The music is greater than I expected!
I spend more on listening the music rather than playing the game.
By the way, does another version of “The Known World” really exist??
I would love to listen to the track if it is. Is it possible??
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
Sekito is here. Thank you for your message.
Mr. Yamanaka will be answering the question for “The Known World” instead of me.
【Mr. Yamanaka comments;】
Yamanaka is here. Thank you for the message.
Basically the other version of “The Known World” is indeed, the outtake track.
Please think that track have gone to the outer space.
The first impression of the track for me, which has gone to the outer space, was that it sounded very heavenly.

When composing the music for “THE LAST REMNANT”, did you consider to compose “Saga” series of the game music consciously?
【Mr. Sekito comments】
Sekito is here. Thank you for the message.
The project “THE LAST REMNANT” is considered to be a brand-new RPG series.
I have been trying to work as a brand-new series as oppose to existing ongoing series of the game titles.
【Mr. Yamanaka comments;】
Yamanaka is here. Thank you for your message.
The development team of “THE LAST REMNANT” has a awareness for developing brand-new series of RPG. I have been also working to create a complete new style for the music.

Hello,
I have been a huge fan of the music of Mr. Sekito since the “Brave Fencer Musashiden”.
I like the track “Reversal” and “Press to Victory” the most, out of the tracks from the soundtrack of “THE LAST REMNANT”.
I have a question for Mr. Sekito.
I would like to know which track is Mr. Sekito`s favourite track from the soundtrack.
And, I would also like to know how long has Mr. Sekito spent for all the composition work of “THE LAST REMNANT”.
I am very interested in knowing how long it has been spent for the work after seeing such a huge amount of the tracks for the soundtrack.
If possible, I would like to know about the use of equipment as well.
I am very looking forward to hear new music from Mr. Sekito, if he composes the music
for the future title of the game from Square Enix.

Sekito is here, Thank you very much for your message!!
>I have been a huge fan of the music of Mr. Sekito since the “Brave Fencer Musashiden”.
Good old “Musashiden”!!! It has been 10 years ago since the release of the game, I am very flattered by you remembering all these years!
>Mr. Sekito`s favourite track
Well, my favourite track from the soundtrack has to be the music for the ending of the game! I would love for you to complete the game to listen to the music.
>And, I would also like to know how long has Mr. Sekito spent for all the composition work of “THE LAST REMNANT”.
For my everyday`s task for composition work involves with me holding a post for other projects alongside of the “THE LAST REMNANT”. I feel that it is hard to say the specific period of time that I spent for the production. I am very sorry about that.
Simply put, when I compose music usually, I spend approx. a couple of days for finishing music. That is when the music meets with the demand for my first attempt!
For the use of equipment, I will pass on this question to Mr. Yamanaka.
【Mr. Yamanaka comments;】
Yamanaka is here. Thank you for the message.
>If possible, I would like to know about the use of equipment as well.
I will answer this question on behalf of Mr. Sekito, then.
Usual procedure for the production of music in battle, for example, Mr. Sekito composes a demo version of the music by using the software called “Logic”.
He was recording his electric guitar part at this point of the process.
We bring the music to the director of the project, we goes into the process of arrangement of the music, if the director gives OK for the music.
After that, Mr. Sekito gives me a data to me, and then I move to the process of sound mixing and refining of the music. This is an example of the procedure for the production, not including all the details. The most of the time though, we spend a lot more time for the production.
【Marushi Akio comments;】

Personally, I did not know about the equipment at all...
