English term or phrase: bespoke music
This phrase is in the text on the trailer for a new game. There is a part where the names of the people who were involved in the production and that's where "bespoke music" shows up. The following is what it looks like:

Animation by (name)
Voice-over by (name)
Bespoke music by (name)

Bespoke music is music created specifically for the game. I've been wondering what will be a good Japanese translation for this.

Thank you for your help!

agree  Kurt Hammond: I have never heard of the term "bespoke music". It is more likely to use "original music"... or "original soundtrack"

  -> I think "bespoke"is British English. I have heard of it. You can find on Google search too.

agree  kokuritsu: That's the way I interpret the term, too.
