Anyone who happened to visit Yasunori Mitsuda’s website a few days ago might have noticed that instead of reaching the main page, they were instead greeted with a Christmas message from the man himself. The note featured a Christmas-themed background and a surprise announcement that a special promotional song would be featured on the site until Christmas day. Clicking the link took you to the main page which featured a piano version of the theme from the Korean MMORPG, Lime Odyssey.
For those of you who don’t know, Yasunori Mitsuda is in charge of the music for Lime Odyssey. As for the song itself, it’s soft and melodic with parts that remind me of his work on Xenogears. In fact, if I had not looked at the track title I might have suspected it was an arrangement or a lost track from that title. Perhaps it’s how the song is arranged, but it certainly has a very Christmas-like feel to it, and the timing is perfect!
As stated in the Christmas notice, the song will only be available until Christmas day, so if you haven’t already done so already, stop on by Mitsuda’s website and take a listen to this wonderful track.
