Hiroaki Yoshida is a Japanese composer and sound designer who worked for Data East. While working there, he composed the music for almost all of their arcade games. Because Azusa Hara also worked on the music and sound for a great deal of Data East's arcade games, Hiroaki and Hara usually worked together on Data East's arcade games. Yoshida currently plays guitar in the band Gamadelic with some other former Data East staff members.

Music Development

GBA

He created MIDI files, possibly in Logic. He then ran them through a blue box provided by Nintendo, and then used Nintendo's MP2K sound driver.
