SQEX-10555: BRA★BRA FINAL FANTASY Gaiden: Minna de Bravo!

[Myrkul]

Can anyone confirm there are 2 hidden tracks at the end (tracks 15-16) ?

[XISMZERO]

Yes. Track 15 is a silent, 6 second track. Track 16, however, is an incredible jazz-funk tune with sax and trombone solos on the lines of Incognito and other inspired 70s funk bands. I can't pin the cover here but it's quite a surprise!

Not sure who arranged or performed though it sounds like Masato Honma of JAM Company on the saxophone.

argh i have not seen this pop up yet on YJA... i wish it would soon so i can nab a copy...

Track 15 has the Chocobo "kweh" sound effect

Track 16 is loosely based on the song "Birth of a god" from FFVII, I was quite surprised when I finally recognised it, sounds completely different

[Phonograph]

when I listen to it, it sounds more like a medley but I never succeeded in confirming by ears which ones (even that ffvii one)

One just ended for 4,700 yen. I guess this one isn't going for sale anytime soon, even digitally. A dubious move by the merchandising machine that is Square Enix.

I more or less expect it to show up as an 'event only' item @ TGS'16, as they usually do for this kind of release.

[XISMZERO]

Amazon Japan has copies up there now. They seem to go new for 4,000 yen.

Could track 15 be credited to Eiji Nakamura since he is listed as Sound Engineer in the original FF7 credits? The track only features the chocobo sound effect which he likely created.

Any chance someone with a Twitter account could ask if JAMCompany (@JAMcompany) did arrange/perform Track 16? Users in other album discussions have had success with getting replies this way.

edit: maybe ask them if they want to unofficial give a title too?


edit 2: Track 6 also appears on the Beer SQ album and performer credits are listed there:

Wood Bass: Wataru Iga / Drums: Kousuke Wakiyama / Trumpet: Chiaki Miura
Trombone: Kayoko Yuasa / Alto Tenor Saxophone: Junko Kato
Mix: Tetsuya Yamamoto
Studio: Megurusoko / Engineer: Tetsuya Yamamoto

They don't seem to be an associated group, which is likely why they weren't given a performer's credit like the other tracks.
