Nintendo recommended vocal tracks so they're working with Amex to produce 3 tracks: an opening theme, ending theme, and a song that plays in a climactic moment.
Nice, can't wait to hear the soundtrack!
I believe the battle theme was arranged by Kenji Hiramatsu, not Satoshi Igarashi.

I don't think he was responsible for that theme. He just helped out with the game's music as "assistant engineer."
Some of the songs sounded like Keiichi Okabe, a couple of others like El Shaddai's soundtrack.
This is pretty high praise. The OST is in good hands.

It's a recurring theme with many first-party games on the Switch and I really love it!
OH SHIT, that just went straight to 100 with no build up.
Hyped as hell now.
What I've heard of Astral Chain's music did remind me of Devastation quite a bit, so, this is very fitting.
That would have been awesome.
I'm craving for some amazing quality Sakuraba since Exist Archive.
Still gonna be interesting to listen to. Liked what I heard so far.
This is a good sign.
This is THE sign.
Uh holy fuck this was incredible. This was a PS+ game at some point I think, I might actually need to go download that now.
Does Okabe work on much games? He seems to be very particular and seems to prefer working with Taro lately
As for Satoshi, it seems he's helped a lot on many of Platinum's games by his quick bio at the bottom of the page, including Nier:
Satoshi Igarashi
Satoshi Igarashi joined PlatinumGames as a music composer in 2013. Since then, he's worked on music for Bayonetta 2, Transformers: Devastation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan and NieR:Automata.
As ASTRAL CHAIN's lead composer, Igarashi wrote and produced songs for the game's score, directed all music and handled the more technical aspects of musical implementation as well.
I believe he was just helping out with the Fire Emblem Three Houses Soundtrack. He's a freelance/contractor now
Aww, I did like his work in Awakening, but I loved his work in Bayonetta/Okami/Wonderful 101.
