Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.

I have been interested in Irish traditional music for the past few years.

I don't know anyone who would be exclusively working on game music, per se.

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

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.

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.

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.
