Scitron & Art Inc. (サイトロン・アンド・アート株式会社) was a company known mostly for releasing video game music soundtracks, but was also for a time involved in software development. [1] Later it was primarily involved with voice and music production.
Scitron & Art was established on August 8, 1986 [2] as Digital Entertainment (デジタル・エンターテイメント) [3] by Kazusuke Obi (小尾一介), a former A&R man at Alpha Records (YMO's record company) who also started Alpha's G.M.O. Records video game music label. [4] He started Scitron & Art with members of Masanobu Endo's development company Game Studio. [5] It was originally meant to "be like a sibling company of Game Studio, doing music-related things" and was based in the same building. [6]
The interactive architecture division of Scitron & Art was acquired by DS Interactive, a subsidiary of Digital Garage, in May 2000. [7] In 2001, the digital contents division was spun off into Scitron Digital Contents (サイトロン・デジタルコンテンツ株式会社) [8], which was acquired by Happinet as a subsidiary in 2004.
