KondÅ's work is also highly influenced by Eastern Asian music. His songs are predominantly melody-based with little supporting harmony, which is in keeping with the Asian tradition. This makes him unique among the most popular video game composers, as his counterparts such as Nobuo Uematsu and Koichi Sugiyama produce more Western-sounding compositions for their games.

Inspiration #2
Koji Kondo is a Japanese composer known for his work with Nintendo. His music is a great inspiration for me and many others. He has created some of the most unique and instantly recognizable themes and soundtracks to date. His greatest talent lies in being able to craft melodies that are catchy and pleasant to listen to, but remain enjoyable over a long period of time of being looped. He is considered as being "as integral to the Nintendo style as the game design of Shigeru Miyamoto.
