After Buuhan1’s question in the General RAW discussion on who mainly composes the music of One Piece, I decided to provide the whole “who composes what” list to all of you. It’s March 2008 and today One Piece totalizes 388 bgms released on 12 cds (4 tv, 8 movies).
Tanaka Kouhei is the main composer, but he worked with several other composers. I first thought it was Shiro Hamaguchi all along, but it seems other composers joined Tanaka Kouhei from 2005 on (movies 6-9). Since I imported my cds from Japan (booklets in Japanese), I had to use Wikipedia to find the Romanization of some of the names in the credits for each track.
