Fave VGM #001: "Morning Sky" ~ Kumi Tanioka

Here's the English version of the opening song for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the Nintendo Gamecube. The game soundtrack was composed by Kumi Tanioka.

When I first heard this song, I was in awe. I just fell in love with the vocals and melody. It fits perfectly with the game.

After the previous Final Fantasies becoming more Sci-Fi in their storyline and art direction, it was nice to have a game returning to the medieval formula that I grew up with. The visuals are gorgeous and well executed.

So this is it, huh? I don't know if any other list has started off with something this good.

@BullseyeSinged This tune is what made me want to start to do a VGM list. I love Donna Burke. She has such an amazing voice.

[KelanDWood]

looking through your videos I realized you made your Fave Movie Themes Videos before your Fave VGM videos. Never would of imagined that.

[StakeJade]

@KelanDWood Yeah... I stopped making the Fave Movie Theme videos because... I didn't want to be shut down for copyright infringement like what happened to my two previous accounts. However, I've been thinking about reviving that aspect to my channel. I'm still working on the Fave Super Hero Movie themes for you.

[KelanDWood]

@StakeJade oh so movie themes are copyright but video games aren't? LOL

[StakeJade]

@KelanDWood Both are copyrighted of course. Haha.

@CrystallineWyvern

yeah i agree with you, but there was no fresh air and cool breeze.. only the miasma and stench of death... lol

@davea0511 This is just the first video in my VGM list; and it isn't a ranked list by any means.

[davea0511]

This is #1? Hmmm different strokes and all that I guess...

I've always loved this song! Too bad I could only be able to sing the lower back-up part. xD
