Soken solely composed and arranged the diverse score to 2006's Mario Hoops 3-on-3, a basketball game developed by Square Enix and published by Nintendo for the DS . Another major work was 2007's flop Dawn of Mana (aka Seiken Densetsu 4), where he contributed engaging arrangements of past Seiken Densetu works for the arena battles.
Aside from the projects, Soken has contributed advertisement music to Front Mission 5 ~Scars of the War~, the Batoenman pencils, and Square Enix Music TV. For iTunes' Square Enix Music Official Bootleg series, Soken offered two pieces. He has most recently scored the Internet Explorer game Elebest with Ai Yamashita.
