He’s mostly known for his stuff while at Tri-Ace: Star Ocean and the like, but has also done a few sports games for Nintendo - namely Mario Golf and Tennis.
In so far as works outside of games, I think you pretty much got it. He has a rock album called Gikyokuonsou.
This roguelite Metroidvania surprised me with how well the randomized mechanics blended with exploration, and this track gives plenty of atmosphere to the third biome.
A turn-based rpg about travel and discovery in a very shonen kind of way. Now that I think about it, Skies takes a page or two from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Anyway, one of the early lands has some of the most memorable music....
Adam Freeland "Fear (Go-Go-GST Remix)" | Rez (yewtu.be)
The Rez version is great, and this remix is even better....
Mega Man X "Brainsick Metal" OC ReMix (ocremix.org)
Savaged Regime "Perimeter (Arranged)" | Xeno Crisis (yewtu.be)
pokes head out from behind a flood of posts...
Akira Ifukube (probably?) "Vs. King Ghidorah" | Godzilla: Monster of Monsters (yewtu.be)
If you search “Godzilla NES remix” it’s about impossible to find actual music and not creepypasta stuff.
"Anxiety" (Orchestrated remix) | Castlevania III (yewtu.be)
I think this song benefits from having modern samples. Live instrument versions also generally sound good.
Motoi Sakuraba "Leap the Precipice" | Eternal Sonata (yewtu.be)
I need to actually finish this game. 😅
Dan Forden "Dead Pool" (Paul Unfaces remix) | Mortal Kombat II (yewtu.be)
Apart from just a cool remix, it’s a nice glitch demonstration / behind the scenes compilation....

Yasunori Mitsuda, Nobuo Uematsu "Corridors of Time" | Chrono Trigger (www.youtube.com)

Killer Instinct - Village of Whispers - [Mick Gordon] (youtu.be)
Paul Leonard-Morgan "Death Comes for All" | W40k: Dawn of War III (yewtu.be)
Too bad the game tried to push people toward a multiplayer that nobody wanted or liked to unlock single player content....

Tomoya Ohtani et al. "Dropaholic" (Lame Genie Metal ver.) | Sonic Frontiers (yewtu.be)
The Frontiers ost, and esp. the cyberspace stages are amazing as-is, but yeah, I can get down with this.

Andrew Hulshult "Spent Fuel" | Prodeus (yewtu.be)
Prodeus might have been the first time in a while that I had a great time in an fps....
Mike Morasky "Don't Do It" (Alex Giudici Remix) | Portal 2 (yewtu.be)
The long, brooding original by Moraski is given a similarly dark and insidious treatment with heavy synths and punchy bass....
