Shigeru Umebayashi


Shigeru Umebayashi is a Japanese composer.
Once the leader and bass player of Japan's new wave rock band EX, Umebayashi began scoring films in 1985 when the band broke up. He has more than 30 Japanese and Chinese film scores to his credit and is perhaps best known in the West for "Yumeji's Theme", included in director Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love. Umebayashi scored most of Wong Kar-wai's follow-up film, 2046, and House of Flying Daggers.
