With so many high profile composers leaving their companies in the past few months (Hamauzu, Nakano, Yamane, Yamaoka...) and years (and most notably Nobuo Uematsu) and the foundation of Ge-On-Dan, the VGM field in Japan is probably moving from employees to freelance composers! It is for the best, I guess.
What saddens me is that many people--even game "journalists"--tend to think they are leaving because they are angry at their companies, not because they want to work as freelance composers.
