It is NOT unusual for people to leave a company if they expect a promotion and don't get it.

Iwata was elevated. Maybe Shinichi Shimomura expected to be promoted within HAL, was passed over or not even considered, and resigned in protest and left gaming altogether.

It happens.

I got an "answer"

Says my source: Shinichi Shimomura is a male and they don't believe he's dead, that he just left. Nobody knows why. Nobody was close with him. Nobody even knew if he had a family or not.

All they gave me so far. I sent a follow up asking if anyone WOULD know..

Game
KH Melody of Memory

I love music games and while KHIII soured me a bit, I'll always love KH, it's so nostalgic. This is a celebration of the whole series but mostly of Shimomura who's truly the MVP of the franchise. Very polished with nice presentation & tons of songs!
