I have reached Yuki nirvana
So, we have had Haruka Shimotsuki and a couple of other composers for discussion in this branch. I think it a thing of justice to mention one more composer whose music bears a certain (sometimes astonishing) similarity to Yuki's - to the point that, first having listened to all of Future Soundscape, I couldn't help comparing it to Oldfield, whom I had known from longer before. 
In my list, he's the only composer to share the same laurels with Yuki.
Mike plays about 30 instruments (but none with the perfection he reached at guitar playing) and during his long career he's composed in most of existing genres and forms. Like Yuki, he prefers to leave singing to others (mostly females ), although he sings in the background sometimes and has one album where he did sing by himself. His short instrumentals are the part which shares most common features with Yuki. These two seem to compose different melodies, but with a similar touch. 
What is MOST COMMON about them is the ability to create beautiful and interesting music.
BTW, Mike rarely uses violin (he can't play it), but his guitar sound is very recognisable and on high pitches sometimes resembles violin sounds. On the other hand, Yuki includes violins that sometimes are played in an electric guitar manner. :aww:
As far as I know, Mike doesn't use any "Oldfieldish" language of his own, using Gaelic and Zulu instead :bwahaha:
His music stock is vast, and anyone can find something to like there. That's about it.

I wish it were longer... :aww:
