Perhaps most famous for blending Opera and Rap successfully on the soundtrack to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.– TV Tropesĭespite some of the quality inconsistency, Taku Iwasaki, is without a doubt an anime composer to keep on watching. Subtlety is not his specialty, but if something requires bombast, romanticism, tears, or catchy jazziness, he’s your man. Taku Iwasaki is an anime composer known for his diverse but explosive musical style. Which is alright I mean I do not expect perfection. He might have some top class music albums and others that might not be at his best. There might yet be times there are some that he might produce that are not as up to par in comparison to others. While he might have some astounding music compositions or music albums. So I am assuming now that he probably has inconsistency issues when it comes to music. The thing is it was only in Noragami that I was truly taken by his music style. Nothing short of beautiful with a serious, static mood.ĭelivery : Kind of robotic-like sounding with the ever present playful side that Taku Iwasaki seemed to perhaps be going for with Noragami.

What I hadn’t known was that he had already been on the anime composing scene for quite a while. Taku Iwasaki has somehow come up with a certain new form of music given how he can really blend some genres of music I would otherwise believe would prove impossible.
