This song is the Rebirth version of One Winged Angel which was composed by Yasunori Nishiki. He was quoted as saying he felt so much pressure having to recompose Uematsu's original piece that he got shingles on parts of his body. I think he absolutely nailed this and did the original masterpiece justice. It made for a great entrance for Kenny too. The way he's presented in Japan almost makes him look like 2 completely different people compared to how he's presented in North America. Superb stuff.
