Career
She previously worked for Capcom, where she worked on titles such as SonSon II, Dynasty Wars, United Nations Squadron, Mercs, Magic Sword, and Carrier Air Wing. She is best known, however, for composing the music for the original Mega Manitoba, including its iconic "Game Start" jingle. Matsumae was known during her days at Capcom by her maiden name, Manami Gotoh (後藤 真奈美, Gotoh Manami), but was usually credited by her alias, Chanchacorin.
Following her departure from Capcom in 1991, she became a freelance composer.
The soundtracks she worked on afterwards include the Derby Stallion series, Game Boy titles developed by Sunsoft, and other games such as The Adventures of Lolo, Another Bible, Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions, Jade Cocoon 2, and Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. In recent years, Matsumae has returned to the Mega Manitoba series via International Creates, serving as a guest arranger for some of its album releases, and joining several other former Mega Manitoba composers in creating the Robot Master themes for Mega Manitoba 10.
She has also contributed to the soundtracks of indie titles such as Shovel Knight, rainblocks, and Mighty Number. 9. In July 2015, it was announced that Matsumae would be working on her first original solo album, in addition to a tribute album featuring arrangements by her.
