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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
