You guys probably know that any time “game music” and “Australia” appear in the same sentence, it probably involves Eminence, and indeed I am referring to the upcoming A Night in Fantasia 2009 concert which is shaping up to be one hell of a show. We told you two months ago what was going to be played, but what we know now is who will be attending, and it’s one of the most impressive lists of game music composers from the East and West that we’ve ever seen.
Los Angeles-based composers Wataru Hokoyama, Steve Jablonsky, Cris Velasco, and Inon Zur will be joined by Tokyo-based composers Yasunori Mitsuda, Kow Otani, and Go Shiina. Singer Aubrey Ashburn, also from Los Angeles, will be balanced out by singers AIKA Tsuneoka and Chiaki Takahashi from Tokyo. It truly is an LA Vs. Tokyo event, and it’s taking place in Sydney, Australia of all places! This should definitely be something to see if you’re one of the lucky people in town on September 26.
Check out the official website, and let us know what you think about this list of special guests. Are you looking forward to any of the arrangements being performed in particular?

I like that Yura *quotes himself* on the promotional material. Awesome. 🙂
I do desperately wish I lived in Australia though, just during this time of the year. I’d love to see this concert. It’s such a great balance of game and anime.
Haha, didn’t notice the quote. That is pretty good.
I didn’t realise that too haha!
