New Masaharu Iwata Interview!

Sorry guys, I need to remove these things. Sometimes, the truth of one's ways can get them burned. Gotta keep my thoughts to myself in a world with a chip on it's shoulders.

Please note it's commonly rude to ask if someone is gay, warezer or drug freak at the very least in Japan especially when he/she has a social status, though I know you're serious and it may be polite in your country. Also, even if I hear thier answers to your question, probably it doesn't help me enjoy thier music much more (though it must be interesting, especially for me to know if Iwata is married or has kids). Anyway I never offend you and indeed you have a right to list what you personally wanna ask them, while I have something I'd like to ask them rather than yours.

Then, regarding some questions, could I reply you instead?

1) What MIDI sequencing software do you use to compose? Why?

Sakimoto uses Vision that is now a freeware (Uematsu and Ryuichi Sakamoto, too). Iwata uses Cubase SX3 (interviewed in 2005, when SX4 was not released).

12) Mac or PC? Why?

Sakimoto uses Mac as most of professional composers, though OSX doesn't support Vision. He works with 7-8 PCs including the one installed Windows. Maybe Iwata uses Mac, too.

Say, you are aware of the other composers CocoeBiz represents, right ? Care to comment on those if possible. I'd love to hear your views on Hosoe, Saso, Hayma and Namiki in particular.

Edit: Also, care to comment on other noteworthy composers such as Yasuhisa Watanabe, Hyakutaro Tsukumo, Takayuki Aihara, Kou Hayashi, Daisuke Nagata and Akira Yamaoka. You claimed you've heard over 10 000 hours of VGM in another thread, so you must have heard works by these people.

Note to Fatigue : Feel free to move my post if you feel it's out-of-place.
