Through his arrangements for the Final Fantasy series, Shiro Hamaguchi-san's work has been heard by (and moved) millions. His work with Nobuo Uematsu-san's compositions at times helped them to realize new levels of expansive majesty and, at others, a poignant intimacy. Though a cursory glance at Wikipedia reveals his orchestral arranging to be more widely acknowledged, I would argue that he displays equal prowess, if not more so, in his arrangements for piano. As a composer and undergraduate music student I found myself continually inspired by the diversity and effectiveness of his "Final Fantasy VIII Piano Colections". To fully appreciate the creativity and skill of Hamaguchi's Final Fantasy VIII piano arrangements, the original material should first be heard in its native context. For instance, track 9 of the collection, Silence and Motion, was originally an eccentric, quirky track powered by the Playstation synthesizer. In Hamaguchi's hands, he makes it sweeping, epic and his own.
