Tokyo. Stockholm. London: three cities that have shaped my work. Returning to LSO St Luke’s, where Final Symphony first brought us to the LSO in 2013 for rehearsals, felt especially meaningful. A perfect finale to the Piano Fantasies album release tour with the fabulous @mischacheung.bsky.social.

Oh, hello London.

20 years. At our Piano Fantasies concert, performed by the brilliant @mischacheung.bsky.social, I was reminded that I have been coming to Stockholm for two decades now, and of how many great people I have been lucky to work with. It feels like coming home.

Oh, hello Stockholm.

Piano Fantasies was an emotional concert that reminded me why I originally decided to pursue this profession. It was the first time that one of my productions had its premiere in Japan, and I could not have wished for a more fitting place. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Our album is out now! I couldn’t be happier, and a bit busy too, with the world premiere concert here in Tokyo just a few hours away! @mischacheung.bsky.social

What an opportunity. Super grateful! 🥰

Oh, hello Tokyo. ❤️

In less than two weeks, we’ll already be in Tokyo to bring all this music to life on stage for the first time. @mischacheung.bsky.social

25 years ago, the first Merregnon album was released. It’s remarkable how strongly it has shaped my path - and still does. Cliché or not, your early twenties are the time to try, create, and learn while you can still take risks (almost) freely.

We are returning to Canada! I’m very happy to share that Final Symphony will be performed in Winnipeg in March 2026, once again conducted by Eckehard Stier and with Mischa Cheung @mischacheung.bsky.social at the piano.

Ten years ago today, Final Symphony II was performed in Osaka by the London Symphony Orchestra, the first time a foreign orchestra played video game music in its country of origin. Fans said they could sense the deep engagement, passion and love that went into it. @mischacheung.bsky.social

A melody for eternity: Secret of Mana - Fear of the Heavens by Hiroki Kikuta, performed by @mischacheung.bsky.social for the upcoming album Piano Fantasies - music from SQUARE ENIX, out October 31. Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=eU_r...

A dear childhood memory: playing Secret of Mana with my brother. Secret of Mana - Fear of the Heavens, composed by Hiroki Kikuta is now live, performed for Piano Fantasies by Mischa Cheung @mischacheung.bsky.social. Looking forward to Tokyo 31 Oct (concert sold out), the homeland of this music!

Final Symphony II with the London Symphony Orchestra, exactly 10 years ago today, and the start of our Japan tour with concerts in Osaka and Yokohama. An emotional, deeply moving time filled with some of my most cherished memories.

Four years ago, the concert film of Merregnon: Land of Silence with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra was released. Without a doubt one of the highlights of my career, and an opportunity I remain deeply grateful for. Photos: Yanan Li @yellowtone.bsky.social www.konserthuset.se/en/merregnon

Oh, hello London.

Almost exactly ten years ago, the world premiere of Final Symphony II took place in Bonn, Germany, featuring new arrangements of music from Final Fantasy V, VIII, IX, and XIII. The programme was set to embark on a world tour right afterwards. ♥️

A snippet from the choir rehearsal for X-Out, part of the Symphonic Shades concert featuring the music of Chris Hülsbeck @chrishuelsbeck.bsky.social, performed 17 years ago today. Jonne Valtonen’s @jonnevaltonen.bsky.social arrangement remains one of my absolute favorites to this day.

The second of four performance videos from Piano Fantasies – music from SQUARE ENIX is now online. This time it is Nobuo Uematsu’s lyrical music, sensitively performed by Mischa Cheung @mischacheung.bsky.social.

To mark the 22nd anniversary of the first video game concert outside Japan (yes, a slightly unwieldy title), I am resharing this wonderful retrospective by Sylvio Konkol on Spielkritik.com.

I will always be very grateful for all the learning experience I gained in Leipzig. What a wonderful opportunity!

Truly, hard to believe!
