Final Fantasy has had a huge influence on me in ways that are hard to describe. I never thought I would have this opportunity. I wrote the song just for this work. I look forward to working with you.

I was surprised and at the same time very happy when it was decided that I would be working with Yonezu-san.
I am also a fan of Yonezu myself,
I am also a fan of Mr. Yonezu's work, and I am sure that his sensibility will resonate with many generations to come,
I was confident that Yonezu would be able to express the world, story, and theme of FFXVI in a way that would resonate with many generations to come.
