You can find composer Akira Yamoka’s personal message and more information at the Play For Japan Website here.
So there you have it. Yasunori Mitsuda, Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, and Laura Shigihara, and many others, all on one album. It’s rather amazing. Plus the cover art will be done by Yoshitaka Amano!
So keep an eye out for it. I’ll post more updates as I hear about it.
