, like Level 5's recent well selling self-published DS game Layton (or so I heard, got no confirmation myself). Wanting to do sound design for music at tri-Crescendo is futile as long as they keep Sakuraba who does everything music related on his own (besides playing instruments he doesn't play), and tri-Crescendo's two games without his involvement so far (The Fear and Radiata Stories) weren't any different in that regard.

He is currently removed from this page (http://www.procyon-studio.co.jp/staff/index.html), which indicates he already left Procyon Studio after just one year ;D

I can't confirm it either, except for sound programming and voice conversion.
