Composer makes melodies and basic concept.
Arranger puts instruments together and the chorus/verse order, etc.

E.g. HEAVEN piano version is kind of the composition, and then the arranger goes and turns it into the HEAVEN album version with all the instruments etc.

You can pretty much tell the difference between arrangers. E.g. tasuku has very bland sounding instrumentations with not much going on, like In The Corner and Beautiful Day. But Yuta Nakano has very busy and awesome arrangements, like HEAVEN, Mirrorcle World, rainy day and decision. There are a lot of instrumental things going on in those songs. ^^
