More quotes by Nobuo Uematsu
For over ten years or so game music has developed into a very large market.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
So I don't really have a clear plan, in terms of music, as to where I want to head in the future.
Nobuo Uematsu
I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
It was very difficult to startle or surprise someone with a particular sound during the family computer era.
Nobuo Uematsu
Games are considered to be in the sub-culture category, coming under movies, coming under manga or comics or animation, especially in Japan.
Nobuo Uematsu
I receive more fan mail from the females.
Nobuo Uematsu
There's some familiarity in Celtic music, even if you've never heard that piece of music before.
Nobuo Uematsu
I have been interested in Irish traditional music for the past few years.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
Nobuo Uematsu
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.
