New Yasunori Mitsuda album announced... featuring Masashi Hamauzu!

While I know this forum isn't exactly Yasunori Mitsuda mad, I thought most of you would be interested to know that he is releasing a new arranged album, featuring piano arrangements of compositions from Sailing to the World, which is featuring arrangements from Masashi Hamauzu! A sheet music book will also be released. Naoko Endo, from Piano Pieces "SF2" ~ Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2, will be performing.

Personally, I'm definitely looking forward to this. It could be the natural successor to the Final Fantasy X Piano Collections with Hamauzu's involvement and the original material it will be based on is actually rather strong. Though, I have to ask... Why does SE let Masashi Hamauzu arrange UNLIMITED: SaGa one day? That'd be so awesome. Anyway... discuss! More details here for the Japanese dudes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Regarding the Chrono Cross arranged album, I asked a question about this in SquareSound's interview with him. The response:

Quote:

Regarding the Arrange Version of the Chrono Cross soundtrack, it's still in progress right now. But as I learned through my work in Kirite, I know now that I shouldn't try to compose or arrange songs while working on other projects. I'm not going to try to rush myself to get this album completed, so the release date isn't set yet.

Oh, and Eriol, I realized that the link wouldn't help much, but considering I don't read Japanese myself, I thought someone might get some use out of it. Lucky Zanasea came to the rescue!!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
