Audio Development

NES

The company used their own custom sound driver, possibly coded by Norihiro Atsumi. For games by Tsukasa Tawada, he designed a sound driver that was programmed by a Jaleco programmer, possibly Takeshi Kawakami.

SNES

For Hect, the company used a variant of Nintendo's Kankichi-kun by Takeshi Kawakami. Tsukasa Tawada and Hitoshi Sakimoto composed a bulk of these games.

For Axes Art Amuse, the company again used a variant of Kankichi-kun, possibly reprogrammed by Norihiro Atsumi.
