This is obviously playing heavily into the nostalgia factor, but I'm quietly confident this will be good. Many of the arrangements will already have been well-established for Mitsuda's recent 20th anniversary concert, and if the recording has the same musicians there should be some tested chemistry there. Kira-san at the very least will play a part, and there's very little they've collaborated on before that I haven't loved. If it turns out Hitoshi Watanabe will be providing bass (he didn't do the concert, but maybe he wasn't available), then things get even more exciting.
