This is horrifying and disturbing news. With such a low birth rate and dwindling supply of young people, video game music veterans (Nobuo Uematsu etc) will be unable to pass on their skills and experience to the next generation, assuming one will exist in the first place.
How will the increasing gap between Japan's elderly and youth population affect Japanese video game music output?
Or is this the beginning of the end of Japanese video game music as we know it?
