Soundtracks in general may be suitable for the 'easy going listener', but that doesn't mean they can't be suitable for any 'advanced listener' either. Personally, I don't think Chihiro Onitsuka's music is more sophisticated than either Shimomura's or Hisaishi's. If you want 'sophisticated music', I got loads (*points to Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Merzbow, Dillinger Escape Plan etc. CDs*), but I don't always feel the need to buy something 'sophisticated'. Yet, I don't think the music for Kingdom Hearts is light-hearted or simplistic; I actually think it's quite brilliant.
