A new bard for Final Fantasy IV's Love Theme

After holding an open call, Square Enix found the singer for the new version of the Final Fantasy IV Love Theme. 25-year-old Megumi Ida from Hokkaido was the final choice to perform the vocals on the classic track.

Of course, a CD single will be released featuring her performance will be sold in Japan, starting on December 5th, for 1500 yen. Before you decide to put down an order at CD Japan, you can get a tiny preview: a brief snippet of the new version can be heard in this video interview. Pretty haunting! It's definitely emotional, but not to the point of being spoony.
