The whole musician on stage is MVP. Not just Takanashi only, the violinist, the chorus singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist etc is the one made Fairy Tail epic.
One thing I really appreciate is that the composer made studio session and upload recording video. This need to be normalise because the composers contributing one important aspect of media in film, series or game: the Background Music
Just want to add something. Of course some people know that Musashi Project and Masuda Toshio were the one who composed Naruto pre time skip. And also Musashi Project is the one who made the Main Theme (this fact also known by some people). Musashi Project is a group of musicians. The known composers behind Musashi Project especially in Naruto IS of course Yasuharu Takanashi himself, Katsunosuke Kobari and many others. Yasuharu Takanashi handle the sad part eg. Sadness and Sorrow while Kobari handling action (Taiko music and stuff). Unfortunately, this fact not known by many people which is that Katsunosuke Kobari (the lead Project Musashi) himself has died pancreatic cancer in 2009. Of course, the original main theme Naruto is actually composed by Kobari. Its kinda bitersweet that Takanashi is lead composer in Shippuden and rearrange main theme during the final battle in Naruto Shippuden. If you have physical disc Naruto Shippuden OST 3, look upon the booklet scan and it says Special Thanks: 小針 克之助 (Katsunosuke Kobari). vgmdb.net/album/58325 (if you dont have booklet)
