For the “Green Greens,” “Pokémon Floats,” and some other stage music, I simply made my arrangement and was done. But, the menu theme… That was a tough one! (laughs)”

His face grew stern, he said, “well, then,” and it was decided that Mr. Sakai would compose that song.”

So I wanted it to feel refreshing, like something already familiar to them, like they were watching the game’s’ stages from afar. Sakai: And that “refreshing” feel is exactly where I began to go wrong. Did that mean a cheery spring-like tune? I had no idea what I should do.”
