Inspiration for Bokujō Monogatari

The idea for a farmwork-simulation game came to him when he first moved to Tokyo from the countryside where he grew up in. Noticing the difference between the city and country, he realized that there are a lot of values and elements of the countryside that deserve appreciation, and this became an inspiration for him, and the basic idea of what eventually became Harvest Moon.
