Since the majority of NieR:Automata fans seem to attribute their high acclaim for the soundtrack solely to Okabe Keiichi (MONACA), I’d like to remind everyone that although he is most certainly is not the only talented composer at the company. Although he is responsible for the majority of the tracks on the soundtrack, it could be that your favorite track was not actually composed by him!
That is why I’ve compiled a track list of the soundtrack to showcase the individual composers who were responsible for each separate track. Please note the color coding for each composer as follows…
Color Coding:
- Okabe Keiichi: 23 / 29 – 50%/63%
- Hoashi Keigo: 13 / 19 – 28%/41%
- Takahashi Kuniyuki: 2 / 4 – 4%/8%
- Ishihama Kakeru: 2 – 4%
- Collaborations: 8 – 17%
