I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums..

Like many composers, most of my compositions are influenced by the music I've listened to throughout my life..

I always begin to compose the melody first..

There's some familiarity in Celtic music, even if you've never heard that piece of music before..

So I don't really have a clear plan, in terms of music, as to where I want to head in the future..

Even in Japan, I don't think that the game culture is established. For example, my father will watch movies but games don't appear in his life at all….

I receive more fan mail from the females..

Game Boy is something that I would like to make something for..
