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

Well, rather than to give you my impression on Los Angeles, per se, my older sister's husband is and American, therefore I have a pretty good idea of the, perhaps the characteristics of Americans in general.

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

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

And it's 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.

However in countries outside of Japan I think game music is still a potential growth market that has not yet developed to the extent that we are seeing in Japan.

I always begin to compose the melody first.

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 guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.

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

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

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

Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.

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.

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.

The second album of Black Mages is currently in the process of recording and the basic tracks have already been completed. Hopefully sometime in the future we will be able to have a concert.

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.

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

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.

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.

When you talk about the Final Fantasy series, the series started selling better after 7, and that was the base idea for the center of the set list for the LA concert.

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

I believe that there are many interesting projects that are potentially possible for me other than game music, and therefore in my mind there are several things that are being contemplated.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

I like what I hear as a resulting combination of these two strands... something of a combination of familiarity and, for lack of a better word, strangeness.

Familiarity with evil breeds not contempt but acceptance.

Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.

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

Marriage must incessantly contend with a monster that devours everything: familiarity.

People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement.

Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.

Accessing capital to start a business can be a daunting process, especially for entrepreneurs who start out with a great idea, but have no real familiarity with the business world.

I don't see how they can with most of my pieces, but I think it's unfortunate that they can through familiarity with flashy performances of a great deal of other music.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and familiarity breeds contempt. According to this my soul mate should be in Thailand.

Great affection is often the cause of violent animosity. The quarrels of men often arise from too great a familiarity.

Admiration and familiarity are strangers.

Part of the advantage, and part of the result of trying to be a producer and director, are the practical things, you find. It's so advantageous to go to a place that you already have a feel for, a literal and spiritual familiarity.

You need to have a redesign because familiarity breeds a kind of complacency.

Bobby Fischer has an enormous knowledge of chess and his familiarity with the chess literature of the USSR is immense.

Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration.

She claimed she loved the camera, its warmth, its familiarity. She responded to its naked glare, its slavish attention to every expression of her face and body, with the kind of immediacy a trusted lover could expect.

I feel like I'm stepping into a place of spiritual contemplation every time I enter a studio; it's always had a certain magic to me that has never worn off with familiarity.

He surprised me by his familiarity with details of movements and battles which I did not suppose had come to his knowledge. As he kept me talking for over half an hour, I flattered myself that what I had to say interested him.

I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity.

My philosophy is familiarity breeds contempt.

If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.
