I think that American people really know how to pursue fun, they really know how to have a good time. Japanese are somewhat more reserved than Americans, so I'm jealous.

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.

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

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.

I receive more fan mail from the females.

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

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