Comment from Moe Toyoda
There were so many new discoveries, and it was so fresh and stimulating that it has completely changed the way I enjoy listening to Sugiyama's music in the future.
I grew up listening to Mr. Miyagawa's music (NHK children's program) as a child, so it was like a miracle that we were able to meet and talk together, and I think my mother would be most pleased (laugh).
Mr. Ito is often involved in games because of his profession, but I never had a chance to talk to him, so it was a very valuable experience for me.
