This is the first part of an interview series with Kieda Takao recorded back on 2 February 2017, when I was still a podcast production novice. Apologies for the sound quality.

The outro was “Kamikaze” from the Sounds of War album. You can find English subs here, although the sound quality is not as good. The intro was my own original mashup of Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) anime sound bites with “Dubstep" from BenSound.
