Hyding beside Me

Went to Distant World: Music from Final Fantasy concert at Esplanade yesterday. Technically Singapore Festive Orchestra played well, but just thought the right feelings for each crucial part of the tune was not properly conveyed...As an amateur to FF pieces, SFO failed to leave me an impression. It was not Arnie Roth's fault, it was SFO's. They don know FF.


I wondered what kind of impressions SFO left Nobuo Uematsu with. I hope it was not bad enough to make him not come to Singapore again. hee. Nothing beats the natives, i bet. Ya, Nothing beats Tour de Japon. That's the best orchestral FF I have heard so far.


FF = Japanese's pride.

Nobuo san, how could you just leave the few of us without your signature?! Cries. I ever wrote to you to bring Black Mage to Singapore...:( Cant believe the few of us were so close to having our dreams realised and yet so far now...


But you are such a funny guy!
