Soken revealed that he had actually been in hospital battling cancer for most of last year while continuing to work as much as he was able. It's now currently in full remission.

Soken has been battling cancer since around 5.3ish. He composed "To the Edge" from his hospital bed basically, and Yoshi P only let him keep working because he begged to be treated no different than before. None of the dev team besides Yoshi knew about it till recently, and the doctor let Soken out of the hospital because he's in full remission atm.

The music is the soul of this game. Thank you Soken!

Now, can we petition mandatory vacation time for him??

Just watched the video, really got tears to my eyes. I had family members got and killed by cancer so it hit really close to home.
I love the dev team even more after this speech, damn!
