Norihiro Tsuru (都留教博) is a Japanese violinist and composer. He has composed the scores to several anime series,[1][better source needed] including the anime film and OVA series of The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Mermaid's Forest and Mermaid's Scar.[2][3][4]
He released his first album "月をつくった男" in 1989.[5] He also organized the New-age music group Acoustic Cafe in 1990 (not related to the American radio programme Acoustic Café).[6]
Acoustic Café is composed of cellist Ayako, pianist Rie Nishimoto and violinist and keyboardist Norihiro Tsuru.
Perhaps his best-known standalone piece is Last Carnival, a bittersweet work in G-minor for violin, cello and piano.[citation needed]
