SNK Sound Team

The SNK Sound Team or the SNK New World Music Performance Team (SNK 新世界楽曲雑技団, SNK Shinsekai Gakkyoku Zatsugidan) is an alias used for SNK's music composers and game creators. They are often credited on most of the company's CD releases.

Before SNK went bankrupt, the group had approximately 30 members and two teams -one in studio and one for recording arrangements. Arrangements were often played by Japanese musicians hired by the company and the studio team worked with their games' development teams to compose melodies. The group's selected genre varied from rock, techno, jazz, classical, folk, and others. Aside from music for the company's games, the group also made the soundtrack for the Art of Fighting anime and participated in the first Fatal Fury OVA. It is unknown how many of the group's members still work with SNK-Playmore today.
