Found this interesting. The composer for many Nintendo from 1987 to 1995 shares some in depth information regarding past experiences with Nintendo as well as her musical influences and such with Dave (blitzlunar);
"Continuing our interview series with veteran composers of GE-ON-DAN, Soyo Oka gives her most extensive interview to date. She initially discusses her journey from child pianist to Nintendo composer, before recollecting how she integrated 'Soyoisms' on to titles such as Yuyuki and Super Mario Kart for the company. Finally, the artist discusses her various freelance works and recent return to game music, with several arranged albums and a newly released DS title."
