"From there," he says, "I dive into what is possible to make in terms of sound, and then I start working." Regarding composition in general, Yamaoka says he starts every new project by thinking about the idea as a whole, considering what the game will offer to anyone who plays it. "Rather than perfect matches, we look for some sort of misalignment, which makes it feel more fresh and attractive," he explains. He uses a Japanese phrase "Ki wo terau"-to deliberately act strange-as an example of his ideas for the game's music. Yamaoka says he first heard of the new game while out drinking with Toyama, who was using words like "Nineties," "urban," and "Asian taste." "When I finally heard of Slitterhead," Yamaoka says, "it's like the dots had finally been connected."
