‘Resident Evil’ Soundtrack Creator Admits He Hired Ghost Composer
This week, famed Japanese musician Mamoru Samuragochi revealed he hired a ghost composer to assist him on scoring some of his work, including the soundtracks for Onimusha and Resident Evil: Director’s Cut. Samuragochi has struggled with a degenerative hearing condition that gradually worsened in the mid to late 90s, when his work was most in demand.
He continued his work even as he completely lost his hearing at age 35 while scoring Onimusha, though apparently, not without the help of another composer. How involved Samuragochi was in his work after that point is unknown.
Samuragochi was called a “digital-age Beethoven” in an interview with Time magazine back in 2001. “I listen to myself,” he said in the interview. “If you trust your inner sense of sound, you create something that is truer. It is like communicating from the heart. Losing my hearing was a gift from God.”
A statement from his lawyers reads “Samuragochi is deeply sorry as he has betrayed fans and disappointed others. He knows he could not possibly make any excuse for what he has done.”

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
