Check this out! (and then click on 'Click to View Website')

Guests include: Kow Otani, Shiro Hamaguchi, Masaru Shiina, Junichi Nakatsuru, Yasunori Mitsuda, Yoko Shimomura and Hitoshi Sakimoto.

Just wow.

"We have also talked to Bandai Namco and we can announce that Junichi Nakatsuru (Soul Calibur series, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War) and Masaru Shiina (Tales of Legendia & Tekken: Dark Resurrection) will also attend our concert".

Wow. Go Shiina!:o

Too bad it's Australia only. Have fun though.

It may also interest people to know that the Eminence Symphony Orchestra recorded the music to the upcoming anime, Romeo x Juliet, featuring Hitoshi Sakimoto as the composer.

I bought my tickets to the concert already, can't wait! The music and meeting the composers is gonna make it a night to remember!

By the way, the first violinist Hiro (Seraph on the forums here) recorded the violin part for this game composed by Sakimoto. Once again,just like the Radical Dreamers track he send to IGN, it sounds lovely.

A new interview from IGN with Hitoshi Sakimoto during the Romeo x Juliet orchestral recording. Discusses Sakimoto's workload for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and how he isn't involved in the new Final Fantasy Tactics port.

To Vkamicht: You can also find a better picture of Shiina in the biography section of the website.

Awesome! Now, can someone directly extract the image out of the flash file? :P

Oh man, I wish this would travel to the US! Will there be a DVD/CD of this for sale?

There are too many great composers going to this! I would love to hear the Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve themes and then hear the respective composers talk about them!

I wish we have the $$$$$$$ to go to the states...

I'm pretty sure they will release a CD for the concert, though it will take some time, they're sgtull trying to get the other CD out, I think it was 2006 or 2005...

Maybe Tommy at VGL can get you guys more sponsers so you can go the states?

Yoko...Shimomura... as a special guest...? Wow. Wish I had the luxury of time and money to visit Australia in April. :P Wonder if the "Main Theme (Orchestral)" from Parasite Eve will be performed; it's one of my favourite pieces of VGM. Ditto for "Dearly Beloved" from Kingdom Hearts II. I guess part of the fun is guessing what songs will be performed (e.g. my Shimomura wishlist of "Prelude To The Demon King", "Wanderer's Path" etc.). :P

:twitch: Wow. Very nice stuff.

The trailer is also up on youtube.

HOT! God I can't wait for this event.

I just wish I can find somewhere cheaper to order the Colossus soundtrack. Play asia has it, but I wish I can get it with less shipping fees or somewhere in Sydney...

Well im sure if and when Eminence's ANIF07 comes out on CD, it may contain the SotC tracks they are performing at the concert.

Maybe check their merchandise page after the concert. They also their SotC that they played last year on youtube.

i want the cd ;.;
Do we know what the complications concern?
