About

Hi, I’m Chikara Aoshima, an experienced composer based in Berlin. I specialize in creating original music and soundscapes for video games, theater plays, and other multimedia projects. With a background in jazz and Brazilian drumming alongside formal education from Berklee College of Music, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical skill to my compositions.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to compose for CAPCOM video games such as “Kunitsu_Gami path of the goddess” and “Shinsekai into the depths” , collaborate on music albums, and perform regularly in theaters across Germany. I’m passionate about my craft and always eager to explore new musical landscapes and storytelling through sound.

I composed all the music for CAPCOM’s new IP “Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess”, which is released Play station 4 and 5, X box and steam. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a 2024 action-strategy video game developed and published by Capcom. The player assumes control of Soh, a warrior who is tasked to protect a divine maiden named Yoshiro who must “purge and cleanse” villages of “defilement” and return the legendary Mt. Kafuku to peace.[1]

The game was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on July 19, 2024 and on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025 as a launch title for the console. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, but failed to meet Capcom’s sales expectations.

Here are some videos of the video game as well as the original sound tracks.
