Does it? That isn't noted on VGMDB. The only track that has a credit like that is track 81. Should it be added?

Looking at the original PS2 album credits, Yoko Mori is credited for playing the piano in the original. According to FFX Ultimania Omega, her recording was added at the last minute, and up until then, the game used a temporary recording done by Uematsu himself. Is it possible that this temporary recording ended up in HD as a "new arrangement"? That'd be pretty goofy if so, but it would explain why Uematsu is credited for the track. But then why would Kuroda be credited?

Yeah, I don't know. If Kuroda was the one that performed the arrangement, it doesn't make sense why they'd do a new recording and not just reuse the one off the Piano Collection. Actually, since the original PS2 version was a real piano anyway, why did they bother redoing it in the first place? If the whole point was to replace the PS2 midis with live instruments, why would they replace something that was already live?
