I couldn't choose favorite tracks from Kato because there are so many lol, but I think his most accomplished works imo are Free! (especially 3rd Season), Hanebado! and maybe Shokugeki no Soma. Buddy Complex was actually the second album I listened from him, so yeah, "Coupling Sequence" is a classic. I like the 3 "Enemy Attack (Paradox)" tracks!, but my favorite is the first one (3.7) . I'm a sucker for minimalism+layering, plus that transition to 5/4 makes it even more interesting.
One of the things that I like the most from his music, which I consider very valuable, is the way he writes for strings orchestra. In tracks like "Tenth Seat" from Shokugeki no Soma or "Time of Happiness" from Mirai Nikki, he manages to make every single part of the orchestra to shine in the musical speech, instead of just being violins and accompainment. It feels like everyone has something important to say, and that's something I try to put into my music (in my own way). Also love his more rhytmic/contrapuntal pieces, like "A Desperate Battle" from Hanebado!, or something more square as "The Chefs on the Battlefield" from Shokugeki no Soma.
His concert was pretty good (although it felt short but hopefully he'll do another one with a longer performance this year), and there was more people attending the concert than I expected (I mean, his popularity only started to grow a couple of years ago, with the Love Live! Sunshine!! 4th Live Concert). I'm excited for his new work on the upcoming original mecha SAKUGAN . It was about time Kato got an action/mecha anime again.
I've been listening to Kato since 2014, glad to meet more people who is into his music! Did you watch his online concert?
Likewise, I also had a time watching it :) It was pretty unique. I CANNOT get Bajar and Anise_Punter to watch it, even though they loved the Cartado episode and the "mumumumumu" song. Not that I think they'd like Pop in Q, but it's something moe fans should be aware of.
Well that's a good way to start xD
