Career


Kawamoto was one of the first musicians hired at Capcom.[1] At Capcom, she was credited under the alias "Tamayan" or "Tamatama".[1] She produced music for games such as Commando, Black Tiger, and Ghouls 'n Ghosts.[2] She also composed music for Exed Exes.[3] Kamamoto later left Capcom in 1988.[2] In 1989, she joined Taito as a composer, becoming a member of their house band and sound team, Zuntata.[4] While in Zuntata, Kawamoto composed the soundtracks for Yuyu no Quiz de Go! Go! and the Ray series, including RayForce, RayStorm, and RayCrisis.[5]

According to Kawamoto in an interview, shortly after she left Zuntata, a prior coworker that was still working at Zuntata invited her to a party where they introduced her to the singer Cyua.[6] Kawamoto later joined up with Cyua to form the group Betta Flash, with Kawamoto composing their songs and Cyua being the vocalist.[7][6] Betta Flash's single, Erinyes, is featured as the closing song in the anime Night Wizard.[8] Betta Flash also arranged new songs for the CD set, "Ray'z Music Chronology," which was released in 2017.[6][9]
