Michiko Naruke, composer behind the Wild Arms series, hadn't been heard from in a long time, until the recent announcement that she would be co-composing the soundtrack to RIZ-ZOAWD for the DS.

Today, we bring you a feature article, giving plenty of new information as to where Naruke has been, and where her career path may take her in the future.

The interview took place at the "Press Start Symphony of Games 2008" event in Japan, and was conducted by guest contributor Jeriaska, who has provided similar articles for RPGFan in the past.

Our sincere thanks goes to Jeriaska, Michiko Naruke, and others for providing this interview for us to host.
