Who Composed The Kakegurui Twin Soundtrack And Score?

You might be surprised how many different things get called 'Kagura' in games, so my first instinct is to clear up that the composer can change depending on which 'Kagura' you mean. If you mean the well-known 'Senran Kagura' series, the music credits differ between entries and often list several contributors — in-house composers, arrangers, and guest performers across OST releases. For an indie or lesser-known title simply called 'Kagura', the soundtrack is frequently handled by a solo composer who might also be the developer. The fastest way I go hunting for the name is checking the in-game credits, the official OST release (Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify), and databases like VGMdb or Discogs which usually list composer credits and album details. When I'm tracking down a composer I also peek at the Steam or publisher page (they sometimes highlight the composer), and fan communities or Reddit threads often transcribe full credits. Knowing that, you can usually find the exact name within a few minutes, and I love how following those breadcrumbs leads to discovering other music from the same creator — always a fun rabbit hole to fall into.

I got totally sucked into 'Kakegurui Twin' the moment I started reading, and one of the things that fascinated me most was how many new faces the spin-off brings in specifically to flesh out Mary's early days. Rather than just retreading the main cast, the prequel creates a bunch of characters who exist only in this side story—mostly classmates, local rivals, and a few student-council-like figures who shape the particular arc Mary goes through. These original characters are there to establish the social hierarchy of that era at Hyakkaou Academy and to give Mary personal stakes that the main series never needed to cover. To give you a clearer sense without getting into a dry catalog: the majority of the newly introduced people are first-year students around Mary (friends and bullies), a handful of teachers and administrators who play roles in the gambling scenarios unique to the Twin plotline, and specific antagonists that the manga/anime created so Mary could have a pre-Yumeko rise/fall story. Many of the heavy hitters from the main series—like the Momobami leadership and Yumeko herself—either don’t appear or are only hinted at, which keeps the newly-invented cast front-and-center. I love how those original characters make Mary feel embedded in a lived-in world before she ever crosses paths with the wider cast; they give the prequel its own flavor and tension that stands apart from the original series, and I still find myself thinking about a couple of those one-off rivals when rereading certain chapters.

I got sucked into tracking this down over a lazy Sunday and ended up digging through a bunch of places to be certain. If you own the physical OST or DVD/Blu-ray, the composer is usually printed in the booklet or on the disc jacket — that's where I trust first. For streaming episodes, pause on the final credits: the composer (or composers) is normally credited there. I also cross-checked with 'VGMdb' and 'Discogs' when I wanted release details, and 'Anime News Network' has staff lists that are handy when the OST was released alongside the show. From my digging, the music for 'Two Can Play' is credited to the series' primary composer and sometimes supplemented by arrangers and theme-song artists. If you're hunting for the name to add to your playlist or to track down more work by the composer, start with the OST liner notes and then confirm on database sites like 'VGMdb' and 'Discogs'—they tend to list exact track credits, arrangers, and which episodes featured each piece. In my experience, that combination nails down the composer every time, and I found a couple of favorite background tracks that way — hope you find a theme you love as much as I did.
