I was there as an orchestra member. It was so memorable night because the audience were great, even fanatic (in nice way). After the concert,i was talked to by two audience from ENGLAND!! Flashing light on the stage was no probrem to see the notes,and we had a small light for each stand.Unfortunately, there were very limited rehearsal time,so i agree that the performance,sound balance was not perfect. Mr.Uematsu seemed to me as very nice,humble person and I respect his music.
I always admire singers like these because they're just so good and have great control over their voices. The intstrument players are good as well. The whole bit always give me chills. This is great--thank you for uploading.
i've seen many group doing this song. and this is the best orchestra for the song. bravo. anyway, the stage is full of blinking light, i wonder if they can they look at their notes without getting headache?
Oh my.... thats all that comes to mind This was amazing! I absolutely love the FF8 music, makes me feel as if I'm in the game, just as lynceee said, I feel like I'm in an epic battle or something along those lines... The music in the game just grabs you and pulls you into the moment... Best music for an FF game IMHO
i just can watch/listen this for the rest of my life and will never get tired of it. waaaaaaaaaay much better and intense than "beginners" of fantasy hahaha
lmao this shouldn't be as awesomely amazing as it is. I mean, I know they record it so someone has to play it, but watching it makes it that much more incredible!!!!
This is extremely epic beyond comprehension, its more epic than nine thousand raditz! It would've been awesome to have a swordplay choreography in front the orchestra during this
I once listened to that at work. My boss wondered if it was some great classic composer (Schuber?) VG music has come a long way since the bleeps and boops of the Atari 2600 :)
Look I've been to Japan, and it's not just a stereotype, NOBODY speaks any western language, maybe one in a thousand Japanese speaks English, so the fact that these people can master latin like this, is a lot more impressive than it seems.
@Shinzoken This was the first song that really resonated with me from a video game. Everytime I hear it, I get this amazing feeling of when I played through FFVIII the first time. Your comment has made me quite happy.
