Yuzu's too biased :( You know, us adults want bearhugs, poohs/flowers, and piggyback rides too! (I'll even take a pat the head :console:)

piggyback rides? Hmmm - considering most adults weigh more than him... that's going to be quite a sight!

I can give him a piggyback ride.

If he tries the other way around, I'm afraid we'd have a Yuzuru pancake.

Of course this is my 1000th post in this thread, of course it is :palmf:
 
I love that Final Fantasy music is respected. I attended a symphony concert that performed the most popular soundtracks some years back at a prestigious concert hall. Of course Ending Theme was in there so I was very happy :agree2:. The composer for XV is Yoko Shimomura and she is an apt successor to Uematsu I think.

So sorry for the OT, but this is a topic very dear to me.

Final Fantasy is popular but has anyone of note actually used it?

Not that I'm aware of. I remember watching a synchronized swimming pair (?) at the Olympics (probably London 2012) who used... I think it was Liberi Fatali (FF VIII). And I know Kevin Reynolds skated to a Chrono Trigger/Cross program some years ago, but that's Mitsuda, not Uematsu (my three video game music heroes are Uematsu, Mitsuda and Shimomura, with Ito a close fourth). I've lived and breathed VGM for close to twenty years, my love for figure skating is nothing compared to my love for Japanese RPGs video game music. My piano sees more VGM than classical music. :laugh:

I've been to *counts* six Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concerts in London and Paris, and five Final Symphony series concerts in Germany and the Netherlands. The Distant Worlds series features orchestrated (plus huge choir) songs from FF soundtracks; in the Symphony series the songs are actually arranged as symphonic pieces (a piano concerto in three movements, suites, chamber music etc.). Both "versions" of concerts are just awesome.

In six days I travel to Paris to attend the European premier concerts of the Kingdom Hearts concerts (with Shimomura in attendance), in similar style as the FF Distant Worlds ones. http://www.wildfaery.com/info/index.php/en/kingdom-hearts
The world premier is tomorrow in Tokyo, after that they go to Paris. I'm so excited! (and it takes my mind off Worlds, :thumbsup: )

Having said all that, *of course* it would be a dream come true for me to see Hanyu, or really, anyone, skate to VGM, especially Final Fantasy. Getting three Joe Hisaishi programs in one season is not the same, but we're slowly getting there. Maybe next year... who knows (Hisaishi has actually composed the score for a J-RPG, so it's not that much of a stretch).

Just make him skate to the Chocobo song as ex, complete with yellow feathery costume :laugh:
Ok, but seriously, Road to Zanarkand <3 although if i'm being honest, i liked FFXII's soundtrack too
Or even better, Yuzu please skate to Yoko Kanno... She's my favorite japanese composer...

How could I forgot Kanno... or Kajiura! And of course the brilliant Hamauzu! Too many out there. :love:
Yuzu in a chocobo outfit, now there's a thought! Someone should photoshop that, hehehehe, and there are some really wonderfully orchestrated chocobo tributes out there. I mean, it's not that far-fetched, the guy dresses like a swan. Swan, chocobo, what's the dif except the color? ;-) Or he could go dressed as a moogle!

Plus, Yoko Kanno is from Sendai :D match made in heaven! I like Kajiura very much, but i don't think her style suits Yuzu...
Cutest baby chocobo ever :D (and baby chocobo=no smell yet! hahaha)
For the moogle, well... he already has the antenna, we just need to attach a pom pom to his head :D
 
But i want an instrumental one :c Kanno's music speaks to my heart <3 if i combine it with Yuzu's skating i will be ecstatic...

Yes Yes Yes.
She's amazing. And so eclectic that I'm pretty sure Yuzu could find something that fit exactly what he has in mind in one of her works.
I didn't know she was from Sendai, now, this has to happen !


(Thinking that I visited Sendai for Tanabata matsuri back in 1997... the simple fact that I may have met a baby Yuzu back then without knowing it makes my heart flutter)

Something jazzy, like he has wanted for a long time...

Also, looking around Google maps, i found this! We should move there :P
