Just beautiful.
I believe Kikuta has stated he owns the rights to this music. I hope someday he decides to release it!
It seems that the Western edit version of the show (in various languages) uses completely different music than the original Japanese version.

Trying to track down composer information for the Western version has proven difficult. Here's a staff roll for a Russian dub of the French version:

That credits "Village Production London" for the music, which isn't very helpful. The music credit might also just be for the theme song.
Then there's this, an English dub of the
Italian version with Arabic subs (confused yet?). There's a totally different staff roll sequence, but it uses a karaoke version of the Japanese ending theme. Two names are credited for the music: T.M. Wilson & W. A. Nabb. "Village Production London" is credited for "Musical Edition", a role I have never heard of nor have any insight into its purpose.

So basically the foreign edits of this show are completely messed up. The original Japanese (
and Italian?) BGM, however, is very clearly the work of Kikuta. But, I don't see his name specifically in the credits. I don't know if the kanji we have on his artist page is for "Hiroki Kikuta" or "Yuuki Kikuta". However, there doesn't seem to be a specific credit for "music composition" either, just the theme song composition. It would be great if someone with greater knowledge of Japanese than I could have a look:
