However in countries outside of Japan I think game music is still a potential growth market that has not yet developed to the extent that we are seeing in Japan.

We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.

And its very strange, but I think there is something very common - not only in Celtic music - but there is a factor or element in Celtic music that is similar in music that we find in Japan, the United States, Europe, and even China and other Asian countries.

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

For over ten years or so game music has developed into a very large market.

Games are considered to be in the sub-culture category, coming under movies, coming under manga or comics or animation, especially in Japan.

As you may know my use of Celtic music is extremely simple and short. However there is something about it that will remain in your mind for a long, long time.
