I had no idea that Sumitomo spoke such fluent English.

Cool interview.

Terrible interview. Bad presentation, little interesting information, surprisingly good English. One of us should try to organize an interview with more interesting questions.

Good idea, but I would like to know how organizing an interview would be possible. How would you go about organizing it?

"My opinion of Norihito's Sumitomo's new score is... well, very mixed. The stuff that's good is pretty darn good, but the stuff that's bad makes elevator music sound like Jerry freaking Goldsmith." -Kenisu

Hell if I know, I was just throwing the idea out there. I'm terrible at this kind of thing, but if someone is interested, I'm sure he has a public email, or social media, or something.

Jinzoningen MULE:

What questions would you ask or like to have someone ask Mr. Sumitomo?

I am pretty sure that was part of a larger show (radio broadcast) that had more information.
