HiI know Yutaka Kaneshiro likes Classical, as I do, and I think he has a great appreciation for Jazz, also. I like the new arrangement for “sing,sing,sing” as noticed in this video. I think it was time for a change, but who am I to say whats what. The band does justice to all their band arrangements. My 5 yen worth

DET,
I fully agree with you on the possible preferences of Kaneshiro-sensei. We can see by the result of its work in both styles.
Besides, it seems to me quite versatile, because he walks well even in the most pop style. In all cases, he is very committed to details.
