Seconded. The responsibilities of V&B music is very vague, though (I think Keiki Kobayashi contributed few to the game, and the main theme "Waltz for Ariah" was officially regarded as a rip-off of Michiru Oshima's a certain song by Namco since they announced there occurred a license problem with selling some ring tones - as much as I think "Waltz for Ariah" is very similar to Green Sleeves motive as well).
By the way, am I only the one who feel the website music sounds like a generic rip-off of Ryuichi Sakamoto (who I think a certain VGM composer is very influenced by, rather than Ravel or Debussy)? It's still very good, though.

If true, that's phenomenally good news.

Er... okay. I don't really see Walt for Ariah as an Oshima ripoff (and yes, that song was Keiki Kobayashi, as I understand it).

It sounds like Sakamoto's work, but it doesn't sound like a generic ripoff.

You cannot be that gullible.
On second thought...

That music sounds too shamelessly similar to SA's theme to be Hisaishi. He wouldn't ripoff his own music would he?
Joe Hisaishi? C'mon.
It may sound vaguely like Hisaishi but it doesn't have his usual signatures within the music.
That and the fact that he'd never do something for a video game due to his price tag. The stepping stone tree of composers in Japan usually goes video games > anime & advertisements > films.

I don't think Kobayashi was the composer of Waltz for Ariah. It doesn't bear no resemblance to his subsequent music. As for it being a Michiru Oshima rip-off, many people say its main melodic material is similar to "Sharion" which was composed by Oshima, and I hear Namco once admitted to it having a copyright problem.ethelred said:
In any case, it's a totally-unrelated matter. I don't mind Sakuraba scoring this game, ultimately, but I'd be happier to hear another soundtrack by V&B staffs.

I really, really doubt this is Sakuraba's work.

LOL! You can't blame me. Hell those guys didn't even bother to credit the source. They acted like they translated it themselves.

It'd be pretty weird if Sakuraba was not doing the music for a tri-crenscendo game.
edit: Keiki Kobayashi? Yeah, that'd be a cool choice.
But we all know the best choice is Go Shiina. Damnit.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
GAME Watch posted a couple additional screens I hadn't seen in here...
Also, a closeup of the main character's face...

Yeah, I would like to know what it says also. Hopefully we get a more detailed gameplay explaination soon. Also, is this coming out in 2008?
