The staff roll for Contra Hard Corps lists the following names for "Sound Works":

H - Devi Kobayashi
Akiropito
Miyaoka Kenji
Chiru2 Yamane
Gajokai
Nitachigu

Just wondering if there is confirmation anywhere that proves those last two aliases belong to Akira Yamaoka and Hirofumi Taniguchi?

Huh. I'm sure this is a stupid question, and someone will be quick to educate me, but why is a Canadian Copyright Database an authority on information about Japanese games?

Well, the Canadian government didn't just make up that information. Those are the names Konami submitted when they copyrighted it so it's just as official as anything else they release to the West, and possibly with even more care taken since it's legal information.

Arranger and performer info was found in the credits sequence for Hard Corps: Uprising.

would be great a track breakdown artist on "Contra: The Hard Corps" :/

Jungle arrange is actually jake Kaufman's "Jungle" theme "Contra: Dual Spirits" same for "Stage01_Active" which is "Jungle" theme arrange too.

I think there are more in here that Daisuke arranged from other contra games. But I need help to accurately find that out.

Jake Kaufman didn't compose that. It's from the very first Contra game in the arcades, and one of the more famous themes from the series. I'm not a hardcore expert on Contra music, but I'd say roughly half of Contra 4's score consists of arrangements from Contra and Super Contra.

By the way, what's your source for Norichika Sato only arranging tracks 1-57 and 2-01? He's given a general arrangement credit in the staff roll.

I am no contra expert too. But now that you mention that, I was indeed feeling that I already that track, and I never eve saw NDS Contra game.

I assumed he arranged those from original tracks.
Why the hell the booklet does not give any info of the composers???

I don't think so. This is in stock at Amazon Japan right now (will be gone very soon, probably) and sold through Egg Music, but still, it cannot be shipped to the U.S. Many Falcom CDs were like this when first in stock, and slowly, Amazon JP started delivering them overseas.

This item is very hard to obtain, by the way. I've already tried once to get one from AMZ JP, through Shopping Mall Japan, and it sold out before they could make a purchase.

In regards to the recent Moon: Remix RPG release. Hirofumi Taniguchi confirmed with me through our emails he remembers his composition and that it was only track 8.
