Steven Lee, Jimmy Richard & Tc Carter

Some of you may have looked at the title of this thread and gone, "Huh?"

Well, that was my exact reaction when I first discovered these names where I did. I bought the OST for Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters (aka the international version of the Kai-Buu arc) on the French iTunes store, and these are the names that came pre-loaded with the file when one clicks on a song and follows the following path: "Get info---->Details---->composer."

So, ummm........what.....exactly.....are those names doing there? Is this an iTunes glitch, or do the credits of The Final Chapters list those names somewhere?

UPDATE: Well, it turns out it's not all the songs, Sumitomo is listed as the composer in many of them, but those three names are still mentioned in some of the songs. And, upon further investigation, even more seemingly out of place names turned up. The track, "Kintoun," lists Steven Lee, Yannis Constantinou & Kim Bergseth.

.....What the.....?

ONE LAST UPDATE: By now, it's becoming apparent to me that there are a number of names other than Sumitomo in these files. The track, "Reviving Majin Buu," credits Bong Jun Oh & Eun Jong Tae, and another track credits Nail Athale & Dee Adams. So, bottom line, there are a lot of names that aren't Sumitomo being associated with these files, and perhaps the most curious ones are the Western-sounding names. My original question, of what these names are doing there, still hasn't changed, I just figured I'd point out that it's not just the original three that I mentioned in the thread topic title.

Maybe Sumitomo has western understudies? That or whoever uploaded the files messed something up?

Well, Google hasn't revealed much, but it has revealed a little, and what little it has revealed has only served to raise more questions.

-A lot of these names, including Steven Lee, Jimmy Richard, and TC Carter, appear to be associated with the Japanese album, "Unlimited"...by Korean singer Kim Hyun-joong. And that's just the Wikipedia entry. Googling some of the other names also associates them with Hyun-joong.

-Steven Lee is a Korean-American music producer.

Perhaps it's a similar situation to the Bruce Faulconer score, where Bruce Faulconer is credited as the composer despite only composing a few songs himself and leaving the rest to a team of his? Ever since the Music Scandal with Kai, I can't help but look at the music situation with Dragon Ball with a little more scrutiny than I otherwise might have.
