Melodies of Life

melodies of life(Ӣ�İ�)
����:����Ӣ����
alone for a while i've been searching through the dark
for traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
to weave by picking up the pieces that remain
melodies of life - love's lost refain
our paths they did cross
though i cannot say just why
we met, we laughed, we held on fast
and then we said goodbye
and who'll hear the echoes of stories never told
let them ring out loud till they unfold
in my dearest memories
i see you reaching out to me
though you're gone
i still believe that you can call out my name
a voice from the past
joining yours and mine
adding up the layers of harmony
and so it goes, on and on
melodies of life
to the sky beyond the flying birds
forever and beyond
if i should leave this lonely world behind
your voice will still remember our melody
now i know we'll carry on
melodies of life
come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
as long as we remember

Eyes on Me

lyrics:kako someya Ⱦ�Ⱥ���
music:nobuo uematsu ֲ�����
arranger:shirou hamaguchi ���ʷ��

whenever sang my songs
on the stage, on my own
whenever sad my words
wishing they would be heard
i saw you smiling at me
was it real or just my fantasy
you'd always be there in the corner
of this tiny little bar

my last night here for you
same old songs, just once more
my last night here with you
maybe yes, maybe no
i kind of liked it your way
how you shyly placed your eyes on me
did you ever know
that i had mine on you

darling, so there you are
with that look on your face
as if you're never hurt
as if you're never down
shall i be the one for you
who pinches you softly but sure
if frown is shown then
i will know that you are no dreamer

so let me come to you
close as i wanted to be
close enough for me
to feel your heart beating fast
and stay there as i whisper
how i loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
that i had mine on you

darling, so share with me
your love if you have enough
your tears if you're holding back
or pain if that's what it is
how can i let you know
i'm more than the dress and the voice
just reach me out then
you will know that you're not dreaming

darling, so there you are
with that look on your face
as if you're never hurt
as if you're never down
shall i be the one for you
who pinches you softly but sure
if frown is shown then
i will know that you are no dreamer

Nobuo Uematsu - Composer


Nobuo Uematsu was born on March 21, 1959 in Kochi, Japan. After graduating from Kanagawa University, he composed music for commercials before joining Square Co., Ltd. (now Square Enix Co., Ltd.) in 1986. He went on to compose music for over thirty game titles, including the award-winning FINAL FANTASY series. The FINAL FANTASY franchise has developed into one of the best-selling video game series across all platforms, selling over 60 million units worldwide (as of March 2004). Uematsu's soundtracks were a key element in the success of the series, carrying the deep storylines with sweeping emotional scores. In October 2004, Uematsu formed SMILE PLEASE Co., LTD. and continues to compose for Square Enix along with several other works.

Uematsu is a renowned composer who has been touted as increasing the appreciation and awareness to the advancements made in videogame music. A prime example is the FINAL FANTASY VIII theme song, "Eyes on Me," composed and produced by Uematsu. The theme song featured Hong Kong pop diva Faye Wong and sold a record 400,000 copies. It then went on to win "Song of the Year (Western Music)" at the 14th Annual Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1999-- the first time music from a video game won the honor.

The music from the game series has grown to such notoriety, Nobuo Uematsu was named as one of the "Innovators" in Time Magazine's "Time 100: The Next Wave - Music" feature. Uematsu's approach to FINAL FANTASY music is diverse, encompassing many styles. This diversity along with the popularity of the music has resulted in a variety of musical performances including classical symphonies, rock and acoustic.

After a string of successful concert performances in Japan including a six-city, seven-show concert series titled "Tour de Japon ? music from FINAL FANTASY?," the first stateside concert, "DEAR FRIENDS -music from FINAL FANTASY-," followed May 10, 2004 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Calif. selling out in 3 days. The performance featured music from world-renowned FINAL FANTASY video game series, performed by the acclaimed Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Due to the positive reception for this performance and clamor from fans for more, a concert series was recently announced for North America.

In February 2003, Uematsu formed a group called "The Black Mages," producing a self-titled album composed of FINAL FANTASY battle music arranged in rock style. Uematsu performs as the keyboardist himself. A two-day concert was held in Tokyo, Japan, commemorating the album. In January 2005, the Black Mages are scheduled to perform another series of concerts in Tokyo and Osaka, celebrating the release of the second album.

While he is best known for his work in video games, Uematsu's work spans a wide-range of outlets. Some of those works include composing the theme song for the animated film "Oh! My Goddess" and writing music for top Japanese vocalists such as Emiko Shiratori and Rikki.

It is not Uematsu's musical talents that fans are drawn to. Uematsu is known for his down to earth personality and openness with his fans in diary columns online and in print. His column "Nobuo Uematsu no Minna Sounano?" has appeared in the popular Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu for over two years. Two compilations of the columns have been released.

1998 - 1999 Uematsu oversees and contributes music to "Ten Plants," a compilation of works by game music composers.
2000 Uematsu composes "Try to Wish (What You Need)," the theme song of the animated feature "Ah! My Goddess." It is sung by Saori Nishihata and published by Pony Canyon.
2000 2000 Uematsu contributes the song "Forget Me Not" to Emiko Shiratori's solo album Cross My Heart.
2000 Classical flutist Kazunori Seo commissions a piece for his program for his tour in Japan. Uematsu composes "Three Imagined Scenes," a piece for flute and piano.
2001 Uematsu composes "Over the Fantasy," the theme song of the animated series FINAL FANTASY: Unlimited, presented by TV Tokyo. Kana Ueda provides vocals for the piece.
