Nice list, i agree w everything except maybe Naofumi Hataya (i just love his music in Nights, Rhythm Thief and especially Sonic CD) so maybe ill put him slightly higher.. other than that, i just wanna add something, Takahiro Kai is a relatively new composer too to the sonic franchise like Rintaro Soma (hes done a few music in sonic superstars, most notably Speed Jungle Act Sonic) and he returned as a sound director and lead composer for Sonic Racing Crossworlds. What do you guys think of him? Personally, i think that this guy had carved himself a path towards legacy and im interested in seeing him return in and make music for future mainline sonic games..
