Videogame music is one of the most important kinds of music in the modern world. It gives rise to new voices, and more importantly, it has the power to make entire generations fall in love with a wide variety of musical genres and cultures from around the world. Composers such as @UematsuNobuo are the proof of how deep of an impact game music can have on the world. I lost count of how many people I met who told me they became musicians or composers because of Final Fantasy... and Uematsu-san is completely aware of this fact. So much so that, to this day, his mission with his work is to spread the passion for music to people of all ages, across the whole world, simply because he believes giving people a reason to smile is always a worthy endeavor. Recently he released a brand new album with the London Symphony Orchestra in service of that same goal, and today he just submitted that album for Grammy consideration. All I'm going to say is, if there's a category of musicians composers who deserve to be taken in consideration more by the Grammys, it's composers who come from the game world and who bring a freshness and open-mindedness to the world of music like very few do. And among those formidable people, if there's one who deserves it more than anyone else, to me, that's Nobuo Uematsu. I may be a little biased. But the impact and echo of his music across decades and generations speaks for itself. Good luck, Uematsu-san!
