“I'm very much interested in films and novels from all over the world, but I am, after all, Japanese, so I try to make the most out of that in my creativity.”
While talking with Rajamouli about what they share, Kojima described himself: he is very much interested in films and novels from all over the world, but he is, after all, Japanese, so he tries to make the most out of that in his creativity.
“It'll be like RRR and H for Hideo, so RRR HHH or RH RH RH, we should call it RH Games.”
“But it's meaningless if you lose your own colour in the process, so you have to find a place for yourself among the symphony but bring out the Japanese part of yourself too. Like, you can hear a Japanese flute from within the symphony.”
“Yes, I do get offers, and I would like to, but I just don't have the time. Say I spend one year doing a movie. What would my staff do for a year? But I am seeking ways to try to make it work.”
“I like films, but decided to make games, and that's why I think my work is a bit unique.”
“And in Mr. Rajamouli's films, the main characters always take their clothes off. Same with my games.”
