VHS | Dragon Quest Fantasia Video (1988 Live Action Orchestra Musical) | ドラゴンクエスト ファンタジア・ビデオ

A Japanese retail video tape that includes a fantastic orchestral concert of some of the most memorable songs from the first three Dragon Quest/Warrior games, conducted by series composer Koichi Sugiyama and performed by the Alefgard Symphony Orchestra (made up of members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra). In addition to footage of the symphony, the music helps tell the story of a young descendant of the legendary hero Roto and his companions on a quest to slay a dragon, which is live action mixed with fantastic special effects and animation, as well as elements from Dragon Quest I-III. The look and feel of the live action scenes is something straight out of Willow or other popular 80s fantasy, and is a must see for Dragon Quest fans. It's an epic production between Enix, the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony, Tohoku Shinsha, CBS/Sony and even Gainax. Unfortunately, my tape is a bit damaged so there's some noise/glitches at points. This movie was also released on Laser Disc, which I own, but my player broke, otherwise I would have uploaded that cleaner version.
