Hey guys, KairiLi, a KH Fanatic~ a great one at that. Managed to come back from Night in Fantasia concert, which featured various game music, including Kingdom Hearts!

-Kingdom Hearts II - Fantasia Alla Marcle for Piano, Chorus was very well performed by both chorus and orchestra, however, being a major KH2 fan I had some nitpicks.

A: The piano kept getting overshadowed by orchestra in alot of places where the main motif was being played by the piano, particularly when we got to Deep Dive's "Another Side " track, I can barely hear it.

B: When Destati was sung, the chorus sung "Ahs" and not the lyrics, which was a little disappointing as this was a highlight of the suite and KH in general. Ah well.

Destati! Tendi la mano Awaken! Extend your hand
E' giunta l'ora, destati The time has come: wake up
Le porte verranno schiuse The doors will open again

Su rimembra tu trepida Come on, remember, anxious one
Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda Come on, wake up! Remember

Destati, destati Awaken, awaken
Forza, tendi la mano Here, extend your hand
Destati, destati Awaken, awaken
E' giunta l'ora The time has come

E ancora una volta And once again
Apriranno le porte They will open the door

(repeat)

Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi? Huh? What? Don't you want it?
Tuttavia t'appartiene But it belongs to you
Cio che hai perduto That which you have lost
Diventera uno!
Despite the above, it was still an amazing experience to hear this live, and the ending note was so damn epic, powerful, emotional and just plain awesome.



-Yoko was surprised and seemed impressed when I asked her to sign the complete 9 disk KH OST set. I told her that what she did for KH was amazing and its probably my fav game music ever.
Everyone else like Otani and Mitsuda san were all very nice. And they all looked awesome too. Shiina and Mitsuda's hair stood out
And to wrap it all up, KairiLi sent me an image of the Kingdom Hearts Complete OST with Yoko Shimoura's Autograph!
