Hey, I finally finished reviewing disc 1! Maybe I'll make it through the others faster because of repeat performers????

classification guide:
Definitely: I am absolutely 100% convinced you've got the right person.

Likely: There is still a small sliver of doubt in my mind, usually because I like to connect the person with the composer/arranger, other performers, or other anime works before calling it confirmed and I couldn't here. I tend to be one of the more extreme guys here when it comes to holding back before calling things, so if you think I'm being overly stubborn or finicky, no hate. (I've got mad love for all VGMdb submitters. <3)

Maybe: Plausible, though far from confirmed.

Stumped: Self-explanatory. If I remember correctly, you don't have a scanner? If you can provide clear enough pictures of the names with a camera or something, I wouldn't mind giving you a second pair of eyes on them. If not or if it'd be too much of a hassle, no worries.


Definitely: Akira Ishikawa, Masaoki Terakawa, Yoshio Kimura, Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Kaoru Iiyoshi, Hideo Ichikawa, Isao Kanayama, Yukio Eto, Takashi Asahi, Akira Miyashita, Masanobu Arao, Yasuo Hirauchi, Sumio Okada, Eiji Arai (already in the DB!), Harumi Mita, Motoe Miyajima, Kazuo Uchino, Shuhei Kubo, Kiyoshi Osawa, Masatsugu Shinozaki, Yoshinori Tada, Kou Miyauchi, Tomio Yajima, Hidekiyo Hirano, Mitsuo Otsu* (bumped up from likely)

Likely: Naoki Yamamoto, Minoru Ishiyama, Fumiharu Murata, Koji Yamaguchi, Youichi Yamamoto, Matsue Yamahata, Shigeru Toyama, Takeshi Kobayashi, Yuuji Fukuda, Katsumasa Nozawa, Yutaka Tomohiro, Tatsuo Kodagawa, Yoshiaki Nakatsuka, Sayaka Kunori, Katsuhiro Shinoda, Katsuhiko Hayashi, Tatsuya Miyake, Shinroku Mogi (茂木新六), Seiho Natori, Hideo Fujimoto, Michio Sato, Hideki Hoshi

Maybe: Koji Hatori, Hiroyasu Kobayashi (小林啓泰), Shigeru Watanabe, Kazuhisa Terada

Stumped: 下館広起, 後藤勉, 塚田彬, 初鹿野可, 大松八啓, 牟藤伸二, 黒柳万晶, 藤畑健生, 大村信介, 蔡芳男, 小林行雄 / 小橋行雄


Naoki Yamamoto: MPN gives the same reading as DrillSpin, and it also identifies him as a classical percussionist specifically. A Naoki Yamamoto apparently performed glockenspiel and vibraphone on the 1977 Naoya Matsuoka album Joyful Feet.

Minoru Ishiyama: Flutist Toshiaki Yokota's Japanese site lists 石山実 as a percussionist on the 1971 album Primitive Community, and the English page lists him as Minoru Ishiyama.

Fumiharu Muraoka: Looks like you mean Murata, not Muraoka.

Koji Hatori: There's apparently a Koji Hadori on this album: http://vgmdb.net/album/20821. The back scan is unfortunately way too small for me to verify. Masanobu Arao is there too.

下館広起: Does the booklet definitely say 下? I also get a few horn hits for 下広起. Hiroki Shimodate is by far the likeliest reading I think, but I didn't have any luck finding that anywhere.

Takeshi Kobayashi: I don't think this is the same Takeshi Kobayashi in the database, whose Japanese Wikipedia article says he plays keyboard and bass. There is apparently a "renown Japanese violinist" with the same name: http://www.akiraifukube.org/violin_concerto_2.htm.

小林啓泰: This page lists a "Hiroyasu Kobayashi" with several other performers from here, but without instruments listed: http://www.iyobetomiji.jp/album/comm...er10years.html.

茂木新六: 新六 can be read "Shinroku," so I suspect this is an error for 茂木新, Shinroku Mogi: http://www.f-kreis.com/guest1.htm.

小林行雄 / 小橋行雄: Four-character Chinese names are pretty rare (although definitely possible). 小林 is usually Kobayashi and 小橋 is usually Kobashi, so the similarity makes me think you're right and one is a typo for the other. As for which one of the two is right, I have no idea!
