We told you that Distant Worlds II was on the way back in December, and wow does time fly. The new show with an all new line-up of arrangements and a new CD release (which was just recorded in January) to go along with it is right around the corner, and a number of shows have been announced, many of which are hitting the west coast, and many which will feature the man himself in attendance.
The tour will be hitting Stockholm, Sweden on June 12, 2010 with the debut of Distant Worlds II, where Uematsu will be in attendance. They will then travel to San Francisco on for two concerts on the evenings of July 15 and 16 with both Uematsu and vocalist Susan Calloway traveling out for the performances. It’s then down to OSV’s backyard in San Diego on July 22, 2010, and then on to Houston, Washington DC, Chicago, and Toronto (with Uematsu) to take us through November 2010. Meet and greet tickets will be available at shows that Uematsu will be attending, and AWR Music Productions is promising more show announcements in the coming months.
Are you looking forward to the revamped series? Are you with me in hoping they’ve included “Troian Beauty” from Final Fantasy IV?

Any songs from the pre-FFVII games would satisfy me. “Dancing Mad” was on the top of that list, even though they didn’t play the ENTIRE piece, which is understandable.
Unfortunately, the answer to the Troian Beauty question will be in the upcoming interview we did. And the answer is “no, not for Distant Worlds II. Maybe for III?”
As Law said, there’s a whole host of pre-FFVII music I’d like to hear in Distant Worlds. Troian Beauty ranks high, as does “Eternal Legend of Wind” from FF3.
