Who will replace Sugiyama?

Sugiyama was born on 1931-04-11, making him 75 years old. I don't know what the life expectancy is in Japan, but I don't know how many DQ games he has left in him, though I like his music and hope its alot, but this question hay have to be asked soon. Personally, he's one of my favorite SQ-Enix composers, and looking at the list of SQ-Enix composers, one of only 2 that I know and really like their compositions, so I'd have to say that Yoko Shimomura should replace him by default.

Of course, take this with a grain of salt, the only others I'm familiar with are Hamauzu (Who I don't really like, I remember listening to the SGF2 ost in my car once and thinking "This piano piece has been going on for like 20 minutes, when will it be over," and it was really like 10 different songs. Needs variety,) and Sakimoto (Though my opinion of him is slowly getting higher.)
