 * Comment. I'll do some more searching later, but the JP wikipedia page says that he won "awards of excellence" for his music for Rampo (film) and for Kin'yu fushoku retto Jubaku at the Japan Academy Prize (film). Apparently, by their system, all the nominees in a category receive the award, and only one gets the main award. I will add these to the article, with citations. I also found an obituary.

 * Keep – Winning an award, even a second-rate award as described above, is still enough to make him notable, especially with all the sources that have been found. Bensci54 (talk) 01:28, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. I searched some more and while there are not a lot of articles on the net about him (there may be more in print), I was able to confirm one more award nomination. I added that and some other information to the article. I think it is now sufficient to pass notability requirements. Michitaro (talk) 02:33, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The references added by Michitaro now show that the subject satisfies the basic notability criteria. --DAJF (talk) 02:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
