How's everyone? I didn't have that good of a trip in England but now I'm back in Japan and things seem to be on the upside. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do a full review right now since I have to go again soon. I did manage to update Kongetsu with short article about Hachikuro Cafe. So check that one out if you're interested. I also want to mention this one since the single is kind of popular right now in Tokyo. This is basically the theme song to Final Fantasy XII game called Kiss Me Good-Bye. The singer is Angela Aki and she just released a single which contain the song along with a DVD containing 'Premium video'. The video basically features the song overlayed on top of old and new FFXII scenes.

Kiss Me Good-Bye
(English version)

You said my love is all you need,
See you through
But I know these words are not quite true.

Here is the path you're looking for
An open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore

Oh, I'll give you wings to fly,
Cast all your fears into the sky

Kiss me goodbye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me
Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

Kiss me goodbye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality

As times goes by I know you’ll see this of me
I loved enough to let you go free

Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky

Kiss me good-bye, love is mystery
All of my life, I’ll hold you close to me
Don’t shed a tear, for love’s mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

Kiss me good-bye, love’s memory
You put the dream in my reality

Angela Aki doesn't happened to be related to Misato Aki is she?

Anyways I like the new battle system in FFXII, it reminds me of when i used to play FFXI (with the exception that its much faster).

Angela Aki's cover of "EYES ON ME" on her new single, "Kokoro no Senshi", is actually pretty good.

I hope FFXII won't suck...At least the awesome pretty graphics will make up for it if the storyline is half-baked. Maybe.

Well, hope your second trip is better than your first one. It's bad that you have to go for a while but I guess it can't be help. We really do miss your reviews though. ^_^

I'm already on the preorder list for this. I have to finish Dirge of Cerberus as soon as possible to have time to play FFXII, and still leave time to level my character on FFXI online. Omg..... my poor social life....

I Love FINAL FANTASY! as much as SilentHill and ResidentEvil. My All-Time favourite game is FFVIII. greatest grafics for a PlayStation, storyline and characters you fell in love with, the MUSIC... awsome soundtrack. Really hope they make a second version of it...

Can't wait for Dirge of Cerberus and FFXII.... I know i'll be up all night playing those games! I CAN'T WAIT!

I don't know about other people, but Final Fantasy XII doesn't seem good to me. The battle system to me seems lame, and so far, the game just doesn't seem... well... all that great and/or interesting. No clue if the story is any good, but that is probably the only thing that could give this game a chance for me playing it. Currently right now, I'm waiting on FF13, I hope it goes back to its original battle system.

thx for the lyrics, although they are not 100% correct....
the first refrain goes something like this:

"Go, if you must move on alo~ne!

Ki~ss me Good-By~e! Lo~ve´s memory~
Fi~nd (?) your heart, and find your destiny
Won´t shed a tear........"

just wanted to you to know^^

FFXII is great!
