The Genesis port lists Emi Shimizu as the composer. Not sure if she simply ported it or was the arcade's original composer as well.

I don't know if it helps, but she's also listed as the composer of High Seas Havoc.

I added Emi as composer for the set... Not 100% sure though.

I don't think Emi composed this. It has different music. I can tell the NES version uses some of the motif from the Side Pocket song.

you're right, this was way before she joined. I'll put Unknown as the artist.

Unknown composer seems to be best choice. Not sure if Azusa Hara and/or Hiroaki Yoshida were involved. Could be the same unknown composer of Karnov, Darwin 4078, Breakthru and Shootout, also by Data East.

Needs to be fixed to sound like this:

Speaking of Darwin 4078, from what I could find, the game was developed and composed by a man named Tomo Furukawa, who later had a band called Guniw Tools...

It should be noted that Clear 1 is actually an unused song. I played the game and tried many different scenarios to get the song play, but it never does play. Only Clear 2 is played.

Also, Michiya Hirasawa is credited in the game's ROM, so that confirms him for the sound driver. As for the music, I'm not familiar with his music, so I'm not sure.
