Director Jade Aguirre's connection to the album is among the most personal of any OC ReMix project, involving friends, family, and her husband, OC ReMix mainstay Jordan "bLiNd" Aguirre:
'Many years ago, I had a great circle of friends. As we got older, our lives started to change and many friendships ended in brokenness. Later, I discovered Wild Arms because of the music and found myself and these old friends in [the game]... like replaying my past over with a soundtrack. The Western theme reminded me of my father, because of his admiration for Westerns. He passed away after I discovered the game, so it brought me some closure," said Jade. "The project is about the music, the fans and everyone's dedicated hard work. Though the reason why I chose Wild Arms is because I wanted to dedicate this to my husband, Jordan. It is the very meaning of my love.'

ARMed and DANGerous was a huge effort from Jade and the entire team of ReMixers, and we know you're gonna love it. Even if you never played Wild Arms, this is an excellent introduction to the music!
Happy holidays! And be sure to give us a quick retweet so that Michiko Naruke herself knows you're looking forward to checking out this tribute to her amazing music! THANKS!
