Trivia
- On the words of Thomas on how he first started working for KONAMI: "I first worked for Konami on the first Drummania game. It was in the summer of 1999. A friend of mine gave my number to some Konami musicians; they were looking for local vocalists to record some of their new music for the first Drummania. I sent in a demo tape, and I also found a few other foreign (non-Japanese) vocalists living in the area and got them to send in demos as well. They chose me and one other (Elizabeth Dobbs) to sing on several songs. I also mentioned that I write a lot of lyrics, and they let me try my hand at it. They seemed pleased with the results, so I've been hired to write lyrics quite a bit since then -- even for other vocalists."
- From his debut until GITADORA, GuitarFreaks V2 & DrumMania V2 was the only arcade GuitarFreaks & DrumMania game Thomas did not write or sing a song for.
- Thomas also contributed to Unit-e's music game Neon FM, with the song Girlz Buttz.
- Thomas has also written a children's books, The Seven Kingdoms: Tales of Unicorns.
