Gateway: Music
Over the years many talented composers and musicians have contributed to the Suikoden series. This has taken the form of in-game soundtracks, arrangement CDs, vocal collections, and even live symphonic performances. There have also been audio non-music releases, such as drama CDs and internet radio shows which are also documented here.

Higashino Miki Higashino Miki (東野美紀, also known as MIKI-CHANG, born January 1, 1968) is a retired freelance video game composer who was the lead music director for both Suikoden and Suikoden II. Higashino Miki grew up listening to classical music since childhood. She started to learn piano and first began written short pieces while still in kindergarten. While an elementary school student, she attended a composition school, learning the music of such composers as Chopin and Beethoven. She also attended a mission school for 6 years, and the church music learned there would be one of the foundational inspirations for her music. She also formed a band in junior high school and wrote many original pieces. After entering Osaka University's music composition department, Higashino participated in the Yamaha Popular Song Contest where she advanced to the semi-finals. She also started working part-time at Konami and started working on Gradius and Salamander.
