This just in there was a Chrono Trigger reference on the hit NBC tv show Heroes.

Do tell!

(I don't watch Heroes or anything, but I really want to know the reference.)

This just in there was a Chrono Trigger reference on the hit NBC tv show Heroes.

Fascinating, do tell.

I got a newsletter sent to my e-mail by Amazon Japan. A Piano Solo Score Book will be released for Chrono Trigger on November 20th.

Now, note this: the scan of the cover is HUGE, if anyone can decrypt Amazon's Japan code, you'll get a kickass resolution pic.

I don't know, but this is kinda weird o.O it's been years since they released a Chrono score book.

What does that translate to in $?

[GenesisOne]

About $23. 

Quite reasonable, seeing how one can't find a free sheet music site providing quality scans of the individual scores.

[ZaichikArky]

Nice price drop. I think I paid 50 for mine. Something exorbitant like that... it was a while ago. http://csd.varlew.net/ct/ctsheet.php someone's scanned the entire original book there.

[GenesisOne]

Yeah, I've seen this site before.

Very resourceful for the piano-eager among us... like me.

1) I didn't know Masato Kato had a Twitter, that's pretty cool and might actually convince me to get an account. Also, apparently he's a Ghost in the Shell fan.

2) I love the guy, but seriously, this statement is jaw-droppingly retarded.

[ZeaLitY]

Damn, nice find, especially with Twitter. We'll have to get something translated asking if he'd ever like to speak with the Chrono Compendium and send it over. I'll try to make a news update tomororw unless someone beats me to it.

Direct link to his page, for all who are curious:

Haha, great find gatotsu! Kato's choice of "masa" as a Twitter screen name strikes me as a secret message to the Chrono community that he's still interested in the franchise, but perhaps it's best not to read into it too much.

We can have a weekly "Translate Kato's Tweet!" contest!

[gatotsu911]

It'd have to be more than weekly - he seems to update several times a day.

Also, I'd guess that "Masa" is just short for "Masato", but hey, a fan can dream. And hasn't he (or was it Mitsuda?) said that he's still interested in the franchise?

[FaustWolf]

That's right, Masa and Mune were "Grand" and "Leon" in the Japanese script. Heh.

[gatotsu911]

Sooo... anything new on this? Anyone start translating some of the Tweets?

No wonder, check his art work (RD or CT), he always signed the kanji '正/masa' in a square, which looks like 囸 (an alternate form of 日).
