Good review as always! I didn't notice that some tracks from the first were reprised in the sequel. (That might be because, like you, I thought some of the tracks were not very memorable.) Legend of Eldean has a lot of good tracks (I'm a fan of the two main themes especially), so I look forward to your next review!

I think "Wondering for Mates" might be a weird translation of "Searching for Friends" (like one of Final Fantasy 6's overworld themes), but haven't been able to verify that.

Don't worry about breaks! I don't think anyone minds, considering that you're doing this as a hobby.

Oh, and just a quick note, but I read somewhere (I can't remember where exactly) that the PSX game Kodaka worked on was a remake of an older game with a different composer, so there might (I'm not sure) be limited contribution from Kodaka himself.
