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.

It was very difficult to startle or surprise someone with a particular sound during the family computer era.

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.

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

I believe that there are still people who believe that game music is something equal to just an effect incorporated into the game, something like a BGM. And therefore this is something that I would like to show that is not true.

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

And as far as the Disney Concert hall is concerned, it is a wonderful modern structure and I am extremely honored that I had this opportunity to have a concert here.
