    Wizards and Warriors Techno/EURODANCE Remix!!! Japanese lyrics and all! Second game remix, and one of the best. Not out-done by Eres Des Points, this song combines trance/EURO/club/and techno all in one, plus a J-Tek feel to it in the melody. Listen!

    Story Behind the Song
    DJ Crono proves that his initial, unique + excellent (even if the rapping wasn't him) Final Fantasy 6 debut ReMix wasn't just a fluke with this excellent follow up from Wizards & Warriors. This is the oft-mixed main theme, so expectations were already riding high in my mind as we've seen several quality iterations of this theme over the years. Fortunately, Crono's is distinct enough to carve its own niche - actually "distinct" may be an understatement as - love it or leave it - Dj Crono himself raps to original lyrics . . . in Japanese. Now that there's something you don't see every day. The vocals are mixed a little loud, but to me it was passable and mad props for even attempting something of this nature have to be given. Check out the lyrics + translation to see what's what. On to the music - LOVE the bassline here: elastic saw overtop a pounding house beat, extensive vocal samples in addition to the actual rapping (which is actually layered with singing too, btw), monoglide and thin, isolated piano, with lots of other synth textures and rhythmic vices appearing, and some brief solos as well. I think you have to get into the general atmosphere of being slighty goofy (i.e. the shouts of "DJ Crono!!" and the "Give it to me" bits) and just having a lot of fun to appreciate the entire package, but the music itself is on the level. Crono is definitely doing his own thing, in more ways than one, and I think that's great, esp. for source material like this and his FF6 Terra mix, which are both songs that have been covered up and down and (arguably) don't need "yet another techno" mix. I don't know, this'll probably be a love-it hate-it mix for a lot of people, but I had fun with it and I think the lyrics are pretty dern respectable. Recommended, if you've read this far and are still on board :)

    Lyrics
    "Kono Sekai De" (Ever-Changing World)
    © 2003 Jovette Rivera

    hito no naka de nani wo motome oikaketan daro
    kotoba dake ja wakariaezu kidosukete namida shita
    mogakeba mogaku

    futari koto made kita koto ga boku no yuki no
    akashi dakara kawari tsuzuketeru
    kono sekai de kono sekai de

    futari no yoru wo sasotte yo
    amae jouzu ga yake kokoro no
    Can't hide, can't fight, pull back,
    you're giving everything you got and more
    Hoping she feels the same way about you.

    Translation:

    We must be seeking something in people,
    Just with words we don't understand each other and end up in tears,
    Loneliness wanders about as impatient as can be.
    Let's become one, Because it's the proof of my courage,
    In this ever-changing world, ever-changing world.
    Inviting a night, Good at spoiling oneself poor at despair.
    Can't hide, can't fight, pull back,
    you're giving everything you've got and more
    Hoping she feels the same way about you.
