Ooh looking forward to MFGT, I remember waiting for gt5 I think it was when prelude came out unexpectedly ( I hope I remember that correctly 😁)
 
I just hope the Pharrell Williams + PD collab doesn’t mean he’ll do a cover of it for GT8 like Bring Me To The Horizon did cus that version SUCKED. 🙈

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Pharrell just a vocalist? 'Cause a vocal version of MOtC has never been done before (well, other than the opera version in GT4's and the Manufacturer's Cup opening). It'd be interesting to hear one.

It's also just as likely that it's gonna be another Daiki Kasho composition, just with Pharrell. 'Cause... Kaz has gone on record in some Japanese press interview that he doesn't want to use MOtC all the time, so...

All I know without bothering to Google is that he sings the annoying Happy song and is one of the producers behind some kids movies. Was it Secret Life of Pets? Was it Minions / Despicable Me? I don't know. I forgot. Unless I remember wrong of course. It's past midnight and I tend to remember things wrong sometimes. :D

Funny how we finally got a global Moon Over The Castle intro and he says that? Interesting.
 
This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Polyphony Digital Marks PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary With Moon Over the Castle Rendition

The Polyphony Digital team has marked today’s 30th anniversary of the PlayStation console with an in-office rendition of the iconic Gran Turismo theme song Moon Over the Castle — which made its own debut almost 27 years ago...
This is one massive amount of awesomeness, really well done!

(well, other than the opera version in GT4's and the Manufacturer's Cup opening)
The absolute best version of of MOtC, it's perfect!

Yes, he did do "Happy" from Despicable Me. Which is apparently hated around these parts. lol... I just know Pharrell from his collabs with Snoop Dogg and Daft Punk, that's all. So... I think whatever he and Daiki Kasho are cooking up together for GT8 is gonna be fire.

And yes, Kaz did say that. Was in some Famitsu or something article for the 25th anniversary. Someone can dig it up.

My wife likes Double Life from Despicable Me 4. (the bass riff. She plays bass) :D
Yeah Get Lucky is ok I guess. I’m just not too into his genre, I’m a rock and metal man 🤘🏻 although I will give it to you. Since you’re mentioning Snoop Dogg: his version of Riders On The Storm is cool. :D ahh did nostalgia just hit for the wrong game here? :lol:

If I remember I’ll Google it tomorrow! Interesting.
 
What is "/s"? I am older than most...

If I had a dollar for each time an obvious sign of sarcasm was either missed or ignored, I'd have two dollars - which isn't much, but it's strange that it's happened twice in the space of 2 days.

I could only recognize the guy playing the guitar on the right, he is Junichiro Nakata.
Also my respects to the PD staff who had to organize that party and then fly to Amsterdam for the World Finals.
