Chrono Trigger" & "Chrono Cross" Arrangement Album coming in October 2015

Crunchyroll – "Chrono Trigger" & "Chrono Cross" Arrangement Album Coming Soon (http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/07/27/chrono-trigger-chrono-cross-arrangement-album-coming-soon)

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations for Chrono Trigger, the beloved Super Nintendo / Super Famicom JRPG, Yasunori Mitsuda and Square Enix are publishing a new arrangement album featuring music from both Chrono Trigger and its sequel, Chrono Cross.

The album is titled Harukanarutokinokanatahe, which may translate to something like "Far Beyond the Distant Time", but it’s difficult to say, since the title is in Katakana with no Kanji characters to indicate a division of words and phrases.

Harukanarutokinokanatahe is a single CD album that retails for 3000 yen ($24.23 US) plus tax. It will hit stores on October 14, 2015.

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross Arrange Album / "Harukanaru Toki no Kanata e" (This title will be released on October 14, 2015.)

My tentative translation;

"Toward the distant, far off times"

If we could have someone update here, that would be awesome! The last thing I need is another forum account! LOL!

Very interesting!

I am super excited for this album. The music in both those games are god like. I am really hoping the remixes/arrangement are good.

Chrono Cross!! Yessuh… It’s finally getting an arranged soundtrack :). Plus, Chrono Trigger’s Brink of Time was somewhat insufficient as an arranged work, so it’s wonderful to get a new one proper.

Sarah �lainn, the vocalist from Xenoblade’s "Beyond The Sky" ending theme, is gonna be singing To Far Away Times from Chrono Trigger in the remix album

Big announcement for game (music) lovers! Worked on Yasunori Mitsuda’s Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross Arrange Album! Was an honour to be asked to write original lyrics and sing the album title song, "To Far Away Times".
Thought I’d dress the part of Schala-Kid-Zeal during the rec! ❤️ Sarah xxx

Game music composer Yasunori Mitsuda is set to release an arrange album to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of his work as a composer for the games Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Sarah �lainn records for the highly-anticipated soundtrack, writing original English lyrics to Mitsuda’s most loved-works, and singing songs including the album’s title track, "To Far Away Times" (Harukanarutokinokanatae).

The album will be released on 14th October 2015.

Thanks, I appreciate it. currently going through chrono trigger and hearing some music from the chrono symphonic which has made me appreciate chrono cross more for its musicality.

OMG, that arrangement of To Far Away Times is almost as beautiful as my future wife (whomever she may turn out to be…)

So it looks like Mitsuda is gonna use the lyrics Laura Shigihara wrote for her fan covers she made a while back on her youtube channel, along with her vocals. Its amazing that a fan cover singer would end up being in an arrangment album officially. 🙂 Laura has a lovely voice and it suits the two songs.

And compare to her two vocal covers here:

Eh?

Ehh??

There was mention of it already in this thread (Thread 195316), but I’ll drop it here too for those who may have missed it.

NicoNico today hosted a live stream promoting the upcoming arranged album. In addition to giving an early preview of the full album, the stream also treated us to three live arrangements: Wind Scene, Schala’s Theme, and On the Other Side / Epilogue ~ To Good Friends.

The arrangements sound very different from their album counterparts, as they’re a lot more acoustic and instrumental-based. Seeing as how they’re unlikely to appear on the album, I captured a recording. There’s a few slight sound anomalies in the recording (i.e. a hiss here and a crackle there), which was inherent in the stream itself. I fixed those as best as I could:

You are brilliant and awesome, good madam!

I downloaded it, and did some remastering with Ozone 5 to clean up and master the audio better, since I doubt we will get a official release of these tracks anytime soon.

My album has shipped from CDJapan via EMS in case anyone is wondering. it will arrive in a couple of days. 😉

I think i connected most with "Wind Scene" playing the game, astounding that it’s on the album! What a surprise to hear the flute!

Nice one! The remastering certainly makes the songs more punchy sounding. 🙂

Siliconera posted youtube links to the livestream acoustic tracks they performed live on Nico Nico

It as occured to me I have never seen Mitsuda perform music, since all this concerts and live performances were Japan only and none of those concerts were ever released on DVD.
