The booklet of the Shenmue soundtrack (Original Sound Track / シェンムー / 一章 横須賀) lists the composers ("Sound Creator") of all except these two pieces:

  • Flower Girl (disc 1, track 17)
  • 受け継がれし技 (disc 2, track 12)
    • AKA: Receive a Skill to Succeed

Who composed these?

The composers listed for the other tracks are Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, Yuzo Koshiro, Takeshi Yanagawa, Osamu Murata, and Ryuji Iuchi.

    This is a very good question. It seems that all sources omit the composers for these two particular tracks. I would be curious to learn who is behind those compositions. – MMM Mar 18 '15 at 10:15
  • It's most likely the composers listed on the other songs. – Jacob Swanson Sep 24 '15 at 3:43

Flower Girl was composed by Ryuji Iuchi

Receive a Skill to Succeed was composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi

Source: http://tk-nz.game.coocan.jp/ysmusic/yk-2/cd/cd_yk2_shm_ost.html (look for composer column)

Flower Girl - 井内竜次 (translates to Ryuji Iuchi)

受け継がれし技 (Receive a Skill to Succeed) - 光吉猛修 (translates to Takenobu Mitsuyoshi)

You can get to the same results by analysing track info from a ripped CD.

Extra: I also found an interesting forum post that includes an interview with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi and more info about the soundtrack in question - http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42297
