Gillan in “Blue Dragon” videogame
Ian Gillan has contributed some lyrics and vocals to a Japanese videogame Blue Dragon developed by Mistwalker and distributed by Microsoft. The game was released in 2006 in Japan and will see an international release at the end of August 2007. The track in question is called Eternity and is co-written by Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi and Ian Gillan. In Japan it appears on the 2CD soundtrack album accompanying the game and also was released as a single.
Here’s how it appears in the game:
Thanks to Al Erikson and Akiko Hada for the info.

Which song is it?
August 16th, 2007 at 19:12It would be interesting to know how Gillan got to work with the creator of the Final Fantasy series and the most legendary video game music composer. Nice track anyway.
August 17th, 2007 at 12:15“Eternity” sound great – remembers me on “Magic” days… with magi screams….
August 18th, 2007 at 07:34But caution:
also a very electronic remix exist, which is VERRY different…
Eternity ~Hiroki Esashika Remix~
But for die-hard-fans interesting anyway. But I prefer the “normal” version!
August 18th, 2007 at 07:37We asked how Gillan got to work with Uematsu and received this reply through Microsoft Germany:
August 18th, 2007 at 14:21“Uematsu is a great fan of Ian Gillan so Uematsu’s staff asked Gillan to contribute a song for the game without Uematsu’s knowledge. Gillan willingly accepted and that’s how ‘Eternity’ got in the game.”
I am Final Fantasy freak and love DP music.
This song is our dream.
February 18th, 2009 at 08:41I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE GAME
November 17th, 2020 at 18:17Great Song! I just played the game and heard the song while fighting against the first boss. It caught me with the first riff!!!! The voice of the singer sounds like someone I heard earlier. And then I read it’s Ian Gillian! That was a great moment!
