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.

As you may know my use of Celtic music is extremely simple and short. However there is something about it that will remain in your mind for a long, long time.

Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.

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.

However, very recently I have come to an understanding that complex music is not necessarily pleasant.

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

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