Status: Partially Lost
nanosounds is a doujin label founded by Namco composer Hiroshi Okubo in 1999. It consists of fellow Namco composers such as Tetsukazu Nakanishi and Koji Nakagawa, as well as a few composers outside of the company such as Sega's Hideaki Kobayashi.
Starting in 2004, both nanosounds and SuperSweep, a music company founded by former Namco composer Shinji Hosoe, collaboratively produce a series of CDs titled Nanosweep, containing original tracks by composers from both labels. The last solo nanosounds album was FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, released in 2006. A CD consisting of two tracks, nanoDEMO#1, was released in 2007.
