Yeah. It seems to be a similar case with Sakimoto. According to Squaresound his skills have been honed from employment and experience rather than any music schooling.

Inspiration isn't something that can be taught. Mitsuda has certainly proved himself to be inspired, so the technical aspect of how skilled he is doesn't seem to matter since it clearly hasn't hampered his ability to capture the hearts of many people out there.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mitsuda since I have to be in the right mood to enjoy a lot of his stuff, but I do understand what others see in his work. It's mostly laid back and relaxing music that he seems to do well. Not very interesting for me, but if you need something soothing, Mitsuda has always been a dependable choice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
