A Night in Fantasia 2007
Hi everyone. Thought you might be interested in seeing some pics from the Eminence concert in Sydney, Australia. It was a wonderful night and a great experience (being my first gaming concert). The piece from Kingdom Hearts, “Fantasia alla Marcia” was the final piece in the program and well worth the wait. Even better was the encore, which was recognised by the whole audience as soon as the orchestra had struck the first few notes, “One Winged Angel”.
We were lucky enough to get to meet the seven special guests of honour following the concert and get some autographs. I got a chance to meet Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts music and, even though she only speaks Japanese, she understood enough English for me to tell her I love Kingdom Hearts and ask her about if there will be a Kingdom Hearts 3. She replied “Maybe. There is very good chance.” Then I asked if she would be doing the music and she answered “I hope to be”.
I just want to say if Riku hadn’t told me about the concert, I’d never have known about it or had such a great night. Thanks Riku.
Enjoy the pics.

(Riku: We also have a video of the Eminence Symphony Orchestra rehearsing for this 2007 concert. Enjoy it!)

Heck, I’d love to go to a video game concert, if only because I knew I’d eventually hear One-Winged Angel.
(I’m not familiar with the other games listed on the program, but I’m sure I’d enjoy those selections, too.)

Ooh, I went to that too! I’m so annoyed though, as I forgot my Final Fantasy X Vocal Collection for Yoko. Gah.
