As previously announced on the home page, Noriyuki Iwadare is doing the music for Grandia III. This is confirmed.

SPLENDID. When are we going to hear more about this, when it will be released, how many discs, tracks, price, etc.?

Please tell me it's NOT going to be published in MULTIPLE installments, like the Grandia, Grandia II, and Star Ocean 3 soundtracks were; I HATE when publishers do that! Just give me the entire soundtrack together!

I completely agree. Let's have the whole thing published in one set so we can just buy it and be done with it.

There are no details yet. Unfortunately, the packaging of the music is often not in the musician's control. Blame the publisher instead.

So, how can we contact the publisher? Think they'll even give us the time of day to hear us? I know the publisher is going to be Japanese, and our messages probably won't even get translated...but there's got to be some way we can get in touch with them. :/

As I said before, the Japanese companies only care about the Japanese market. The only way you would probably be listened to is if you know enough Japanese to read the publisher's website and email/call them. But once they know you are overseas, they will probably politely say that they do not do business outside Japan.

At this point, we don't even know who the music publisher is.

There isn't any real way to convince these companies. If they don't want to be reasoned with, they won't.

You are much better off just waiting for a fan translation.

Ah hah! You know, I wasn't ready to say 100% it was Iwadare even after listneing to the sample tracks on the website...but I couldn't imagine anyone else trying to copy the Grandia "feel" the samples had, so I am glad it's him and not someone else. Definitely going to look forward to his Grandia III stuff. The samples own.
