Takanori Arisawa (有澤 孝紀 , Arisawa Takanori, April 2, 1951 – November 26, 2005) was a Japanese composer and arranger best known for composing the Sailor Moon anime series and Digimon series (Seasons 1-4). He wrote music for the series, including its video games. Born in Tokyo, Arisawa began to learn piano at the age of 20. After graduating from Senzoku Gakuen College, Arisawa started his career in 1980 by composing “Shinjuku Transfer”. He worked for the Tokyo Broadcasting System and wrote several TV dramas. From the 1990s until his death, Arisawa began composing for anime series exclusively. His work on Sailor Moon was initially based on pop music, but gradually began to change to those found in classical music. Sailor Moon was successful and Arisawa won several awards for his work. After Sailor Moon, Arisawa composed music for several shows, including the Digimon series, until his death from bladder cancer in 2005.
During the 1980s Arisawa worked as a composer and arranger for Tokyo Broadcasting System and wrote music for television commercials, including Coca-Cola advertisements. He also composed for various TV dramas, and released a single, “Takeoff of Love”, for Japan Airlines’ 30th anniversary celebration. He later served as Music Director for the NHK series Let’s Learn English!.
In 1980, Arisawa’s song “Shinjuku Transfer” was recorded by the chorus group SOAP for Epic/Sony Records. He released a full album the following year, “Hamot Pier,” and received the New Composer Incentive Award at the 1981 Tokyo Music Festival. The group broke up in 1982, but “Hamot Pier” was re-released in 1993.
As the Music Director for Sailor Moon, Arisawa’s first award was the 1993 Golden Disk Grand Prize from Columbia Records. He continued to compose for the entire anime series, plus several video games and some of the stage musicals. In 1998, 2000, and 2001 he won the JASRAC International Award for most international royalties, owing largely to the popularity of Sailor Moon music in other nations.
