Is there any interest in updating this? I found this and noticed that the last update was over 7 years ago. I would have a bunch to add.

Looks like a job for wiki magic. I'm at work right now so I can't make a quick Python program to convert it to wiki syntax.

Very cool. :)
I'll start listing stuff here anyways. Ones that are already up are bolded, and may be incomplete or have incorrect information. I haven't done anything fancy like double check everything that's on there, I've just gathered some new ones from game credits (and a couple artists' sites). I will double check, however, everything I've tagged an NSFE for.

I take it real names are preferred over in-credit nicknames when they are known? (Like Shinichi Seya vs. About S.S.). I didn't get to research / convert all nicknames yet, so feel free to change anything like Yuukichan's Papa...

*More complete composer name provided.
**Incorrectly labeled as David Whittaker, and although less important, also has the wrong year.
***Previously credits only Kinuyo Yamashita. Is she one of these people? This is the credit information as it appears in-game, with "Charley-Sada" changed to Kyohei Sada.
****This one is very odd, and the first time I've seen something like this-
The soundtrack is identical across ports, but "Charley Sada" is credited in Stinger. So I thought that Rusher Shinya was a mistake at first, but he is in the Moero Twinbee credits instead! Unless they are the same person, but I'm pretty sure they are not because they have been credited together...?
*****Hmm. I have a different name. I got it straight from the credits if I recall correctly.
******This is already on the list (ctrl f warwolf), although I added the first initials for the composers for good measure.

I have should have some more later on, I'll put those in a new post though.

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (8th Mix) features contributions by DE-SIRE, RevenG, 180, Omega, Naoki, and ZZ. All are nicknames of Naoki MAEDA, and he wrote most of the music you hear in Overplayed. Likewise, Kyle Ward of In the Groove goes by Inspector K, KaW, :-), and others.

But more likely, one of them wrote the music for Stinger and another ported it to another platform.

I was thinking it might be something like that, but if I have it right the game was never released on any other system - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinger_(video_game)

Composer confusion makes sense if someone ports tunes to a new system and composer / sound programmer isn't clearly credited (like Arcade -> NES, etc), but I'm not sure why that would ever happen from Famicom -> NES when there aren't any changes to the music.

Different unions have different rules on who gets credited. The music might have been recompressed to make room for longer English text.

In some cases, the music might have changed but some people might not notice it. Some Famicom mappers can make music, but NES mappers can't because Nintendo never sold the jumper pack for the expansion port. This means the "ZELDA" games ported from FDS (The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. 2) would get an extra sound credit for whoever converted sound effects from FDS to DPCM. It also might depend on what music gets replaced due to copyright disputes; "hidden" tracks might disappear.

Hey everyone, Yoshihiro Sakaguchi is Yuukichan's Papa

Also I'm not sure about kick master I saw consistency in my research for Takahama, Nobuyuki Shioda

I'd like to confirm this if possible

Ed Bogas didn't do all the music to Action 52 and Cheetahmen II. He did do several songs as part of The Music Studio, which the Action 52 developers probably stole. "Fuzz Power / Cheetahmen II Title" was done by Ed Bogas, but there's no evidence that any other song from Cheetahmen II was his work.
But the music engine was taken from Paul Webb.

Also, there's several games missing from this list that were developed by Software Creations (Silver Surfer, Tom & Jerry...)

@thefox: You're right, it isn't him. I talked to Mark Cooksey and he said he composed Dragon's Lair. That was a LONG time ago, I'm surprised I didn't change it. I guess I didn't notice it.

@Dwedit: Nobody's sure if Ed Bogas just composed more tunes for Active Enterprises or if they stole his music. Maybe he was paid to do the music. I tried to talking to him but he refuses to talk about it.
I don't know if it's Paul Webb's audio driver. I ripped some instruments from Action 52 and some Sculptured Software games. The drums aren't the same, and Paul Webb also used the triangle channel for his drums usually. I know I forgot to put some Software Creations games on there. I'm sure there's a million I'm missing. Keep a lookout for differences in the list as I'm updating it. I just added some Color Dreams games (Pesterminator, Sunday Funday/Menace Beach, Robodemons, etc.)

For Rygar (at least Argos no Senshi) I have Michiharu Hasuya. Is that the same person as Michiharu Hasutani?

Yes, Michiharu Hasutani and Michiharu Hasuya are the same. I don't know which last name is real though.

A website named Cheetahmen Corner managed to get an interview with Jay Obernolte, developer of Color A Dinosaur and Genesis Action 52. So talking to people connected with Active Enterprises isn't completely out of the question.
