OK, I'm very busy and I don't really have time for this, but I'll write my piece. I understand that I haven't managed to get anything onto the page that shows that this composer is "notable", but I think he is. I was in Japan for a year recently, and everyone I spoke to from a university choir in Japan had heard of this composer. He's quite popular amongst mixed-voice Japanese choirs, especially in universities, and his music is very frequently performed. I was invited to a lot of concerts during the year, and several of them included works by this composer. But I don't have time to write that into the article in an enyclopedically appropriate way, I'm afraid, so delete it if you must. DTOx00:15, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
