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

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.

I just initiated the project where I write music for somebody else to write the lyrics and also for the orchestra to perform. I've just initiated the project. That leads the project into creating an independent label outside of game music.

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

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

I receive more fan mail from the females.

Last year in Germany at a town hall in Leipzig there was a game music concert played by the orchestra and some of the Final Fantasy scores were played. This year there is another concert scheduled in the same location, for game music.
