Tour de Japon

What's the word on this? Any favorites, any least favorites, anything you didn’t like, anything you wanted more of (like some other tunes from the FF games)?

It was cool seeing Nobuo conducting the last piece, after hearing all of that. The guy deserved to stand up and be praised. This whole thing just made me appreciate him so much more, the guy is an absolute genius.

You are so right! My appreciation for his work got raised at 100 levels after I've listened that.

My favorite pieces are Bombing Mission, Ronfaure and the FF VII Main Theme. <3

Aerith's theme is epic imo, it's my favourite by miles. The main theme of FFVII is a close second.

And wow, I had never seen the last one. XD I really like it too. It was so funny and awesome when Nobuo showed up. The man rawks! <3

Maybe you've noticed it in the "Related Videos", but here's an even more epic take on One Winged Angel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5st0b3ln5U&feature=related


2:16-2:40 is just pure awesomeness, one of the best themes ever written.

EDIT: Lol, and if you notice Nobuo is rockin on a piano throught the song, made me laugh

 

[Tennyo]

Oh that opera is really gorgeous. Makes me want to play VI. <3

For me, To Zanarkand is one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever written. Wish it were a part of FF7 somewhere
