I was wondering if this would be okay for me to work on, since I've noticed that pretty much everybody involved in the creation of music for a soundtrack goes uncredited in the encyclopedia except for the composer. If so, would a format like this be okay?

[example]
Music:
Maaya Sakamoto (Vocals)
Tsuneo Imahori (Guitar)
Yoko Kanno (Composition)

Vekou, there are plenty of cases in the Encyclopedia where that has already been done - so it's not exactly like there's no precedent for it. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate.

Not that I hesitate much, anyway.

Oh, I was just making an example. Unintentional, I assure you. Maaya and Yoko do fit the part (for that song), but I don't think there's any guitar in that track, so Tsuneo Imahori probably isn't in it. Well, he does play a ton of other instruments, so maybe he is (he is credited on the Wolf's Rain OST).

Thanks for the go-ahead, Abunai.

Okay. *wipes sweat from brow*

Complete music/soundtrack staff (instruments/roles included), in addition to regular staff that were skipped over were added to the following titles between yesterday and today:
- Akira
- Evangelion (TV & End)
- FLCL
- .hack//DUSK
- .hack//Liminality
- .hack//SIGN
- Hellsing
- Irresponsible Captain Tylor
- Rurouni Kenshin OVA (Tsuioku Hen)
- Trigun
- Wolf's Rain

Something amazing to me as I finished up with Wolf's Rain is the amount of non-Japanese music staff. There were musicians from Brazil, Italy, Poland and the United States that contributed pieces to this soundtrack, and boy is it a great soundtrack. I am currently in love with the Raju Ramayya song "Strangers."

Edit: Holy crap, I broke the 1000 mark. 440 of those are from this month alone... o_o; I know others have contributed way more, but I'm still suprised.

Gungrave added today. It's suprising how many of these artists also did were part of the other soundtracks I've put up.
