I always begin to compose the melody first.

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 think that that's sad.

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.

Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.

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

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.

However now we can create a sound that can truly startle someone and in terms of sound effects I think the environment that we are in now has improved dramatically.
