13 year old me in 1999: wow this song is so awesome! 40 year old me in 2025: I started a whole choir just to do this...

NGL... Final Fantasy VIII had one of, if not THE, best openings of any Final Fantasy. Like, a whole cinematic story trailer right before you engage with the game, in an era when we didn't see everything months/ years before the game came out. Here we are performing Liberi Fatali.

If you want a Broadway musical that successfully puts Blackness in a white body, critiques everything that comes with doing that and provides social commentary on race in reconstruction era America, then go see WANTED. There's nothing else on or off Broadway that comes close.

"I also didn't think it was bad or problematic..." This is why I don't trust just anyone with handling issues specific to Black communities. You didn't find the slave musical where a slave falls in love with his white master even the slightest bit problematic?

This had two public workshops in London, everybody got paid by the show's producers and investors. I also didn't think it was bad or problematic, and those labels wouldn't have been so hastily attached with anyone but Todrick at the helm.

I recently saw Todrick Hall's new musical set during the US slave era. In the past 2 years I've started producing my own (small) shows/ concerts in NYC so I understand how difficult it is to get ANYthing on stage. With that, here's my review of MIDNIGHT medium.com/@blasianFMA/i-int…

MIDNIGHT REVIEW: 8 Years Later, We’re Still Having the Same Conversation.

Eight years after our conversation about reverse racism, structural power and Forbidden, Hall’s new slavery musical returns to the same…

??? Why did it go away in the first place? Could it be for something that they apparently didn't change? Something that got it in trouble the FIRST time?

Reading Nobuo Uematsu's biography has taken me back to the early 2000s. Before the internet was what it is, before streaming, before video game music was taken seriously... there were small communities of fans. I was part of it. I have friends from those days IRL now b/c of it.

seeing multiple flights from sac to sf is actually nuts like you could probably drive that in the same amount of time we so desperately need working high speed rail in this country

Yessss~ Just got tickets for Final Fantasy Distant Worlds next year at Carnegie Hall! Very excited about this concert, especially as I am finishing up Uematsu's biography. These concerts have a whole new meaning to me, and I have been going since the FIRST Distant Worlds.

Just to be clear: Square Enix’s Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy concert happened in Los Angeles on May 10, 2004. Video Games Live’s first concert was July 6, 2005. So yes. Square did it first. – at Brooklyn, NY

I wonder if Tommy Tallarico knows he was mentioned in Nobuo Uematsu's biography....

Holy... Uematsu doesn't hold back when talking about how Square changed after the merger: "The only people who were left were losers, liars and decievers - cowards who were scheming to get to the top and fill the spot Sakaguchi-San left..."

"Every night, they would go to drink, scheming behind closed doors about who was going to do what at tomorrow's meeting. Nothing was decided at the meetings, they were just formalities, but it was kind of an ugly environment, and I didn't want that to tub off on me... So I left."

I'm reading Nobuo Uematsu's biography and I just got to the section about Final Fantasy IX, Hawaii, and the spirits within. I need to know who all was over there. Smoking weed every night as Uematsu puts it... 😂 – at Brooklyn, NY
