Sato educated himself in various genres of music while studying at Tokyo College of Music. While his film work tends to be firmly rooted in the orchestra, he’s not above injecting rock, hip hop, or ethnic styles into his compositions. He is well known for composing the music for the anime X (the “Destiny” cue in particular is a favorite of the AMV crowd). He’s also worked on We Are Pretty Cure, Eureka Seven, Assassination Classroom and Heroic Age. He worked with vocalist Lisa Gerrard (of Gladiator fame) on the main theme for the wildly popular Ryomaden television series. He also scored a number of documentaries broadcast on NHK.
Aside from Yamazaki, who he has worked with since Always, Sato has also collaborated with Shinji Higuchi (Lorelei, Hidden Fortress: The Last Princess), Eiichiro Hasumi (Umizaru, Assassination Classroom), and Keishi Otomo (Ryomaden, Rurouni Kenshin).
