    Mitsuda, Chrono Trigger: Spekkio. Another quintet. Yeah, we weren't lazy, a nice perfomance, by the way.

    Kikuta, Secret of Mana: Mana Fortress. A fabulous quintet in front of a giant lion head. :p

    The Overworld Theme from Super Mario World played by a Quintet.

    Kikuta, Seiken Densetsu 3: Swivel. This is a trio, including Beatrice's famous belly dance. May include adult content. :p

    Uematsu, Final Fantasy: Chocobo. I uploaded this theme last month, but this time I played it in a group. :)

    Kikuta, Secret of Mana: The Little Sprite. This is a quintet in contrast to the solo perfomance some time ago.

    Ah man, you're awesome.
    Would you make a cameo in an episode of "Captain's Log" when it comes out? That'd be so wicked cool. You'd probably be playing at the Cosmic Cafe. ;)

    How would that work? :D

    Well, in Episode 5, or so, Jude visits the "Cosmic Cafe" and in the cafe I planed to have a band playing on a stage in the background. I didn't really know how to go about it, but here you are! You'd be perfect.

    Ok, so here's how it would work.

    First, I would have you record your band playing the song, then I would have you join the server where I record the scenes, probably via the use of Hamachi.
    I would have the set all prepared on the server, I would have you take your places and begin playing on my cue. I would then control the characters in the scene while you played in the background. This process takes a bit, as I have to control each character individually, so there are a lot of cuts. That's why I need the separate recording of your band, so that I can splice it over the footage. You'd essentially be lip syncing.

    Or, an easier method for you, would be to have you do just the recording, and then I would put duplicates of you on the stage doing the motions while the recording of your song played. The effect would be exactly the same, only difference is that I would be controlling the silent motions of the stage characters, and not your band. I would also require the character config files for each band member, which I imagine, is less desirable.

    And of course, the name of your band would be on a banner above the stage. As well as your name, and the name of the band members, in the credits, both at the beginning as "Special Guests/Camios", and at the end under "Special Thanks."

    Seems interesting! Before we go into the details: which song do you want?

    I really don't know. I was thinking, something along the lines of the Star Wars canteena song. Something like that, but not that song in particular.
    Something kinda jazzy that plays well in the foreground of a scene. Kinda quiet, and or peppy. If you know what I mean.

    But I'll watch your videos and see if any of the ones you've already played fit well, and I'll let you know.

    Btw, episode 5 won't roll around for a while, so I won't be needing this for a few months.

    Ok, cool. I'll be also away for a month or so until June. However, I'm now more frequently on the forums and will have a look in this and your thread, if something changes. :)

    Kikuta, Secret of Mana: The second truth from the left.

    Long time has passed since the last video. This one is still one from the legendary "San Geronimo concert", an evening back in January, when we performed music for three hours. I would say that this was a highlight (in a row of highlights!), because it had six musicians. You don't see sextets this often... one of my favorites. :)

    Something completly different: Age of Empires 2, Lawrence.



    What happened? Well, this song was played by me and some friends "by case", and I recorded it. And as I didn't post a video for some time, I decided to upload it. More "classical" Mistdua/Kikuta/Uematsu/Kondo-stuff next time. Promised! :)

    Mitsuda, Radical Dreamers: Day of Summer (Trio).

    Note the change of the weather and the changing mood of the song! :D
