      -It seems Capcom made a mistake for looking down on Shimomura's capabilities. Well, it's their loss.

      -Seriously though, I really like Shimomura's works, she composed some of the nicest pieces I've ever heard.

      -I'm glad that Square recruited her (and to think I didn't really appreciate that fact till Kingdom Hearts), especially now that Uematsu and Hamauzu have left.

      I love Yoko Shimomura's Music. I bought the Soundtrack CD's for number 1 and 2. They were great! And still are!

      I agree! I love the music so much! Yoko Shimomura does such a good job of combining the original Disney wiht his own touch.

      Um, dude, that's Capcom, not SEGA.

      I love Yoko Shimomura's music, it's so beautiful. I think she did a great job capturing the feel of the Disney Worlds in her music, and her original pieces are just as good.

      EDIT: Oops... I meant original as in pieces composed for a non-Disney world. Should've been clearer, my bad.

      Miss Shimomura is the greatest composer I have ever heard music from. I'm totally serious. I almost cried after hearing Somnus Nemoris for the first time. Her music is beautiful, and she deserves every ounce of praise she receives for it.

      Alright...fixed! Seriously though, I don't know why I did that (probably because of Bayonetta...). Anyway, sorry SEGA...but the thing is that doesn't matter which company did it, it's still their loss for not appreciating Shimomura's talent.
      -Thanks again for pointing out my mistake.

      Shimomura is basically a god. ;o

      But I like that she mentioned the Hollow Bastion theme -- that was a really standout track for me, and I think it's cool that it was important to her.

      ...Please tell me that's a typo ._.;;
      Anyway, I seriously cannot imagine KH without her. Yoko Shimomura's brilliant <3

      Well, it seems they have learned their lesson, because she will compose for the Last Ranker.
