Huge "Game Music Composers Meeting" roundtable discussion hosted by Noisycroak
Here's a HUGE multipage article featuring round-table discussion with many prominent Japanese composers, that was hosted by Noisycroak in June '09.
http://www.noisycroak.co.jp/gmcm/jp/ Attending were Hidenori Shoji, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, Nobuyoshi Sano, Shinji Hosoe, Masato Koda, Yasunori Mitsuda, Takayuki Nakamura, Keisuki Itou, etc.. It'd be a pretty huge job to translate the whole thing, but maybe someone can read and see if there's any highlights or interesting tidbits to share with us. (did Takayuki Nakamura end up with the little golden cup statue for "MVC" Most Valuable Composer on the 3rd page?) Last edited by Carl; Jul 27, 2009 at 11:25 AM. |

Here's a generalized sense of the topics, cobbled from the garbage that Google Translate spits out:
Topic 1: Deadlines, Delivery of the songs Topic 2: Melody/Rhythms, keyboard as the main interface Topic 3: Motivations while writing a song, Go take a Bath Topic 4: Sickness affecting your work Topic 5: The whole game, music saving Topic 6: Budget Gaps, eastern compared to western Topic 7: Troubling issues like money or promotions Topic 8: Watching Movies Topic 9: Dead projects Topic 10: Good Feelings, Negative Feelings Topic 11: Wonderful Gifts Topic 12: 100 Million Topic 13: Women, Huge Knockers Topic 14: Nudity Topic 15: Flat-rate Benefits Topic 16: Entertainers Topic 17: Beards and Style Topic 18: Industry Conditions, Knowledge of Law, Freelance Suffering Topic 19: Taxi Fare Topic 20: Closing, MVC Trophy Awarded |

I too am interested in this. Also...Darn you Google Translate! It has made me look bad on more then one occasion ("Awesome" translated to Japanese = "Terrible"?).

1up chose the Western vs. Eastern part to translate, probably because it's trendy to report something controversial:

Oh, this was even printed up in Famitsu magazine?
Even though he probably spent a couple hundred bucks on the nice dinner and all the drinks for the whole group, overall it was a great idea by Hideki Sakamoto to put this "event" together. It was about 6 hours long according to Nakamura's blog, so I imagine even the Famitsu version was fairly edited and truncated. It managed to generate a lot of press and further interest, so by all means this was a successful quick boost for everyone, and was worth it's price in drinks.

The best part is Mitsuyoshi booing at the announcement of Nakamura as MVC

If that was the best part, you must have been asleep during the rest of the article. =)

Thanks, Arcubalis, for the complete translation! Aside from just an interesting read, I think it's going to be funny.
