Takechi Tetsuji Film Score Composer

[Michael McCaskey]

I'm sorry I left your other question unanswered--
The score composer's name is:

Shiba Sukehisa

There don't seem to be any CD's of his work that I can see. He is a serious, prolific composer, and it looks as if he only did the scores for two Takechi films, and for no other films ever again.

If you want to go very deeply into Shiba's music, it's all available in print--in an (at least) 13-volume set of books of Shiba's complete sheet music--each volume or subset is categorized by the type of composition/arrangement. Some vols. are piano, some choral, etc. etc.

If you are a musician, and can read music, there's enough there to last for years, and 11 of the vols. are available now for direct purchase from Amazon Japan, if you'd like to get any of them.

The URL where the 11 available books are is below (you need to copy the whole thing, and then paste it in the browser search window).

The ISBN for vol. 1 is:
 ISBN: 4276495016  (1998/12/10)
