I wanna see those guys, too, but not as much as Uematsu. Since I've been playing Tri-Ace games, yeah maybe Sakuraba. I'm starting to like him. But I don't play enough DQ to appreciate Sugiyama that much. he's ok, i guess. I know who he is and what his style is. I wonder why they didn't really cover them in Play!. Maybe not popular enough over here.
Actually Nobuo showed up at the Chicago one. There were more composers there than at the Toronto one. At Toronto we had to watch a video of Koji Kondo. But yeah, he must not like Detroit or something. I remember hearing about Dear Friends being in Detroit and they're like, "Uematsu didn't want to come here! HAHAHAHA!"
