u/Primary-Concert-2828

Last weekend in Milan there was a very cool event that hosted musicians and composers of videogame fame, and the highlight of the show was Akira Yamaoka, who played in Italy for the very first time. He was absolutely incredible and very gracious, he stayed a bit longer to sign fans' CDs and vinyls. I didn't think I'd get the chance so I didn't bring mine but I got to see greatness up close which was cool nonetheless 😄 and man, I cried.
He performed Laura's Theme, Promise, Letter from the Lost Days, I Want Love, Hell Frozen Rain, You're Not Here. Singers Ilona Ivanova and Mariya Anastasova (Baldur's Gate 3) did the vocals and Mark Choi (also BG3) played Promise Reprise on the piano. Unfortunately I did not get the name of the accompanying band but they were amazing. The guitarist was clearly having the time of his life.
Between me and my husband we managed to take a few videos, since it was allowed. Hope you enjoy!

This past weekend Noriyuki Iwadare was a guest at a beautiful music event here in Italy, and he conducted the orchestra playing music from Grandia and Lunar. He was adorable.
Grandia is literally a core part of who I am as a person and the soundtrack is burned into my brain. It's one of my earliest memories, as it came out in Europe just as I was starting to form those 😂 I remember my parents printing out pages and pages of guides to progress in the later dungeons. I replayed it a lot by myself growing up and around 13 I had actually started to draw it as a manga scene by scene haha. Needless to say, it was all very emotional. You can hear me sniffling in the video 😂
Enjoy!

I finally made good use of my Mattel Creations membership and bought these two beautiful ladies in blue. Hoping customs don't absolutely destroy me 😬 How does the Fashion Model doll look in person? I am considering repainting her lips because I looove her but hate that salmony/corally shade 😭
