What's your least favorite genre of music?
Oh, ouch... that's a very hard question. There's so many genres but... I don't really like hip-hop and the techno-y stuff. That's pretty much why I don't like clubs - I don't like the music they play. :P
 
If you were banished from the continent on which you live now, which country would you move to and live in for the rest of your life?

Probably Japan.
Pretty sure Japan.
Definitely Japan. :D

You seem to know a lot about Japan. I heard it's extremely difficult to get rid of an old piece of technology and you have to make a long procedure to do so, and due to the new flats constricted, people over there avoid to buy any home console and use smartphones. What do you know about it if it's true? ^^

I've never actually been to Japan, sadly, and thus don't know as much as I'd like to. My knowledge about Japan is limited to the language to some extent and the gaming industry. Society and all that - no idea. But what I do know is that there is no place you can have lunch for as cheap as in Japan. :D

Lucky them, would have been great to eat so cheaply xD

What is your biggest source of inspiration when you are making music?

What is your biggest source of inspiration when you are making music?
Mostly, it's other soundtracks and games I play. Inspiration and motivation are kinda going hand in hand with me, and thus I guess I'm also inspiring myself in some way. You could call that "inspiration by aspiration". XD
Oh, and sometimes I'm also inspired by art or a particular artist's work. When that happens I usually dedicate the song to that particular artist. Like I did for @Amysaurus for example. :)

^ And that song is currently my ringtone.

What is your least favorite part of RPG-Making? :D

I know, this is probably gonna sound shocking to you, but my least favourite part about RPG-making is, in fact, choosing/making the soundtrack, be it for my own (hypothetical) game or someone else's. Maybe it's because I'm not so much into the other aspects of RPG-making that much, but coming up with 100% fitting music is hard. I like making music. I like making it for games. But not for existing ones. XD

^ And that song is currently my ringtone.
Also, yay~! ^_^

Darn... why do I always get the tough ones...?
I like penguins more than polar bears. No matter what they do, they're so darn cute. I've never seen polar bears in real life though. Only in documentaries. But I would spend a heck of a lot of time in front of any penguin enclosures in any zoo. :D

Oh oh oh! You'll have to check out the zoo near here one day~

You can see the polar bears, and they just built a new penguin area a few years ago :D

Penguins FTW XD

I have another question (I hope this time it won't be too hard for you ^^") : What do you think about the Playstation Vita?

The PSV? Never had one. From a technical standpoint it's an amazing console though. It just had the tough luck to go against the 3DS. The PSV didn't have the support the 3DS got and although being the more impressive console, hardware-wise, failed. I think the PSV is a classical case of missed potential.

Yes, it has a great potential. I was freakin mad at SONY for not having faith or pushing it by marketing it. Good ideas, but bad execution. As a matter of fact, I plan buying one tomorrow. Cheaper and better than the New 3DS (that Nintendo handheld is a joke, especially for those that already have the 3DS already so useless to have the New 3DS).

Do you have any formal education with music composition or are you mainly self-taught?

The only "formal" education I got about music was what I was taught in school and during my saxophone lessons. So, the basic knowledge, basically. Everything else (i.e. composition) is self-taught. :)
