Final Symphony II with the London Symphony Orchestra in Japan. What an achievement! One that was even recognized by the Guinness Book of Records: www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-record...
Ten years ago today, Final Symphony II was performed in Osaka by the London Symphony Orchestra, the first time a foreign orchestra played video game music in its country of origin. Fans said they could sense the deep engagement, passion and love that went into it. @mischacheung.bsky.social
