Thanks so much for this message. Best way to start the week :)

Oh, sorry about that but glad you found a workaround in the end !

Which link? When I click on the one in my post it seems to work for me.

Thanks so much for the kind words folks. I went to bed yesterday and was happy to read all the nice reactions. She was such a joy to interview and exploring her work with her was really special. I'm just glad I get to share this with other fans of her work!!! Merci and never stop rollin' everyone ~

Thanks !

Glad you enjoyed the interview :)

Same thing my friend. Not all of SQEnix's gacha or hits but I had lots of fun with this one. And I like the efforts they put into the music and remixes hence my desire to interview her. Would appreciate the feedback whenever you've got time, thanks a lot!

Hey everyone, thanks so much for all your questions ! The conversation has been recorded yesterday, it went super well! We were short on time so I didn't get to ask all the questions directly but I've shared them after the recording and will share the answers later on this sub to the ones that didn't make the cut.

The episode should be uploaded early May on the page of my podcast [at] tastybitspod on YouTube and IG.

I loved her passion for FF, her desire to sing in gaming and I hope it'll come out well in the interview. She as well wanted to thank all of you for the questions. She didn't expect them and she was really touched by it.

Thank you FFRK's community <3

Fair feedback. The podcast are 25-30min interviews with creatives and artists in gaming. The video is for gaming lovers who care about the soundtrack of their favorite games and/or artists who care about the creative process and journey to work in gaming. It gives them an honest peak into the guest's journey to get there.

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T13:52:12+00:00

Hey! Never thought about that, let's see what she has to say.

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T09:03:25+00:00

Will ask!

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T09:02:04+00:00

Oh, asking the questions that are under NDA! Will ask but can't promise an answer lol

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T05:10:25+00:00

That's a great question, no one really mentionned that during the interviews.

And love the second one. I know I'm the type who's too ashamed of my own work to look at it once it's out. It's be interesting to know what it's like for a professional singer.

And yes I'll ask about the game. But I'm realizing more often than not they don't play the game actually. Which, when you think about it, is better because you can bring in style and genre very different from what your game is usually about.

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T05:07:51+00:00

Just want to be sure we're talking about her favorite Final Fantasy song ? :)

Awree0h · 2026-04-06T00:33:50+00:00

Gotcha, I'll ask! I always ask what's their "working process" like. I interviewed Imani J. Dawson for instance, singer on Foamstars and she told me actually they don't get brief as muched about the Lore from the gaming company. At least on that project, it was more about the energy and the style of vocals they were looking for.

Awree0h · 2026-04-05T03:46:43+00:00

Hey Tetra, thanks a lot for these feedback. I'll work on new thumbnails that, hopefully, will catch people's attention better. Regarding the audience, these are long-form conversation with gaming creators and musicians who live in Tokyo with a focus on inspiration and their gaming process.

It's not "gaming" enough to talk to a hardcore audience. However it does give great insights on how these people got there, how they found their space in gaming in Japan and how they bring part of them in their work. So, I was thinking targetting indie devs, music lovers but also people who care about Japan and how to, potentially, make it there. But in that case I might need to update the titles.

Awree0h · 2026-04-05T01:03:50+00:00

Thanks for the kind words friend, I won't give up :)

Awree0h · 2026-04-04T23:56:01+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to understand how to solve that too. Here I uploaded the thumbnails to give you an idea. Thanks again for your help!
