Mostly agree, though 1-07 totally sounds like Tamura. Tend to disagree with 1-08, 2-08, 4-02 and 4-08. As for the block of rather simple brass and/or bells tracks (1-21, 2-19~21, 3-08, 3-16, 4-05) I used to link them to Sakuraba, but they could go either way.

Heavy orchestr-y tracks I don't think Tamura does much? (1.08, 1.21, 2.01, 2.08, 4.05, etc)
Seems to me he likes this basic mood pad/brass chord but no actual brass (ex unlike 1.21, 2.20, etc).

Some comments:
- 1.04 + 3.08: very basic to discern, but similar chorus is used in 4.08/4.09 and others
- 1.06 + 1.07: Tamura pairs (see 1.10+1.17+1.19)
- 1.15: also in Abyss 1.29 / Destiny 1.16
- 1.25 + 2.07 + 3.14: minigame music, Tamura-ish.
- 4.02: Tenshou Gakuen 1.15
- 4.12: too basic, but similar "Sakuraba heavies": Tenshou Gakuen 2.03 2.12, Duel Masters 09
While "Tamura heavies" go more into awful loops (3.04, Graces' legendary 1.20)

Worth comparing Tenshou Gakuen (by Sakuraba alone) since it uses similar intrumentation and melodies.


Sakuraba:
Disc 1: 1-3, 4?, 5, 8, 9, 11-14, 18, 20, 21
Disc 2: 1, 4, 8-10, 17-21, 23, 24
Disc 3: 1, 3, 5, 6, 8?, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20-24, 26-29
Disc 4: 2-11, 12?, 13-21

Tamura:
Disc 1: 6, 7, 10, 15, 16?, 17, 19, 22-25, 26?
Disc 2: 2, 3, 5-7, 11-16, 22
Disc 3: 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 25
Disc 4: 1


There is a missing track btw, an intrumental version of "good night" (OP theme) used in an event.

The title changes at some point in the game, and the music along with it.

Rebirth is definitely worth a try, best sprite works and still the best unique game design mechanics in the series. Also the worst story, so it's actually fine if you don't understand Japanese.
