final fourth
This fourth is going to be the final one for me and Shinkawa. There are other things that we want to create.
worlds
When I was small, I was always thinking about different worlds in my head.
films
To be honest, my friends weren't really as into making films as I was. But I convinced them all to make some zombie films with me.
people
Normally, when people compose for film, you give them the film, and they look at it, and they compose it.
dreams
One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.
believe cooperation entertainment form match mobile share users vast
I believe that this cooperation between Nokia and Konami will form the perfect match to share the vast potential of mobile entertainment content with users all around the world.
people
Many people are taking 2D games and making them into 3D games by recreating the characters in polygons. But the gameplay's still the same, and that's not what they should be doing.
daily opportunity start
Should I use this opportunity to start doing daily headstands?
human
I have always had a fascination about what's inside a human being.
created horror maybe next release
If 'Castlevania' wasn't created next to me, and Capcom didn't release 'Ghouls n' Goblins,' then maybe there wouldn't be any 'Metal Gear,' and I would have created a horror action game, because I really like that genre.
It's part of my ritual to watch a new film every day, no matter what. It's important to me.
aware cultural economic factors interested learned movies political themes watch
I try to watch a movie a day, if not more, and through movies, I learned about so many different political themes I hadn't been interested in and cultural things I hadn't been aware of and economic factors I hadn't thought about.
people
Even when people abroad see me, I'm often asked about a 'Zone of the Enders' sequel.
home japanese maybe similar sort system video
When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'
