Default Final Fight 2 Composer Discussion

Well, since i know this kind of stuff is accepted, i decided i would go on with a FF2 composer discussion. This is one i have been interested in since i came except back then i didn't know if it was accepted to talk about something that has no album, but i've seen some people do it here, so i figured, why not do one of this game? lol

Anyway, to those who don't know, the composers to the game are:

Yasuaki Fujita(Bun Bun)
Mari Yamaguchi
Setsuo Yamamoto
Yuko Takehara(Kadota at the time the game was made)
Yuki Iwai(Yuki Satomura when game was made)

So, i'll just get down to business what i can pick out, cause some i can tell, some i can speculate, and some i can't tell yet.

Bun Bun: Well, with him, the one song that i feel is definitely his is "Bears are Hiding in the Woods". For one, after listening to Rockman 3, i get a jist on his composition style, can't exactly explain it, but from what i can pick out, this song sounds like that same style, also has a similar sound and feeling to Gemeni Man from RM3. Considering he's at the top of the list, perhaps he's the one that made the intro themes? I can't really say, just an idea. I'd have to see more from him to tell which else he might have done.

Mari: Well, i am not too familiar with her work, but i suspect she might have done "No Time to Lose"? I can't make any claims with her as i don't recognize her style quite yet.

Setsuo: One song that i feel 99% certain is his is "Sleep Junk Down" For one, the bass style sounds very much like something he could do. It has that similar tone to it to songs like Adon's theme, and i think it shares mostly the same beat as Gambit's theme from X-Men MA as well as many other similarities to the theme, like the mood and the melodic style, and one part does resemble a part in Adon's theme, listen to them back to back and you might just pick out what it is. As for anything else i can't exactly tell, Creeping Wheeping possibly? Can't say.

Yuko: No song in the game sounds like her usual style here, so i really can't say, exactly. The song "Finished" i think is definitely her's due to the percussion style. Spit on the floor also comes to mind, i am unsure with this one but i also suspect "Carve a Dragon Wood" could possibly be her's too? The song is energetic and upbeat and shares similarities with Gambit's theme from X-Men vs Street Fighter on one part. The bass also sounds like something i could see her using. But i also wonder if setsuo yamamoto might have done the song too, but i lean more towards Yuko with this one.

Yuki: This one seems easier than some others. Two i definitely feel like are her's are "Fret Street Beat Beat" and "Lift Fighter II" FSBB, well, when i first heard that song, all i could think of was "Street Fighter III", she was responsible for working on that game's music, to those who don't know that. And LFII, that song sounds like Rockman X2 to me, same bass style, and the end part really strikes me as when Yuki used that brass, like in Goof Troop.

Anyway, this is my take on the whole thing. Anyone else have idea, feel free to hand them out.
