A couple weeks ago, I had the great privilege to sit down, in the same room and at the same table and everything, with the amazing Nobuo Uematsu. Just in case that name is unfamiliar to you, you might at least know of his work writing almost all of the music for the Final Fantasy video game series.
The live show Distant Worlds, a night of orchestrated Final Fantasy favorites, is currently on tour. I saw them at their first stop in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had the chance to interview both Uematsu-san and conductor Arnie Roth before the performance. You can read the entire interview over at Japanator. You can get my review of the show there as well.
It's not often that we get to meet those people who have so strongly affected our lives from afar. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to talk with Uematsu-san and everyone else involved with the Distant Worlds production. My sincere thanks to them all.

Super jealous, I can only hope that one day I'll be able to meet the legend myself. I also wish they would do a similar show in England, just in London at the very least, but I guess there's just not enough demand compared with the US.
