My Take
Screenwriter and musician in the same person — honestly that combination stops me cold every time. Dai Satō has been quietly doing the kind of work that doesn't come with a big press cycle: crafting the words that actors bring to life, and separately building sound from scratch. His credits run from Cowboy Bebop to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Eureka Seven, and for a creator of this type I think that's exactly right — you want the work in the foreground, not the biography. A real behind-the-curtain professional, and those are the ones I end up respecting most.
