In Doubutsu no Mori+ and Animal Crossing[edit]

The following tracks were added in Doubutsu no Mori+:

Although Shinobu Nagata was still credited for "Event BGM" in Animal Crossing, given that Kazumi Totaka is known to have composed some of the new event themes for the localization[4] it remains unclear if Nagata was responsible for the other new themes.

In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

Despite her work reappearing in Doubutsu no Mori e+, Nagata did not appear in the credits.

In Welcome amiibo[edit]

Nagata is listed in the credits for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo but not the original New Leaf, meaning she composed new music for either the campground, Animal Crossing Puzzle League, or both.

In New Horizons[edit]

Nagata was credited for the following tracks on the official soundtrack release for New Horizons:[5]

Nagata was also credited for the following tracks on the second soundtrack:[6]

Notes[edit]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Nagata was also credited for the Rescue Service theme in New Horizons, an arrangement of Resetti's theme.
  2. Spring Blossoms is a cover of the Cherry Blossom Festival theme from Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, which was changed for the international release. The theme was used as an invalid song in Doubutsu no Mori e+, and its aircheck, virtually identical to the original, debuted as a secret song in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
