This week CocoeBiz and VGMusic have two items up for grabs. The first item includes Nobuo Uematsu's new Final Fantasy arranged album, The Black Mages. This album basically includes ten of the more popular battle music songs from Final Fantasy I - X done rock style via a synthesizer in most cases. Given that some people might consider sythesized music sub par to the real thing, next month, on April 26-27, there will be a live performance by The Black Mages for those lucky people that are in Japan. If you want more information, including music samples, please visit the official Black Mages website (Japanese).

The second item, our most "popular" item, will be our last copy of the Super Smash Bros Live Concert Orchestra album. As the name states, the CD includes orchestrated music performed live featuring many of the songs in Gamecube title, Super Mario Smash Bros. Melee. For more information on this CD, please take a look at Nintendo of America's Super Smash Bros. Melee Concert! news release.
