Among topics in the article are why they recorded the large-scale orchestras in Hollywood instead of Tokyo and this gem, which doesn’t seem to be a popular opinion judging from the other guys’ answers:
Kota Suzuki: I get the impression that production at western, particularly American developers are ahead of those in Japan.

More and more Japanese production companies are working together with foreign companies, and sound production quality in Japan is approaching that of the west.
