I don't know what he's saying... but he is responsible for the times i used to break nites as a kid playing Secret of Mana...that was 1994...i have been listening to that soundtrack since then.
His Japanese is very easy to understand. A lot of people tend to use large words to sound impressive, but his concept is to express through his music and that comes across in his speech, as well.
TO one of the best JRPG music composer of my time!!
will respected!!
