Though most readers may know NicoNico Douga as the Japanese equivalent of YouTube, not everyone may know about the many streaming live events on the site. Of interest, Otoya Dai-ikkai ~Ai ga 100man Ton Tarinaize!~ (Music House First Round ~Love is 1 Million Tons Short!~) is an upcoming live event that focuses on the impact of videogame music.
The event boasts some top tier talent with Hideki Sakamoto (Noisycroak) and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (SEGA) as the hosts, Nobuyoshi “Sanodg” Sano (AQ Interactive) and Yasunori Mitsuda (Procyon Studio) as the commentators, and Michiko Naruke (Composer for the Wild ARMs series) as a guest. In addition to a talk, the site also mentions a live performance of some sort to come afterward.
Similar to the Noisycroak round-table, users can submit questions via the entrance page. If selected, the questions will be used to structure the theme of the event. The event is scheduled to start on Feb. 13 at 7:30 PM JST. Users may begin queuing up for the available slots at 7:20 PM JST. Also, as there is no cut off listed for sending questions to the composers, it is not too late to submit any burning questions you may have.
What questions would you ask the composers involved in this event?

Saw Mitsuyoshi post about this on his Facebook. Wish we could have coordinated coverage. Sounds pretty awesome. Should be starting in what, 2 hours? =D
Saw it and it was funny even I didn’t understand anything (beside the usual “hai hai hai”). Sano like to talk it seems but his way how he do it is entertaining even for foreigners. And Mitsuyoshi’s performance was a nice finish. I wonder how many times he has sung “Let’s Go Away” so far. *haha*
