The article in my opinion generally satisfies GA criteria: it is well written, well sourced has good images. However I noticed a few problems:
 * 1) I thing 'Legacy' is inappropriate name for a section of the article about a living person. One usually speaks about legacy of a person who has already died and whose all deeds were in the past. However Sakimoto is quite young—he is only 40! I think this section, which is really about his participation in concerts, should be called "Participation in concerts" or something like that.
 * 2) I want to see more about his personal background: Who were his parents? Is he married? Does he have children? Where was his high school? (in Tokyo?). Where does he live now? etc.
 * 3) The title of ref2 is 'Profile', but should be 'Hitoshi_Sakimoto: profile'.
 * 4) The same with ref5.

 * My responses-


 * 1 - Hmm, you're right, "legacy" doesn't have the right connotation. Changed it to "Performances", which doesn't quite cover what I'm trying to say with the sheet music books, but I'll think of something as I use the term in all of the composer bios that I write.
 * 2 - I would too! The problem is, and I don't know if it's a Japanese cultural thing or a problem with English interviewers, is that he had never said anything about his personal life at all in anything I've found. What's in this article is literally everything that I could find about him- I really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to fill in these "early life" sections for Japanese composers.
 * 3 - Fixed.
 * 4 - Fixed.

 * I should admit that I has been unable to find anything about his background as well, so I will promote the article. Ruslik_ Zero 14:00, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
