The Pokémon Company recently released the Pokémon X & Pokémon Y Super Music Collection, which features three hours of music for $9.99 on iTunes. To mark the occasion, director (and composer) Junichi Masuda and sound director Shota Kageyama talked about the importance of the games; sound and music, in an interview with Famitsu magazine.
According to Kageyama, “beauty” was an important keyword that played the role in the majority of music that was composed for Pokémon X and Y.
While approaching aspects of the music such as tone and melodies, he
thought of various ways of bringing out the feeling of “people are
beautiful,” as he composed the music.
