Here you can find a selection of entirely Fortune Street video game music. I do not own the rights to any of the music heard in these videos.

Sorry if anyone was trying to listen to Fortune Street music within the last hour and couldn't. My channel was wrongfully terminated and immediately reinstated upon my appeal 30 minutes after. We should be all good now.

Is it known who the composer of Fortune Street actually is?

In all my videos it’s listed as the late Koichi Sugiyama. He’s the famous composer of the Dragon Quest series. This credit for him is taken directly from the GilvaSunner channel, for which all my uploads are archived from.

But, if you look at the actual game credits, he’s credited as “Dragon Quest Music Composer”. This is very strongly implying it is simply crediting him as the original composer for the Dragon Quest themes covered in the game. But, outside of that, there’s not a single proper mention of any sort of composer.

In the section for the co-developer, Marvelous AQL, there is a single name listed under “Sound”. That being Takafumi Nishimura.

The section dedicated to TOSE Software also lists several “Sound” credits. A “Sound Advisor” in Hidenori Miyanaga. Multiple people listed under “Sound Programmers” and a single “Sound Assistant”.

So, are all of these “Sound” credits the actual composers of the game? Is it just Nishimura? Is it just the TOSE people? Or is it someone else completely unlisted in all of this? I’m hoping someone has a more concrete answer to this for me.

(EDIT: After discussing it with someone definitely more knowledgable than me about this kind of subject, I've decided to change the composer credit to Nishimura. It seems significantly more likely that he is the actual composer of the game.)
