This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===
Hosoe was born on February 28, 1967, in [[Gero, Gifu|Gero]], [[Gifu Prefecture]], Japan. His family moved to [[Chōfu]] while he was in first grade of elementary school. At the age of 8, he bought [[Isao Tomita]]'s album ''The Planets''. He also listened to electronic music by artists such as [[Jean-Michel Jarre]], [[Kraftwerk]] and [[Yellow Magic Orchestra]]. During his teenage years, he played bass in a Yellow Magic Orchestra tribute band. At the time, he did not have a serious interest in music and received low grades in music classes. After graduating high school, he studied computer graphics at Japan Electronics College.<ref name="ga-core 1">((Cite web |date=January 7, 2009 |title=ゲームミュージック＆アニメ専門店 |url=http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_1_1.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629064530/http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_1_1.php |archive-date=June 29, 2009 |website=ga-core))</ref> 

=== Namco (1985–1996) ===
Hosoe joined Namco in 1985 as a part-time game tester and CG artist. During this time, he merely created music as a hobby in his spare time. After showing his music to fellow co-workers, he was reassigned the position of a composer in 1986.<ref name="RocketBaby">((Cite web |date=2003 |title=RocketBaby's interview with Shinji Hosoe |url=http://interviews.rocketbaby.net/interviews_shinji_hosoe.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030604170846/http:/interviews.rocketbaby.net/interviews_shinji_hosoe.shtml |archive-date=June 4, 2003 |website=RocketBaby))</ref> This led to him composing for ''[[Dragon Spirit]]'', as well as various other arcade games such as ''[[Final Lap]]'', ''[[Ordyne]]'' and ''[[Dirt Fox]]''. He started off tracks by programming a rhythm into the sequencer, then playing melodies with a keyboard on-top, and later adding new parts or re-writing existing parts.<ref>((Cite AV media |title=Namco Game Sound Express VOL.4 Dragon Saber |date=March 21, 1991 |type=CD))</ref> In 1990, he composed for ''[[Galaxian3: Project Dragoon]]'', working with Ayako Saso and Takayuki Aihara for the first time; he found himself busy with lots of other work, hence other tracks were composed by the other two composers.<ref name="ga-core 2">((Cite web |date=January 14, 2009 |title=ゲームミュージック＆アニメ専門店 |url=http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_2_2.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629064545/http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_2_2.php |archive-date=June 29, 2009))</ref> 

Using the pseudonym Yuji Yamada, he also composed for games that were not developed or published by Namco. These include the ''Little Master'' series; as the series was intended for children, director Tadato Kawano asked Hosoe to compose tracks that are upbeat and happy.<ref>((Cite AV media |title=LITTLE MASTER SOUNDTRACK ZENER WORKS 25th ver |date=December 24, 2015 |last=Kawano |first=Tadato |language=ja))</ref> He also composed for the [[PC-98]] game ''[[Eye of the Beholder (video game)|Eye of the Beholder]]'' along with [[Yuzo Koshiro]], whose style he tried to imitate for his tracks in the game.<ref>((Cite tweet |number=1255900923290779648 |user=shinji_hosoe |title=Eye of the Beholder の中身は出来るだけ古代ちゃんに寄り添ったつもり…まー聞いての通りなのに、でもどう考えても自分だろっていうところがあって、何年後しかわからないけど、コラボって面白いって思う！ |first=Hosoe |last=Shinji |date=April 30, 2020))</ref>

In 1992, Hosoe composed for ''[[Fighter & Attacker]]'' alongside Aihara, which was his first game project to utilize [[hardcore techno]] music. Neither Hosoe and Aihara had previously listened to music in this genre; Kawano had given Hosoe two CDs of hardcore techno music, which initially puzzled him but grew on him after repeated listens, so he composed music in this genre to match the game's intensity.<ref>((Cite AV media |title=Shinji Hosoe Works Vol.4 ~F/A~ |date=December 5, 2014 |last=Hosoe |first=Shinji |language=ja))</ref> The following year, he composed for ''[[Ridge Racer (1993 video game)|Ridge Racer]]''. While racing games at this point often featured [[jazz fusion]] music, the majority of tracks in the game are dance music,<ref name="ga-core 2"/> although he initially planned to include a wider variety of genres. Due to time constraints, he asked Saso and [[Nobuyoshi Sano]] to contribute one track each.<ref>((Cite AV media |title=Namco Game Sound Express VOL.11 Ridge Racer |date=January 21, 1994 |last=Hosoe |first=Shinji |language=ja))</ref> The success of ''Ridge Racer'' has since led to him receiving many offers from companies to compose similar music. He also composed for ''[[Cyber Sled]]'' earlier that year, which he considers to be his greatest work,<ref name="Square Enix Music Online"/> although it received a mixed reception from critics, who criticized it for being repetitive.<ref>((Cite web |date=April 18, 2016 |title=Cyber Sled - PlayStation |url=https://nerdbacon.com/cyber-sled-playstation/ |website=Nerd Bacon Reviews))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Kotowski |first=Don |date=November 18, 2015 |title=Cyber Commando -Shinji Hosoe Works Vol. 5- |url=http://www.vgmonline.net/shinjihosoeworks5/))</ref>

=== Arika and SuperSweep (1996–present) ===
Hosoe left Namco to join [[Arika]] in 1996, feeling that his salary would not increase any further.<ref name="ga-core 3"/> Saso and Aihara also joined Arika desiring to continue working with him, although Sano remained at Namco. This led to the trio composing for ''[[Street Fighter EX]]'' along with its sequels. The console versions were their first game projects to feature live instrumentation. Ex-[[Taito]] composer Yasuhisa Watanabe later joined the sound team. The trio were also given freedom to work on the music of [[Square (video game company)|Square]] games ''[[Bushido Blade (video game)|Bushido Blade]]'' and ''[[Driving Emotion Type-S]]''. The latter game was poorly received by game critics and fans, although the soundtrack has received praise for its blend of fusion, rock and techno music.<ref>((Cite web |last=Hall |first=Alexandra |date=November 6, 2020 |title=Square's Awful PS2 Racer Had Good-Ass Music, At Least |url=https://kotaku.com/square-s-awful-ps2-racer-had-good-ass-music-at-least-1845591104 |website=Kotaku))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Ismail |first=Adam |date=May 14, 2021 |title=How One Of The Worst Racing Games Ever Taught Me To Enjoy Bad Things |url=https://www.kotaku.com.au/2021/05/how-one-of-the-worst-racing-games-ever-taught-me-to-enjoy-bad-things/ |website=Kotaku))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=Driving Emotion Type-S / Bushido Blade Original Soundtrack |url=http://www.chudahs-corner.com/reviews/index.php?catalog=SRIN-1003~4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216115406/http://www.chudahs-corner.com/reviews/index.php?catalog=SRIN-1003~4 |archive-date=December 16, 2008 |website=Chudah's Corner))</ref> However, the music also received criticism, with one critic describing it as sounding like "a flock of seagulls being maimed and tortured".<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/ps2/driving_emotion_type-s |title=Driving Emotion Type-S review for the PS2 |access-date=2008-05-21 |author=Liu, Johnny |date=2001-02-01 |publisher=[[Game Revolution]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202143203/http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/ps2/driving_emotion_type-s |archive-date=2008-12-02 ))</ref>

Upon joining Arika, he expressed a desire to eventually found his own game music company, which eventually led to him leaving in 2000 and founding SuperSweep alongside Saso and Watanabe.<ref name="Square Enix Music Online"/><ref>((Cite web |date=January 28, 2009 |title=ゲームミュージック＆アニメ専門店 |url=http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_4_1.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629064600/http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_4_1.php |archive-date=June 29, 2009))</ref> Yousuke Yasui, who had already tried to apply to join Arika, also joined the company as a composer. In addition to composing for games, the company also publishes various soundtracks. 

One of SuperSweep's first works was the soundtrack of Arika's ''Technictix'' in 2001, which Hosoe considers to be one of his most significant contributions to game music.<ref name="Square Enix Music Online"/> The team also worked on the music of the game's sequel ''[[Technic Beat]]''. The game's producer, Ichiro Mihara, decided that the game's soundtrack would include remixes of music from earlier Namco and Arika games. Mihara chose which tracks would be included in the game, while the composers decided on which tracks they wanted to remix, at times fighting with other composers over who would remix a track.<ref>((Cite web |date=2002 |title=『TECHNIC BEAT』 Interview : Part 1 |url=https://www.arika.co.jp/special/sp_interview/inter_technic/inter_technic_ac01_en.html |website=Arika))</ref>

In 2004, Hosoe and Saso<ref>((Cite web |last=Saso |first=Ayako |date=August 22, 2021 |title="The part of Xenosaga Ep2 that I was in charge of was not even made into a soundtrack, so there are no song titles for any of the songs." |url=https://peing.net/ja/q/afaec7eb-2436-4801-807e-2d67e574daec |url-status=dead |website=Peing))((Dead link|date=March 2024))</ref> worked on the gameplay soundtrack of ''[[Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse]]'', with [[Yuki Kajiura]] composing the cutscene music. Kajiura worked entirely separate from Hosoe and Saso, and did not collaborate on any tracks nor even meet during the game's production.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=3027|title=Anime Boston 2009: Interview with Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura|last=Kotowski|first=Don|date=26 May 2009|publisher=Original Sound Version|access-date=28 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100920011656/http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=3027 |archive-date=20 September 2010 |url-status=live))</ref> For the gameplay tracks, Hosoe composed those with the sound hardware of the [[PlayStation 2]], and opted to use an electronic sound over orchestral due to the limited memory available to work with, in an attempt to make the difference in sound quality between the gameplay and cutscene soundtracks smaller.<ref name="Square Enix Music Online"/> His music for the game was poorly received by critics and fans at the time, and were considered unfitting;<ref>((cite web|url=http://ps2.ign.com/articles/585/585744p1.html|title=Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose|last=Dunham|first=Jeremy|date=2005-02-09|publisher=[[IGN]]|access-date=2010-01-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205001210/http://ps2.ign.com/articles/585/585744p1.html |archive-date=2012-02-05 |url-status=live))</ref> as a result, he had no interest in releasing a soundtrack CD at the time and did not return to compose for ''[[Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra]]'', although his work eventually received a more positive reception from fans.<ref>((Cite web |last=Hosoe |first=Shinji |date=February 22, 2022 |title="I don't know if you guys know this, but I got a lot of critical feedback on this title, and I wasn't in the mood to release a soundtrack." |url=https://peing.net/ja/q/99e2f517-f021-45c9-a2d9-b1e7d8cd3895 |website=Peing))</ref>

Along with Saso, [[Kenji Kawai]] and other composers, he scored ''[[Folklore (video game)|Folklore]]'' in 2007. The game features a serious, dark cinematic score; while Hosoe most frequently works on upbeat electronic music, he found the music easy to compose due to not having to focus on sound design. In 2009, he served as the sole composer of ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors]]'', which also features dark, intense music. He found the music straightforward to compose. As he had to compose the music using the [[Nintendo DS]] sound hardware, Yasui assisted him in ensuring that the music sounded close to the quality of recorded music. He would go on to compose for later titles in the ''[[Zero Escape]]'' series, including ''[[Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward]]'' in 2012 and ''[[Zero Time Dilemma]]'' in 2016.<ref>((Cite web |last=Kotowski |first=Don |date=July 30, 2016 |title=Shinji Hosoe and Kotaro Uchikoshi Interview: Zero Times |url=http://www.vgmonline.net/hosoeuchikoshiinterview/ |website=Video Game Music Online))</ref>

In 2016, game company Breaking Bytes announced that if its [[shoot 'em up]] game ''Xydonia'' is successfully funded, then Hosoe and Keishi Yonao will contribute additional tracks to the game. Saso and Yasui are also planned to be additional composers for the game if the stretch goal of €32,000 is reached.<ref>((Cite web |last=Greening |first=Chris |date=June 28, 2016 |title=Hosoe and Yonao tipped to contribute to new retro shmup soundtrack |url=http://www.vgmonline.net/hosoe-and-yonao-tipped-to-contribute-to-new-retro-shmup-soundtrack/ |website=Video Game Music Online))</ref> However, as of 2024 the game has yet to be released.

=== Side projects ===
In addition to his career as a composer for games and other media, Hosoe has also participated in a number of side projects. He founded the record label Troubadour Record in 1991. The label released a number of game soundtrack-inspired concept albums, featuring other prolific video game composers such as [[Hitoshi Sakimoto]] and [[Hayato Matsuo]],<ref name="ga-core 3">((Cite web |date=January 21, 2009 |title=ゲームミュージック＆アニメ専門店 |url=http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_3_2.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629064555/http://www.ga-core.net/special/sp001_3_2.php |archive-date=June 29, 2009 |website=ga-core))</ref> as well as vocal and cover albums. He was also part of the group Oriental Magnetic Yellow (O.M.Y.), parodying Yellow Magic Orchestra, alongside fellow Namco composers Sano, Aihara, and Hiroto Sasaki.<ref name="RocketBaby"/> The group released several albums and also performed concerts.<ref>((Cite web |title=OMY |url=https://troubador.panic.or.jp/omy/top.html |archive-date=December 19, 2000 |website=Troubadour Record|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001219065900/https://troubador.panic.or.jp/omy/top.html ))</ref> He has also released albums under the Sampling Masters name with Saso, including the ''Over Drive Hell'' series of albums. He has also participated in the Nanosweep album series, which features original tracks by composers from both SuperSweep and Hiroshi Okubo's circle nanosounds.
