I love Hitoshi Sakimoto and Keiki Kobayashi.
As for the former, I don't think even he lacks diversity that much. I've been a nut for him since Ogre Battle, 1993 and have heard almost all his works, but he has flexibly and effectively changed in his stlye with each work. Certainly some say that his work has been always the same but in general people often says that sort of critique when they don't feel drawn to something. In my opinion, they don't notice that it's not because his music are actually all alike but simply because they ain't so interested in him that they can't distinguish his each work. Anyway, surely he doesn't make music that features impressive melody, but it never means his music is predictable.
As for the latter, you have to hear last ACE COMBAT series. His chorus songs are superb and there are many other instrument songs that attract me so much. However, he ain't far from prolific, but hasn't offered many works to the world. It's not fairly accurate, but it seems that he has joined in Namco in 1999 and has so far involved in about 8 titles and composed less than 80 tracks. I don't think it's enough. And his contributions to Soul Calibur 3 and Tekken 5 were quite boring. Maybe we can't meet his great pieces till next ACE COMBAT game which will be released in 2008 or 2009(I don't expect a PSP title at all).
I mean, Sakimoto for quantity and Keiki Kobayahi for quality.
Also, I like some composers:Nobuo Uematsu, Naoshi Mizuta, Kumi Tanioka, Kaori Ohkoshi and so on and I'm not an insensitive man who mention least favorite composers here(Indeed, I don't have dislikable composers. I'm just uninterested in them, rather than hate them).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
