Some of the songs I really like from Uematsu weren't played at the concert. Usually just the most popular songs are played. Also, some songs I really didn't like were played (I loathe the "Eyes on Me" pop song). I'm not sure if all were done by him. I will say he is a very cool person, at least from the way he connected with the audience. I didn't pay extra for the VIP pre-show meeting, but he was nice enough to address the entire audience and take questions at the end. There are a lot of recordings of his music too, some with strings, some just piano.
I'm not sure the popular music for the really young set should be used as an example of what people want to hear. One, like stated above, it changes really fast, and two, I think a lot of people's musical tastes change when they mature more. Sure I still like Nirvana. I don't still like Tag Team.
Anyhow, just because a song is familiar isn't a guarantee of the audience liking it either. In my high school concert band we would always play the same set of songs between plays (Can't touch this, Not gonna take it, etc.), which people do recognize, but I'm fairly sure the audience hated it as much as the band hated playing it.
