To the Outskirts of Time Composition and Arrangement: Yasunori Mitsuda * = Composition and Arrangement: Nobuo Uematsu + = Composition: Noriko Matsueda Arrangement: Nobuo Uematsu Yasunori Mitsuda made his commemorative debut as a composer with none other than the one and only, "Chrono Trigger". This Mega-Hit RPG was created around the collaborative efforts of the "Dream Project", which included renowned game creators such as Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest), and Akira Toriyama (most famous for his comics, DragonBall). Yasunori, who was merely 21-22 at the time he composed these songs, comments that his fresh, novel (and somewhat immature?) sounds on here are the most notable aspects of his works during this period of time. His sounds back then were uncut diamonds; and despite revealing some aspects of unpolishedness at times, a countless number of his delicate "gems" have continued to captivate the hearts of fans all over the world. Even today, there are an unceasing number of people who are strongly devoted to his trademark "Chrono Sound" and this is probably because Yasunori's melodies, when united with the visual effects of the game, have a magical way of conveying unforgettably strong emotions upon the players. This could also be the reason why many of his representative works come from this game. And out of these many remarkable songs, the theme song, "Chrono Trigger" was composed under an enormous amount of pressure from the project director, Mr. Aoki, who said to him, "... you know, more people are going to be listening to this opening song than the entire number of Yuming (a reknowned Japanese singer) fans combined". But from within this tremendous pressure was born a masterpiece. And even though the sounds from the old Super Nintendo may sound somewhat "cheap and low quality" compared to today's high quality sounds, the song itself is exceptionally well written and has many unique qualities (even when compared to today's contemporary game music). It is a song filled with originality, the likes of which could only come from Mitsuda, and is also a piece of work that reflects upon his youthful and energetic spirit back then.
