Fumie Kumatani

Fumie Kumatani (熊谷 文恵), born Dec. 13, 1972 in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, is a musician who works for Wave Master. She started to play the piano when she was three years old ("I don't remember why I started but I said to my mother while crying 'No more candy, please give me a piano!'")

Kumatani claims "I create music because I love music! When I create I first begin to think about the atmosphere and visualize the spectacle. I try to sing a song where the music is likely to start in the game."
