Norihiko Hibino... That name surely known by any Metal Gear Solid fan. He was responsible for the soundtrack to MGS2-4 and was closely collaborating with Harry Gregson-Williams.

GEM Impact, Inc. will be contributing to
Bayonetta, helping create the game’s cutscene music. So as to make it happen studio will work alongside PlatinumGames sound director
Masami Ueda (Devil May Cry, Resident Evil) and composer
Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Okami). If you don’t remember I’ll refresh your memory – Gem Impact was founded by
Norihiko Hibino who is globally known as a composer, arranger, and saxophonist, particularly for his brilliant work on the soundtrack of the famous videogame, the Metal Gear Solid series.
“PlatinumGames is a studio that needs no introduction,” glowingly states Hibino, “We’re excited to be working with the many renowned game creators at PlatinumGames, and look forward to contributing music to Bayonetta.”
There's still not a whole lot we know about Bayonetta. The main protagonist is quite a graceful witch. She has guns on her feet and can attack with her magical hair, which she also uses as clothing. She can command it to weave itself into different shapes, such as a huge foot that can kick enemies into oblivion. Angels, cherubs and God's other creatures are Bayonetta's main adversaries through out the game. What’s the point of defeating enemies? Even devs don’t know for sure yet.
Bayonetta is set to be released in 2009 but the exact date is still unknown. The editorial board of Game-OST has a suspicion that CD soundtrack is likely to see the light of day. At least
"Ninja Blade" original soundtrack 2-disc set produced by GEM Impact (Keep watching the site for the full interview coming soon!) was already issued.
