The soundtrack was created entirely by Rei Kondoh, one of the four composers who worked on the original game, although it includes several arrangements of pieces and themes from its predecessor. Although the music is traditional in effect, it is primarily western in construction, partially because Japanese traditional methods are very rigid, and partially to add tonal harmony, which is largely absent from traditional music.īoth game and soundtrack were well received, and the decision was made to make a sequel for the DS in order to make use of its touch screen capabilities. Matsushita also called Chibiterasu clumsy and having child-like traits of 'being tearfully sentimental or not being able to make decisions'.2006's Okami combined the action/adventure gameplay of Zelda with a uniquely Japanese twist the story was based in traditional mythology, the graphics were inspired by sumi-e (ink and wash painting), and the music used Japanese instruments throughout, focusing especially on the shakuhachi and shinobue. Producer Eshiro noted that he is a 'young form of existence' and not fully grown he retains several abilities of Amaterasu, including the Celestial Brush, but lacks her power, which will be reflected in the plot and gameplay. Chibiterasu, as revealed by Matsushira, is, in fact, Amaterasu's child/son, as was previously speculated. The Konohana Sprite Sakuya, a character from the original ÅŒkami, summons the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, but instead finds Chibiterasu, who looks like a young version of Amaterasu. In spite of Amaterasu's battle against the Dark Lord Yami, which would kill all the demons in Nippon, they return.

The game takes place nine months after the events of Okami. Much of ÅŒkamiden' centers around the children of previous characters from ÅŒkami and their adventures and the relationships that form through the game's story, according to producer Motohide Eshiro.
