Critic Reviews

Tokyo Scoring Strings lets you score with the the famed Japanese ensemble heard on The Legend Of Zelda, Attack On Titan and more

musictech.com

Impact Soundworks' Tokyo Scoring Strings is a stellar addition for composers seeking authentic Japanese orchestral sounds. With performances by the renowned Koichiro Muroya Strings and recording at the iconic Sound City studio, the library promises an impressive range of articulations for both intimate and dynamic compositions. However, at $399, the price may deter some potential buyers who seek more budget-friendly options. While it excels in quality and versatility, the hefty price tag means it might not be for everyone. Overall, it’s a compelling choice for serious media composers and anime soundtrack fans.
