Halo me also like FF
the concert need to pay??
how much??

can i have the information?

and need bring many money to SG??
If can i willgo

Me and my friend from Penang will be going as we have pre-booked the tickets earlier.

Sinhan, u can look at my 1st post for more information. Besides, of coz it need to pay. It's official one. The tix price ranging from SGD20 - SGD80, but too bad the tix already sold out juz few days after the tix are available for purchase. But there're still tix on sale on the internet at premium prices. U can search eBay for that.

I see. Pre-booked? Means havn't pay yet?

sold out?!?!?!

Ya. Long time ago. 3 days since the opening of the tix sales.

All the ticket is sold out for early bird.
Heard ppl selling the ticket in ebay.

Ya, at premium price. More than double. But I saw a deal that's priced reasonably at such tix sold out time.

Btw, jehutyz. Wat'll be ur plan to go there? Time of departing & return, accommodation & activities over there, mind to share?

http://www.buysellhub.com/index/listings/page15822.htm


TIA.

I'll be there with a buncha friends

I'll be goin there on friday nite and comming back on saturday night so Im just there for the saturday afternoon performance.

I'm going with a friend by bus from 1utama on Saturday morning. Gonna stay at friend's house at JB after the show

Anyone going for the Saturday afternoon slot?

will be attending this friday 7:30

Time of event updated.

let's gather outside the auditorium!
Someone make a board with a note 'lowyat members here' please!

Guess I am only with Fuji here?

Lol! Seriously? Sounds funny. Anyway, it should be 'Ppl from Malaysia' instead. We're all FF fans & it should be much rarer for Malaysians to go to Singapore for this.

Some information for those who attend. This is what i asked them previously.

'Fans from your neighbor country'

taking airasia to singapore Saturday morning. the plane will depart at 10am. Hmm anyone boarding the same flight as me?

I'll be staying at my friend's place.

Plan to play some sf4 in the arcadesbefore the concert Should reach esplanade say 7.00 -7.30pm..by taking MRT to the city hall MRT station then walk 10 mins to esplanade.

Same flight

4 days to go...
can't wait

Me me Im goin for the afternoon slot.

hmm what should i wear...

cool. lets meet up. anyone else?

i'm gonna be alone so its nice to find someone to chat about final fantasy.

Im just goin to wear a suite and leather shoes dun have to bother, I hope no tie needed lazy to wear tie.

Lol so formal?

As for me, casual wear as usual

Is ok.
I'll together with my fren. Taking SkyBus to LCCT.

As long as not like go pasar malam then is fine.
Anywhere wear smart is not just respect others but also urself.

I seldom wear suits and such even when I am working, just casual.

So guys, got any good questions prepared for Uncle Nobuo? Lol

For some occasions suite with no tie is consided casual so I do not know whats the definition of casual I just do not want to be bared from going in after taking 8 hours bus there and 8 hours back.

I think he is requesting for your company if he can sit next to you.....
Why don't you be abit more friendly and arrange your next to each other? I dont think you'll loose anything.

Who is the person that he admire most........ hmmm

I got a few like :

Do you play the game?
and
Which series is your favourite OST? (IIRC he said its IX before)

Where does it say that nobuo uematsu is comming to singapore?

Think i don't need to inform everyone for that rite.
PM will do the work.

Here

Ah you beat me to it jehutyz

This post has been edited by s[H]sIkuA: May 19 2009, 05:54 PM

^^" This is directed to Singaporean or Malaysian?

Okay, information updated. Wat's sf4? Guess better allocate some spare time in case of emergency. U wouldn't want to miss it, right?

It's always fine to wear as formal as possible for this kind of event. Concerts are usually not even this lenient. Anyway, wear as smart as possible lar. A credit to the musicians.

Nice idea. I'll be staying till Sunday morning. So, perhaps can meet u guys up on Sat afternoon. Is another person going for Friday session staying on Sat?

Lol! Nobuo Uematsu is the person that he admire the most?

What else should we ask?? Ask for his signature~~

If you guys are fans of FF watch naruto and understand cantonese you'd know what this whole thing is all about.

This reminds me of



Similar concept

I lol'd at the Jesus final attack, damn

I like that! The Utopia wat. Interesting~ Wat an interesting thing to do too.

right, got my bag pcked. now arranging my MP3s so i won't get bored in the MRT...

Wow you are already packing already today, I think I wont pack till friday after dinner and my bus is at 11pm.

almost 6 in the morning, my eyes, they feel like being stung by something blunt, it's so hard to keep them open; and my skin is surrounded by nothing but shivering cold wind of the morning... argh...

Anyway, packed and ready to take off; i'm really looking foward to this concert so, see you guys there! and ENJOY THE SHOW!

YunaX out~

sf4 = street fighter 4

I cant play these fighting games without a keyboard.

So I guess while waiting for the show to start I shall look for my friends.

Eh, why did not add me to the list!?

My friend and I will be attending the session on Saturday afternoon.

I do not need to come here as I am staying here.

just back ! Amazing Performance on the last show. Received Sir Arnie and Nobuo san hand shaked and autograph.

I talked with Sir Arnie and wish him come to Malaysia to perform this great Nobuo FF Scores. He felt very suprised that alot of Malaysian Fans actually turn out in Singapore.

Wish there is any event organizer directly contact Sir Arnie for arrangement ! Bravo for One Winged Angel !

True. I think he did heard our voice and saw Facebook comment.
Hope the next tour, Malaysia will be one of it.

Do we have a great hall in KL ? Penang sure tak ada.

Jehutyz, pm me ur facebook contact. act I am late to know the concert around earlier of May, fortunate that I called to Sistic and ask for hope and in return they quickly informed me last 10seat reserved tickets released and I managed to grap 2 !

Lets pray hard to have another round in Malaysia next time ! CD sure better then MP3 ! enjoying it now !

U r the lucky one.
I'm kiasu enough.... get the ticket on the first day at 9AM.
The tour end at mid of July. Think after that they will plan for the next tour and the arrangement for the new song, Dancing Mad and JENOVA.
So let's see will they comin to Malaysia in the next tour. PLEASE!!!!!
If Singapore again.... hahaha no care... go again.

I'm late to the show. Left 5 min before the show start. Didn't check out the CD. During itermission, the CD already sold out. Sad.

I didnt aware of the tour until late April 09 =(
Thanks and I am very fortunate enough this time !

you may check out the CD ad Amazon or other media online store. worth it man !

Penang PISA, LOL!
that'll be lame cause not much people in Penang cares about FF; they only love and game and give shit about the music. Oh, did I mention Transformers...?

Yuna, KL philharmonic orchestra hall is just nice enough for us.

http://www.malaysianphilharmonic.com/contact_us.php

pls throw ur wish to http://www.ffdistantworlds.com/main.php?section=contact

i prefer to watch it once, and let it be the most memorable concert in my life.
well i do wish that Nobuo will someday organize a concert featuring his songs for all games. Eg. Chrono Cross, FF, Lost Odyssey etc

Once....
Next tour will have 2 new arrangement wor. Dancing Mad and JENOVA.
U don't want to listen? I don't think so, u will want to miss JENOVA.

Kz_Kidd
Yup will try to get the CD.
Play-Asia and YesAsia selling the JPN version. The price also not cheap if compare to the price that selling at the event.

This post has been edited by jehutyz: May 25 2009, 11:24 AM

yes, cant wait for Jenova ! I have more deep feel with it compare to Dancing Mad art =) hehe..

Phew just back to Penang today, tired but have a great time in Sg

The only thing I am missing is Uematsu-san signature Guess I'll wait for another concert as I am sure there will be more (hopefully its in Malaysia too)

Btw, which songs do you guys like the most ? I've watched alot of FF tour concert video so I know what to expect, etc but the most memorable pieces for me are definitely Vamo' Alla Flamenco and Maria & Draco.

I also noticed they change a few parts here and there and certainly isn't using the same thing over and over throughout the many concerts

The vocalist certainly are comparable to the Japanese counterpart and they did a great job IMHO

I also just arrived Pg Island at 7 this am.

hoho my 1st choice is One Winged Angel which was the hidden last piece of the show follow by Memoro de la Stono: Distant Worlds theme then the Opera Maria and Draco.

This post has been edited by Kz_Kidd: May 25 2009, 12:12 PM

One Winged Angel is a must for every tour they did but maybe SG auditorium is too small or something, deep inside I really hope something like this would have happened instead

Ah... wish I can just turn back time... this trip was really a memorable one.
I don't know about you guys, but the FF8 battle is just EPICCCCC!

Thank you for voicing out for us.


The CD was sold out on that day! What's so special about it?

I wish I can go to Stockholm their performance on a cruise.

This post has been edited by fujkenasai: May 25 2009, 12:46 PM

After the show i damn like the Memoro de la Stono~Distant Worlds. The vocal part is great. Another one is the Swing de Chocobo. The video is great. Chocobo. Lookin forward for upcoming Asian performance. I'm sure after this good response. They will be back.

jehutyz, I thought your seat was next to ours. Hmm were you the group with 3 guys and a girl?

Went out after the Q&A session and at the same time Uematsu and Arnie came out of the lift right next to us. Tried asking to take a picture with them but the organizer just shooed us

This post has been edited by disket: May 25 2009, 02:30 PM

those organizer are like that lar.. haiz. Want to capture the moment shot during the autograph sesion also susah =] but nvmind, great show cover all this up.

This post has been edited by Kz_Kidd: May 25 2009, 02:35 PM

Yeah I enjoyed it all in all hope they will come to Malaysia DPM to perform one day.

Ohh so is really u guys.
Sorry as didn't say hi to you all. No so sure is it you ppl from LYN
Sitting at there hmmm like not having the best experience of it.
Next time i'll make sure get the middle one at sit at below haha.
Ya ya suddenly saw Uematsu and Arnie appeared at the lift haha.

Okay, this is one of those many photos in that concert. I'm uploading to flickr now, so this is just a teaser... and an interesting one

this is a god pose !

What is his left hand doing there?

Hey, guys!! I'm back from Singapore too. But not today lar, Sunday. Was too tired to reply to u guys, while yesterday went to share my exp with my fren. =p

The concert is fantastic!!! The songs are nice~ & it really is my dream to listen to FF music in real orchestra. Really exciting to attend it, especially Nobuo Uematsu attending!!! Met & talked to Nobuo Uematsu in person asked him to come to Malaysia in Japanese. =p Got his signature on my artbook too!!! It's really great!! It's really a memorable concert.

The songs that I like the most are
To Zanarkand
Aerith's Theme
Medley 2002
Opening - Bombing Mission
Fisherman's Horizon
Theme of Love
Love Grows
Opera "Maria and Draco" (Celes's song!! XD)
One-Winged Angel
& the surprise Terra's Theme, according to Arnie Roth!! Lol.

We had Terra's Theme as our 2nd encore piece, & it's really a lil surprising to know that too. It's a really nice song, especially in march ver. Sounds like I like every song. Haha. But these are not all of the songs performed too lar.

Anyway, here's some picture souvenir I've took. Some quite blur, especially Nobuo Uematsu's photo. Guess I was trembling too much due to the excitement. Lol. Visit my Facebook for more photos.

Wat!!?? All my posts are lost!!! Zzz... Now I've to reply all over again!

This post has been edited by SCC: May 26 2009, 10:05 PM

I also packed on this day. I depart at 12 midnite on 21st.

Soree, soree. Missed out. Now added to the list already. =p U're Singaporean?

I also got Nobuo Uematsu & Arnie Roth's signature on my artbook!!! Really happy!!! Finally, I can meet Nobuo Uematsu in person & I talked to him to & ask him to come to M'sia in Japanese too~ But too bad I didn't manage to take a photo with him & almost all of the photos I took of him are blur. Zzz... Perhaps my hand was trembling too much due to excitement. But my camera is really not good enough. I used my K750 to take. >< Forgot to bring camera... =(

So, I'm wondering which were u. I'm the 1st Malaysian that asked them to come to Malaysia during the Q&A session. Btw, my seat is at Row U of Stall, juz beside the 2 sound engineers.

I see... Soree for that. I was lucky enough for them to extend the autograph session for us until the last one is signed. The queue was long~ & I was among the last few in the queue & they said that it is for 20 mins only earlier. Really thx to Nobuo Uematsu & Arnie Roth for signing for us. =)

Btw, wat question did u ask?

Agree! How did u come back btw? I came back by Transnasional bus. It took 7 hours to reach & they actually went back via the old custom & stucked in the jam & went to JB to fetch other passengers. It sux man. Next time take First Coach lar.

Actually, I think that the video is distracting. I go there for music not for video. Lol. But perhaps this concert is cater for gamers more. Besides, there're more encore pieces lor~~ Why the audience didn't want to keep clapping~? =.=

Oh, really? He told u? I also found out that there're quite a number from Malaysia. The MC in Q&A session sounded like he doesn't hope the next ppl asking for question is not from Malaysia. ^^" Anyway, there're actually ppl come from Indonesia!!! I heard there're ppl even come from Vietnam! Wow. That's surprising. Shown, the attractiveness of this concert.

Wat's the link for this? Btw, add me in Facebook lar, u guys.

Yes, Malaysia Philharmonic Hall with Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO). One of my fren is the top trumpeter in M'sia. He actually said that the concert hall under the Petronas Twin Tower is one of the best concert hall, not sure is in South East Asia only or in the world lar. But the MPO is actually quite good around the world, the best in South East Asia, so means much better than the Singapore Festival Orchestra in Singapore.

This post has been edited by SCC: May 26 2009, 10:48 PM

I'm actually more interested in Clash On The BIg Bridge rather than Dancing Mad lor~ It is much nicer. While for JENOVA, it's good lar. I wonder how's it on orchestral ver.

Ya~ U're lucky~ Which seat did u buy? How much is it?

Really? ^^||

Of coz the quality of CD is better. CD is lossless. I extracted the songs from the CD as lossless on my pc. & the sound quality is very different from normal mp3. Sounds really nice~ But the file space is really a lot. ><

Lol! Wat a picture taken of Nobuo Uematsu.

This post has been edited by SCC: May 26 2009, 10:49 PM

SCC, my seat. Circle 1, DD, 56 and 57. SG54 each.

consider groud floor, and I am at level 1. very nice view. my show @ 5/23, 7:30pm last show.

pm me ur facebook id. keep me inform for Distant Worlds next visit to SE.

Yes, Air Arnie very suprised that another fan voice out from Malaysia.. ha

Wow SCC that's a long reply

As for me, I didn't manage to ask any question as the afternoon Q&A is held just before the autograph session I think? I was too busy queuing up to ask question and just a few more before my turn they said its times up

Btw, I think they have plan for Malaysia soon.. hopefully they really come to Malaysia so this time I won't miss the autograph




On this I actually shouted the most for Dancing Mad and Clash on the Big Bridge. Since Jenova is automatically the most famous so I didn't even shout



This post has been edited by s[H]sIkuA: May 27 2009, 12:08 AM

Yeah think they will consider after SG show.
Always post in FB hahaha. Twitter...

So, do u want me to add u to the list? Lol. I guess his surprise won't be as much as on the 1st day, as there're quite a number of Malaysian on the 1st day already. Haha. He might be surprised for the immense number of Malaysian though.

Pm-ed u. Anyone else want?

For some reason I knew that was you.
I am the LAST one who almost got the mic, but failed due to the lady who called out a REQUEST instead of a QUESTION.
so i'm fukin pissed, yes I am.
But oh well, at least i got his signature and stood side by side with him. No regrets, wonderful trip

darn it, i missed the arcade there...

Singapore @ 5/23 @ 7:30pm last show record.

Lol! Really? Well, it's really a wonderful trip lar. Didn't manage to take photo with him too... Btw, I been to the arcade there, didn't play though. Wat's so special there?

Nice one! Really feel like recording also, despite it might disrupt others lar. It's not much different also with others clapping. Lol. Anyway, thx for uploading!
