Album

My Dear Friends,

Over the last four years, you have given me the privilege of performing for you live in the concert hall. Now, for the first time, I’m bringing the concert to your home. It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce the launch of GAME!

GAME features twenty-six themes from videogames and anime, including Final Fantasy, Naruto, Super Mario World, InuYasha, Chrono Trigger, Cowboy Bebop, Mega Man, Chrono Cross, Fullmetal Alchemist, Tetris, and Evangelion. I have taken great care to write and perform original arrangements, so even if you already have a large collection of game and anime music, each track will sound new, fresh, and different from anything you’ve heard before. Please check out the Free Demo to hear some GAME highlights!

Before GAME, I have always been limited to fundraising for charity on-site at concerts through the sale of "Piano Squall" posters and T-shirts. Thanks to your support, we were able to bring in more than $12,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and Race for the Cure in 2006 through the sale of this merchandise.

Now through online distribution, GAME gives us the opportunity to raise more money for charity than ever before. 20% of all proceeds from GAME benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's "Promise: 2010" campaign, which targets four under-explored areas of research that hold great potential in the fight against the effects of MS. Your support has already made a difference in the lives of real people. Please help me bring it to the next level.

I put my whole heart into making GAME, and all I really want is for you to enjoy it. I know that the price is unusually low for a new CD, especially when all of the tracks are licensed, but music has never been about profit to me. I just want you to own it, hear it, and relive the emotions of playing these games and seeing these anime for the first time. To me, this is a performerʼs greatest reward.

Thank you so much for listening to my music. Nothing would be possible without your most generous support.
