 |
|
| OK I know that the song "V" is made up of a bunch of parts from Vivaldi's Winter, and I figured there was some connection between "V" and "Vivaldi." Since "A" has some classical roots in it I was wondering if this song was derived from a composer's name... couldn't think of any compsers who started with A though. |

Vivaldi's first name was Antonio, iirc. But A isn't any kind of classical remix, it's an original composition.

I'm sure if it was sold for profit, Konami would clamp down on it (I'm sure it's a matter of time before they clamp down on ITG).[/quote]

It's Arturo. Close enough, though.

Agreed. 
Speaking of A, I think I remember reading somewhere that it's pronounced "Ace". Can anyone confirm this?

| Ok...one guy said Arturo, but I think he meant to say "Amuro", as in DJ Amuro, the actual artist who recorded A. So yeah, it still has nothing to doe with Vivaldi. |

Wait, so it's pronounced Ace? I thought it was just the letter A  Learn something new everyday.

Interestingly enough, "AA" is pronounced "double ace." And "!" is "bang," unless you're one of 2 people I know who call it "factorial."

Japanese players refer to it as Ace, but there's no official IT IS PRONOUNCED THIS WAY from Konami.
