Ramroh is a musician and sequencer from Japan who released RCPs, and later MIDIs, on NIFTY Serve from 1990 to the early 2000s. He covers a lot of classical music, and apparently has perfect pitch. From 1993-2003, he sequenced covers of many songs in the Sailor Moon soundtrack. He probably released some music under a pseudonym before he started going by Ramroh in January 1993. Being that Sailor Moon released in 1991 (92?) he was one of the very first people covering this music online. The majority of his MIDIs were released from 1992-1997. Before the soundtrack came out, and for those who didn't have it, some of his music will have been the first/only way to listen to these tracks. He originally recorded in the RCP format directly from Recomposer (Japanese software for Roland), and distributed his music with handwritten notes as was common at the time (archived here). He (for a short period I think) distributed in MIDI, but there's no extensive archiving of this due to some key exclusions from the Internet Archive. Ramroh is unique in that very little archiving of his MIDIs are around, though one or two are very prominent features amongst older archives here and here. He was never credited, since his music seems to have likely been grabbed from an upload to a website called maison-otaku. His website seems to have been poorly historically archived; he himself claims that few MIDIs of his own are around anymore, and that he does not have them, though these cannot be distributed anyway due to JASRAC. Some of Ramroh's classical covers and original music are available for purchase here. He is still active on his website. He abides by JASRAC rules and prevents the majority of his work from being downloaded at all. Ramroh has this classy number on his profile: 女性（５歳～３５歳くらい、って下がアブナい？） - meaning, [I prefer] "women (age 5 to 35... is any younger than that kinda dangerous?)". Gross. Ramroh's tracks are extensive replicas of the original on complex hardware. Point deducted for being a creep. Also because most of his tracks are unfinished (the finished tracks may have been removed due to JASRAC). "I am uninterested in being “consistent.”" - Roger Ebert
