NieR Composer / Pianist Keigo Hoashi leaves MONACA after 15+ years

Since today is the first of October, this is often when various contracts come to an end, and this is unfortunately true for Keigo Hoashi, who had been working with MONACA for over 15 years. He will be going independent, so we may still hear his music somewhere in the future.

If you are a fan of the NIeR soundtracks, half of them is all thanks to Hoashi’s work. As far as the NieR:Automata original soundtrack goes, you can see how each of the tracks are attributed to each of the MONACA composers here.

Here are a couple of his memorable tracks on the NieR:Automata OST:

  • Amusement Park
  • A Beautiful Song
  • Treasured Times
  • Vague Hope – Cold Rain
  • Forest Kingdom
  • Copied City
  • Widespread Illness
  • Vague Hope – Spring Rain
  • Bipolar Nightmare
  • The Sound of the End

Preparations for this year’s Tokyo Game Show is well underway! The three NieR dudes won’t stop their huge stock of NieR Orchestral Arrangement Special Edition boxs are signed!

This will be a light-hearted livestream as they are effectively locked inside the SQEX building and forced to sign their autographs over and over again! While they’re busy signing, they’ll be discussing some highlights of their work, some behind-the-scenes stories, and other fun talk. It will be interesting to see if they’re able to finish signing everything by the end of the livestream…
