I’m pretty sure you guys know by now that I am completely in love with Akari Kaida. Her work on Breath of Fire III is some of my favorite game stuff of all time, and she’s back on the Luminous Arc series with this week’s release of Luminous Arc 2 from Atlus on the DS. Also, this game includes a music CD. Did you notice the giant announcement on the box art above?
We were fortunate enough to have Norihiko Hibino catch up with both Yasunori Mitsuda, who acted as the title’s sound director, and elusive composer Akari Kaida to talk up their work on Luminous Arc 2. Oh, and I couldn’t help myself, so I had to ask Akari Kaida a bunch of questions about her past and her work on past titles. As far as I know, this is the first time Kaida has spoken with international media, so I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Hit the jump for our interview with Mitsuda and Kaida. (more…)
