The comment by Taguchi et al. on our Letter about the importance of atomic contributions to the 2p and 3p x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of ionic transition metal materials claims that we have "made serious misconceptions on" their calculations. They also criticize our work because we have not used empirical parameters to improve our agreement with experiment. We disagree with their criticisms.
