Default Yasuaki Fujita (#189)

Yasuaki Fujita had no active role in Mega Man 4.
Observe:
http://www.hcn.zaq.ne.jp/first_circl...n_shoukai.html - Yasuaki Fujita's list of works from his web site.

Under the Famicom (FC) section, he only lists four games:

-ロックマン3 (Rockman 3/Mega Man 3)
-天地を食らう2 (Tenchi wo Kurau 2) / 天地を喰らう2~諸葛孔明伝~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WSi4q1qrn8#t=3m27s) --> I can't tell who the three people at 3:42 are, however
-リトルマーメイド (The Little Mermaid)
-ダークウィングダック (Darkwing Duck)

Because Fujita didn't list it among other games where he definitely handled both music and sound effects (i.e. Rockman 3), just music (i.e. Final Fight 2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImU1YDo1Wu4#t=1m08s]), or just sound effects and programming (i.e. Blazing Star [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZPU1EMUvsA#t=2m23s]), I can now safely conclude that Minae Fujii composed all of 4's music as well as the new sound effects (i.e. "Menu choice cancel" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TjIEl6IrEA at 0:03])

Yasuaki Fujita, therefore, must only be there for carried-over sound effects, much like Manami Matsumae's sound effects from 1 were originally intended to be used in 2, thus the credit remained. This is supported by the fact that 移植作業 (porting) roles found under the JAVA, PS, PS2, SS, D-CAST sections are also included, suggesting that all of his roles are present here.


Whatever reason he was listed in Mega Man 4's credits, it certainly wasn't for anything he did. He clearly shows that he was not involved with that game at all.
