Amazing. Nobuo Uematsu is my all time favorite composer. Thank you for being alive sir! You changed my life! I would have never been a musician without you!
Nobuo Uematsu Anata wa kanashīdesu demo chōdo anata ga anata no ongaku de mainichi nan hyaku man - ri mo no hitobito o kobu suru koto o shitte iru! Watashi wa anata o aishite!
Imho the best composer ever. He does a lot of similar sounding things but, he has composed some of the best most wonderful music in gaming and in general. I still one day would love to go to a concert. Im just never in the right place at the right time.
They do sound similar, but it's only his motif coming through in his music. The same can be said of Mozart, Bach and the other giants =-] I love that he hasn't betrayed melody like so many musicians have nowadays
This man influenced my life immensely. Final Fantasy, its stories and especially the music, definitely shaped who I am now. Long live the God of video game music. Nobuo mastered the "Composer" job, with his current level being +999.
This man should be immortalized in the same manner as Beethoven and other great composers. and what pisses me off, is that he may never get the recognition her truly deserves.
Nobuo Uematsu single handedly inspired me to become a musician. I am now a mostly self taught composer and performer, and I owe everything to this man.
that was an awesome interview. That last answer he gave I couldn't agreed more. Do whats in your heart and whatever make you happy. Never follow a trend because they die out quickly.
I remember playing Final Fantasy games for the Super Nintendo back when I was a kid. I didn't realize video game music had such an impact when a few years later I enter an Electronic Boutique's store and there on display was Final Fantasy 7 playing a very familiar theme. I just stood around the display screen wanting to listen to the whole theme and thinking... I best pre-order this game.
I've listened to nearly every Soundtrack, Classical song, and nearly every Video Game song. I have to say, Nobuo Uematsu has the most emotion and talent enforced upon his music. He is a Legend and will always be remembered by Composers and Fans all around the world.
He undoubtedly IS a genius, i think that is undisputable, but what comes as a pleasant surprise is just how modest , funny and basically a great person he is. Respect. Respect. Respect!
I meant to say was I Love You Nobuo Uematsu because of you, I am half the man I am today!!! You have inspired me and my life, more than you will ever know. I pray one day I will have the greatest honor to meet the genius you ARE!!
I completely agree with you. It's next to impossible to get that kind of opportunity anymore because the entire system has been restructured almost 100% around the education system, killing a lot of people's chances at actually getting anywhere real in life, forcing them to become a drone to society. I opted out, and am working on games of my own, something I wouldn't be able to pull off if I followed the path they tried to lie down in front of me >.>
The greatest video game music composer of all time. Hell one of the greatest composers of all time. I can not think of anyone who has written music that touches me in the same way.
His music has literally changed my life. I swear to God. I will always remember Final Fantasy. Everytime I listen to a song, it takes me back... All the memories. I love Uematsu. I will cry my heart out when Uematsu dies, like the whole world got a deep scar from Michael Jackson`s death.
@moeloehoe, yes, I guess you could say Uematsu was a rebel. I do admire him for doing what he does regardless of whether people classify him as a "professional" or not. Many "professional" musicians do not love music at all, and it shows in how they play and what they write...
I've had immense respect for this man for years, and wanted to see an interview of him for quite some time. . I am more than massively disappointed to hear him dubbed over with this young woman's voice. I hate how I can't stop laughing at what I've anticipated for months.
@masterassassin1 Dude just go to Distant Worlds as VIP. You get to meet him and Arnie Roth very briefly. He was also sat like 4 seats away from me during the concert ;D
omg he's alredy working on ff14!!! music is like the life of every ff game and the amazing grahpics square is one of the greatest gameing companies ever
Yeah...that last bit about aspiring musicians was nice. And seems very relevant for this time in music. I think a lot of people are listening to music and being influenced to play music a certain way or a certain style...when they hear something they like or something that is doing well for the time. I hear so much music today that sounds quite similar that it just makes me sick. Don't get me wrong...there are a lot of gems out there. Be original...be yourself.
I wish he would come back to Final Fantasy. He brought that series to life and gave it a soul you know what I mean? God he is such an inspiration! Dont get me wrong, FF12 was ok and FF13 is bad ass...But...Something about Nobuo's work just makes the games shine.

Please listen Nobuo Uematsu! :) :)
I loved to hear that Uematsu Sama is self taught! So am I so I feel even more of a connection with him now...
Uematsu is a genius. By far and away my favourite video game composer.
Imho the best composer ever. He does a lot of similar sounding things but, he has composed some of the best most wonderful music in gaming and in general. I still one day would love to go to a concert. Im just never in the right place at the right time.
There will be concerts in Europe next year (March, May). Barcelona, Amsterdam

Uematsu is up there with composers like Beethoven and will go down in history. I'm lucky to have lived when this guy did!
This man left an impression on my childhood, his music is outstanding.

FUCKING LEGEND
Thanks for uploading!!!!!!!!!!!! Really inspired me!!! GOD BLESS!!
Went to paris to see his Music, was amazing - he even showed up!
Honestly, if you have the chance go see the Distant Worlds Orchestra live.
that was an awesome interview. That last answer he gave I couldn't agreed more. Do whats in your heart and whatever make you happy. Never follow a trend because they die out quickly.
Thank You, Master Uematsu. I want to learn to compose like you, and follow in your footsteps. This really helped.
Nobuo, you are such a great inspiration for music artists around the world. We will never forget your work and your wonderful talent!
Seeing FF concert would be a dream come true :)
did it last year when i was in japan. it was incredible. he also threw in some lost odyssey music.
11:27 - hearing the background behind the Sephiroth music is so damn cool! thank you to whoever made this video. thumb up
What a modest guy. He has written many brilliant pieces.
it's amasing how the greatests composers are also the more humbles !!!
this guy is a genius !
This guy is a genius in terms of sensing a songs potential for a particular part of a video game, I love this guy!
This was uploaded on my birthday last year!

Good..he's one of my favorite composer ever..
he gave me a lot of inspiration..
this company just isnt the same without him, it makes me really sad that hes gone, TT
I've listened to nearly every Soundtrack, Classical song, and nearly every Video Game song.
I have to say, Nobuo Uematsu has the most emotion and talent enforced upon his music. He is a Legend and will always be remembered by Composers and Fans all around the world.
If I ever had the chance to meet this man, the first thing I would do is kneel down to him. He deserves that much respect.
He undoubtedly IS a genius, i think that is undisputable, but what comes as a pleasant surprise is just how modest , funny and basically a great person he is. Respect. Respect. Respect!
aeris's theme for piano is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that ive been fortunate to experience, its not a song its an experience
he's a great music composer
great vid
love Uematsu's music. He's had a lot of influence over my style.
Has anyone ever heard more about the recorder quartet he mentions at 4:15?
i'm in love with nobou , just makes me cry :'(
Anybody know the tune at 3:49 ? This is the first time I hear it and I love it immediately.
Matoya's Cave

The greatest video game music composer of all time.

The most amazing music composer on the planet.
@Masterheart was it at anime boston? casue thats where I saw him.
@moeloehoe, yes, I guess you could say Uematsu was a rebel. I do admire him for doing what he does regardless of whether people classify him as a "professional" or not. Many "professional" musicians do not love music at all, and it shows in how they play and what they write...
The Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX Piano Opera is realised, listen to it!
I like the Final Fantasy background music
I've now become even more proud that I play the timpani, knowing he held such a respect and curiosity for timpani. :D
pretty great!
The world is not ready for that. That would be crazy epic if they did.
this guy change my music style!!!
For me he's the best!
The Black Mages are so awesome!
Nobuo is the man
i cant belive it.. 10 mints for a master peac GOD !! your just so talanted!!! P.S i know i have bad spelling
A double composition between Nobuo Uematsu and Junya Ota(ZUN) would make my life complete. They both were self taught in music.
you are right about that!
Best Composer Ever. Uematsu Nobuo
respect !
Same goes for yoko :(
Nobuo is a musical genius and has a coolass bandana.
Best thing Gamespot did was this video.
THEE Greatest Musician of all time nuff said
a true legend, i hope he does the soundtrack for FFXV
I never thought that the intro for the game was actually done in 10 minutes....
i'm almost convinced by the voice really, tehee
Nobuo Uematsu Kicks ass.
he is the man! FFX OST FOREVER!!
Nobuo Uematsu is a genius godman. He must be in possession of the universe.
hmm, where an i find that Fortune Teller ?
what a modest and lovely man lol
Heeehe love how he said timpani :D
Amen!
I've had immense respect for this man for years, and wanted to see an interview of him for quite some time.
.
I am more than massively disappointed to hear him dubbed over with this young woman's voice. I hate how I can't stop laughing at what I've anticipated for months.
@MetalBru01 youre right, it only works that way if it's live
Nobuo Uematsu= GOD!
@masterassassin1 Dude just go to Distant Worlds as VIP. You get to meet him and Arnie Roth very briefly. He was also sat like 4 seats away from me during the concert ;D
Did he ever release that album consisting of the songs he wrote when he was younger?
omg he's alredy working on ff14!!! music is like the life of every ff game and the amazing grahpics square is one of the greatest gameing companies ever
did they forget to bring the mic to the interview?!
@chrisrich1990 Timpani?
Wark! Wark! Wark!
hi nobou

Good interview, but it's quite disturbing to see Uematsu "speaking" with a women's voice. Next time, please just put subtitles, it will be fine :)
Seriously? 🤔
its like she's the one being interviewed
coolest. pirate. ever.
Nobuo Uematsu = genius
I wish he would come back to Final Fantasy. He brought that series to life and gave it a soul you know what I mean? God he is such an inspiration!
Dont get me wrong, FF12 was ok and FF13 is bad ass...But...Something about Nobuo's work just makes the games shine.
wax in wax out!!!
lol it would be awesome to have nobuo uematsu as my mailman!
Haha felt like I was watching MXC!
