A Night In Fantasia 2009


Last Saturday, I went to this event where an orchestra is held. This orchestra, performed by Eminence, concentrated on anime and games soundtrack. I seldom heard of something like that, so it definitely interests me to go.

I went with 2 friends, which are cousins of my good friend. They are also interested in going.

This event is held at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. I went out at 1pm for a walk. Then met them at 4pm for dinner (because the event starts at 6pm). We had japanese for dinner, which we might not go another time for a reason. Below is my dinner.
We got to the place, and the inside is beautiful. There the stage filled with seats and instruments, and also a screen for footage. For some reason we are able to choose where to sit, and theres so many empty seats, so we chose to sit in the middle (our original seat is like the left side of the stage).

The program is divided to 2 parts, with a break in between. In between the musics there are sometimes interviews with special guests. Some of the guests came from Japan, and one of them is a seiyuu, Takahashi Chiaki, who voices Miura in IdolM@ster. And the director, a japanese violinist, does the translation for the japanese guests.

The quality of the music is spectacular. I dunno how to say it but they performed really well. And the conductor's moves are very fun to watch. Footage of games are shown on screen, but sadly no footage for anime, which i can understand why.

The programs are as follows:
Part 1:
  • Red Alert 3
  • Laputa, the Castle in the Sky
  • My Neighbour Totoro
  • Princess Mononoke
  • Darksiders
  • God of War 2
  • Soul Calibur
  • Astro Boy
  • Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Tsubasa Chronicles
  • Ace Combat 5
Part 2:
  • Death Note
  • AFRIKA
  • Chrono Cross
  • Dragon Age: Origins
  • Prince of Persia
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • The IDOLM@STER
  • Gears of War 2
And finally it is ended with an encore, featuring Metal Gear Solid.
