Sakuraba is regularly contracted for composing work through his own TEAM Entertainment, a company founded in 1999 to promote and license the work of artists.
With respects to his musical style, Sakuraba takes the baroque and melodic Japanese progressive rock of the 1980s and expands it with his own trademark complex rhythms, emotional flutes, use of male choir and heavy reverb. The lighter side of his style is a crossover between symphonic progressive rock, cinematic orchestra and new age. Sakuraba is also known for introducing many jazz-like improvisations to his music style. In recent years he has made a serious effort toward expanding his style even further.

At least Sakurai loves the Mother series, even if Nintendo doesn't

The guy who does things
@I Am Yes they did, look at the start of mother 3 and the end credits of earthbound. Itoi started with a small team, and Iwata himself joining in halfway trough. Then in earthbound he got hal labratory and brownie brown(1UP studio) Iwata still helping with the games. And mother 3 was the same, ex to people except Iwata was absent for most of it itoi having to do it himself more, Iwata was the only person at nintendo who wanted to localise mother 3, but not the last. Reggie himself wanted to localise mother 3 but the higher ups said no. Sakurai put him in the original smash brothers as a fun reference for Mother fans. Then Lucas was added (almost replaced Ness) in smash brawl, back when there was hope of localization. And this is the history of Ness and Lucas in smash.
