hahaha! you really make me laugh out when you say toilet music !!!

if every hotel toilet in the world, buys his CDs; then he'll be very rich indeed !!!
 
I wouldnt call nobuo uematsu -- the guy who did ff series a great keyboardist or pianist, i would call him a great composer :).. if u've seen him live in the black mages band ( nobuo's band playing ff music rock ), u'll notice his skills are good, but not great, there are many people better than him in playing ( technically ) , but im his true fan/idol , cause his composing just roxx me and i aspire the next him =p..
