Tomonori Sawada

http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/creators/023/002.html 実は、ゲームギア用の『ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ2』にお手伝いでBGMを1曲作ったのがセガに入っての初仕事だったんですよ

This is proof from Sawada himself that he worked on Sonic 2 for Game Gear, which would thereby make him Dawasa (the syllables of his last name backwards). If I'm reading the sentence correctly, he contributed 1 piece of BGM to the game. If his role in Sonic Gems Collection is a sign as to what his involvement was, it is most likely that he probably composed Underground Zone.

Sigh. this kind of information is (one reason) why I really want to see these things properly translated. Do you know anyone who can help with that? - Andlabs 19:15, 24 March 2011 (CDT)
