Thank you both. It was along the same lines of what I originally thought. But you're right, some arranger's have very distinct sounds. I think it's easier with Ayu's songs to determine the arranger, whereas the composer would be harder to figure out. What I don't understand is why Ayu never has the same composer and arranger for one song (except for 'a song is born'). I mean, why couldn't the composer do the work of the arranger? They both seem like very similar fields of expertise. tasuku, who is known for arranging many of Ayu's rockish songs, composed 'fairyland', but didn't arrange it. It's weird.
