Suzuki Kei'ichi is a Japanese composer and performer, known for his music for the Super Nintendo game EarthBound, released on the Mother 2 soundtrack. Recently, his work has been featured in Uzumaki and Tokyo Godfathers. He is also a member of the Moonriders.
Suzuki was born in Tokyo, Japan. In the 1970s, he became involved with the Japanese band Hachimitsu Pie, who released one album in 1973. Suzuki's true notoriety comes from his work with the long-lived Moonriders, who became one of Japan's most innovative rock bands. Suzuki functioned as the occasional-leader and regular singer of the band—the group's first album was in fact credited to "Suzuki Kei'ichi and the Moonriders"—which also included his brother Hirofumi. Suzuki will also be familiar to fans of the Yellow Magic Orchestra for his various collaborations with Yukihiro Takahashi, most notably on the material credited to The Beatniks. He was also a member of the trio Three Blind Moses.
He also composed music for a number of films, including The Blind Swordsman: Zatouichi, Tokyo Godfathers, Higuchinsky's Uzumaki, and Shimizu Hiroshi's Chicken Heart.
As an actor, Suzuki appeared in 1980 film; Body Drop Asphalt; Iwai' Shujis Swallowtail Butterfly and Love Letter; and other films from the late '90s and early 2000s.
In America, Suzuki is known for his eccentric music style that is best embodied in his most famous work, the music for the SNES game EarthBound ("Mother 2" in Japan). He also worked with Tanaka Hip on its NES predecessor, Mother. A few years after EarthBound, Suzuki provided the music for the audio game, Real Sound: Kaze no Regret.
His song "Satellite Serenade" was remixed by The Orb and was later featured on Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure and The Orb's Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond the Call of Duty compilation.
In February 2008, Suzuki released a new solo album Captain Hate & First Mate Love in collaboration with Sokabe Kei'ichi, touring together in late spring 2008.
