Nobuo Uematsu Games Quotations

Game Boy is something that I would like to make something for.

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.

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 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.

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

I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.

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

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

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.

After the fantastic support received at the first concert in Los Angeles, I am thrilled and honored to extend the experience to Chicago. I'm looking forward to sharing the moments with those who love the music and games of FINAL FANTASY.

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 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.
