Yes, it's true! The concert in Detroit will also be star-studded.

"The PLAY! concert in Detroit is going to feature an exclusive suite of music written by Hitoshi Sakimoto, to be announced at a later time."

HOLY JESUS CHRIST!

Gotta get to Detroit!

Well, at least some other towns get to have some exclusive stuff too!

This kind of thing would start making it tempting for me to go see a second show...

Eminem is also rumored to be in possible attendence at this one.

Isn't that what they announced anyway.
Chicago gets the most love, Stockholm gets Huelsbeck & Uematsu, Detroit Shimomura & Sakimoto. I doubt it is going to stop there...

Maybe Yoshihiro Sato and Ryuji Sasai will attend a concert >_>.

Does Ryuji Sasai even exist anymore?  :\

No care for Sato? Sasai's biography on Squaresound says he is a bassist for a band called Queen Mania but I bet that band disbanded some time ago.

Actually before the name was mentioned here, I had no idea who Yoshihiro Sato was.  It took me more searching on the internet than I expected, too, since most of the results were for a Japanese kickboxer of the same name.  >_<
