Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy concert
Saturday, May 23, 2009
I saw Nobuo Uematsu at the Distant Worlds concert!!! Awesomeness, right at the start some random guy was shouting stuff and turned out he was cheering for Uematsu-sensei. He was sitting like 10 rows in front of me!!!!!!!!
Well everyone knows what I think of game music, so there isn't much for me to add. Heard most of the songs on my More Friends CD, and some new ones I liked were Vamo alla Flamenco (FF9), Ronfaure (FF11), Fisherman's Horizon (FF8) and Distant Worlds (FF11).
One-Winged Angel was significantly absent from the programme list, which could only mean one thing......... sure enough, they rolled it out as their 2nd encore piece, the video all ready to go (they knew!!!!).
Then they had a QA session with Uematsu Sensei and Arnie Roth (the conductor. I think he was here for Play!! 2 years ago as well) so I made our party migrate closer to the stage. We were only 3m apart!!!!! I wanted to ask a question but the mod-guy didn't pick me=( I should've done something crazy. Oh well, next time.
As we exited the concert hall I was in full fangirl mode and kept bugging Char. And as we reached the door (they were giving out Coke Lights) I turned around and Uematsu-sensei was right behind meeeeee!!!!!!!
Well, surrounded by his security guards but you get it.
We were too late to join the autograph queue. I was very upset, so we went right up to the barrier in front of the table and started snapping pics like the paparazzi we were.
I hope I can meet him one day, he seems like a cool guy=)
Will put photos once I get them from Char. ^__^
