Seiji Yokoyama, best known for his work on the Space Pirate Captain Harlock and Saint Seiya series, passed away on July the 8th in Hiroshima due to pneumonia. He was 82 years old.
I'll leave some of his works here:

Anyway thanks infinitely for SS soundtrack.

You might be confusing him with Shingo Araki

Holy shit! i loved ost in Harlock.
>>159626287
Kurumada once said that Saint Seiya will always be a hit as long as Araki, Furuya and Yokoyama were involved in the series.
Welp, now Tohru Furuya is the only one left in that list.
>>159626287
Fuck, I loved his work on Saint Seiya.
RIP

I don't particularly care when directors or writers die, but the world having one less amazing composer in it sucks that much more.
>>159626287
Good stuff
I have not known him or his work but it seems natural to pay respects. However, at age 82, it just doesn't feel right to be sad for him, so I'll just say "thanks for your hard work".

Fans are the ones who are more shocked since it was sudden and we already lost Araki and Barrero just last year (The LA Spanish voice for Seiya).
But indeed, sadly Yokoyama was very old, and all we can really do is accept it and remember him through his music.
NOOOOOOOOOO
One of Yokoyama's lesser works on the west is Metalder. I instantly recognized his style

I recommend 0:00, 8:10, 17:27, 27:09 (this sound very SSish) 40:42
The show is fucking great, even if it's retooled around episode 10 because it was traumatizing Japanese kids but ended very strong
Somebody stop him!

He also did music for Ohranger and Winspector
>>159626287
May he rest in peace. His music brought out those manly tears in the shows he composed for.
>>159640981
I didn't know about Winspector
>>159642135
Dairugger XV too
I feel... empty.
RIP.
