He is an absolutely TERRIBLE composer. He has no idea of what chord progressions incite emotions, or when to use these emotions, or even what emotion a given piece needs to have. He fails completely in his attempts to write incidental music .... Probably the worst thing about him is that every song he writes sounds exactly the same.

Although I too have noticed somewhat repetitive-ness in his music for some scores, i have to say wait until you hear his work on Romeo x Juliet before you've made up your mind about him (although it seems you already have). Most, if not all criticisms about 'when to use what' doesn't seem to be present in this, IMO (although i haven't seen the anime yet, just worked on the soundtrack.) Plus this score is almost fully orchestral, rather than synthesised, so theres alot more potential for 'emotion'.
I think also another factor is the way the director describes the scene to the composers, although granted a composer shouldn't make 'walking around music' sound the same... but he has alot of fans, so he must be doing something right!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
