We've published an interview with Uematsu-san to go along with the album release:

Darkness and Starlight Interview.

Some interesting bits of info here, especially the fact that he used to perform in a band 20 years ago. Maybe that's old news, but I don't seem to recall hearing that before.

Most amazing jew boots

Our full impressions just went live:

Darkness and Starlight Review.

I think it's a great album, but if you're not into rock, then it's probably not for you, obviously. I really enjoy what they did with Distant Worlds.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It came out on the 19th in Japan. So yesterday. I doubt it's arrived to anyone outside of Japan at this point, so it's likely whatever it is people are saying about the album is from ripped MP3s that somehow got leaked. The review I linked to lists two stores that you can purchase it from, including Amazon and Play-Asia.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seriously...here...if you know the right people...you can get anything.

Yeah, I know. I'm not saying that it's bad or horrible or anything. I was just letting him know that it wasn't technically "out."

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Grand Cross was one of the least impressive pieces in my opinion. It was too straightforward. There wasn't much interpretation by the band. Distant Worlds is the standout for me, although I enjoyed Darkness and Starlight as well.

Anyway, a lot of people are saying it's too "synthy," but that's what Fukui is there for. He did a great job, even reminding me of Sakuraba at points.

I was speaking idiomatically.
