Ancient is still alive and well, and is based at Yuzo's large
family home in the Tokyo suburbs. Yuzo owns and runs Ancient
himself, and produces its games (and obviously writes the music).
Several of his family members who also worked on early classic Sega
games work there too.
You might also be interested to know that when Yuzo was a teen he
trained with some of the great animation artists and composers in
Japan at Studio Ghibli (Japan's equivalent of Disney, that made
Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke etc).
He does music for selected other games, like Shen Mue, and he
mentioned a CD being released through Square's record label, but I'd
have to find out.
He's also helping me find a new apartment in Tokyo, for when I
move back there in Nov. Joy.

So , he´s just the musician of Ancient , or he´s like Yu Suzuki or
Miyamoto that supervises everything in the game . Ancient is his
own company ?Awesome !!!!!!

He oversees game projects and also management of his sofware
company, sort of like Mizuguchi-san does with the newly formed
United Games Artists (ex Space Channel 5 team).
They're only working on one game at the moment. No idea what it
is, but it's Dreamcast.
