クロノ・クロス
Mitsuda returned as the lead composer for 1999s "Chrono Cross" after composing its predecessor, "Chrono Trigger". After being contacted to compose the score by the game's director Masato Kato, Mitsuda decided to center his work around old world cultural influences, including Mediterranean, Fado, Celtic, and percussive African music. To complement the theme of parallel worlds, he gave the songs for the two worlds of the game, "Another" and "Home", respectively dark and bright moods. Mitsuda was happy to accomplish even half of what he envisioned. Once production concluded, Mitsuda played "Chrono Cross" to record his impressions and observe how the tracks intermingled with scenes.
