A couple of people have started but I think it needs more input.

Many people don't know how to use it so they can post their info here.

Video Game Music Wiki (http://videogamemusic.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game_Music_Wiki)


I made this post but it needs to be fixed. The list was all one line and the two paragraphs at the start are in a grey box.

If anyone can fix that here is the original text:

Japanese women are more well-known than western women composers. This is due to music education in Japanese schools being stricter and more thorough from a younger age compared to the west. As a result you have more Japanese women composers.

Japanese work ethics and workforce structure may also have an effect. The Japanese have in-house composers that stay with the company for many years and move up through the positions. The west tends to use freelance composers as this is cheaper. As a result fewer women become big names or celebrated in Western Video Game Music.
