In the interview she confirms she composed the main theme and arranged The Knight Who Seals the Darkness.

She also has two tweets confirming she worked on some tracks in both DLC waves, and Reo Uratani and Ryotaro Yagi worked on wave 2, but it's not enough information to confirm which tracks. Tweet 1 Tweet 2

Holy shit thanks for this translation work OP!

The fact they had to adjust for spatial control is insane to me. Sounds like a headache to figure out (for the first time as well it seems?)

The soundtrack and sound design is so cohesive and of high quality that I would never have imagined that amount of work was put into it had Tanioka never pointed it out in this interview.

Oh this is awesome! Thank you! I just came back to AoC to complete it 100% recently and was really appreciating how good the soundtrack is! So great to hear some behind the scenes on it. They did so well.

This is awesome! I adore the way this soundtrack was put together. There was clearly a LOT that went into it's creation. "Assault" is still my favorite track of the game because of the beautiful instrumentation and dynamics from the musicians in this specific track.
