If anyone is interested I found an interesting channel that interviews people working in the creative industry in Japan and places that inspires them.
The one embedded is Keiichiro Toyama who was the game director for Silent Hill, the Siren series and the Gravity Daze series.
A few notable ones:
Katsura Hashino - SMTIII Nocturne, Persona 3/4/5, Catherine
