I can vouch for Hirano and Senda being two different people. As I have stated before, Hirano is friends with me, but Senda will not accept. Both Senda and Saki Kasuga make comments and posts on his wall. All three are supervised by Yuka Tsujiyoko whom did score most of the games that they seem to be leading the scores with now. Like most other Nintendo series, such as Zelda from being done by Kondo to his subordinates of composers.
Oddly, Junichi Nakatsuru is friends with the IS composers. I noticed that Nakatsuru befriended Yuka first which probably led to the other friendship. I believe that Yuka and Junichi went to Osaka U. together, but not in the same class though. Many animators, illustrators, singers, composers, directors, actors, designers, come from that university. Nintendo has kept very close ties with that university.
