Kingdom Hearts Concert Tours Announced

. : tale_wind · Apr 28, 2016

The first ever Kingdom Hearts concert tours have been announced! These events will bring Yoko Shimomura's acclaimed scores to the stage with professional live orchestras and HD cinematic presentations.

Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath- will tour Japan this August with brass orchestras, stopping in Tokyo on August 11, Aichi on August 27, and Osaka on August 28. Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- sets out next year with full orchestras, starting with Tokyo on March 20, 2017. Performances will then follow in Paris, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Los Angeles, and New York, taking the tour all the way through June 2017.

Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura each have messages about the World Tour for fans of the series. Take a look!

The idea of a KINGDOM HEARTS concert has been in the works for several years, but even so, I was astonished to learn that our music would be performed by a full orchestra, in other countries no less. I’ve been given the opportunity to oversee the creation of the title, logo, and many other aspects of this amazing production, and as the director of the series, I am confident that what we’ve created will touch the hearts of our beloved fans everywhere.

The World Tour is slated for 2017, the same year as the KINGDOM HEARTS 15th anniversary. In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of KINGDOM HEARTS II.8, which is coming out later this year. I hope the excitement and joy they get from the experience will only increase their anticipation for the release of KINGDOM HEARTS III.

“Please have a KINGDOM HEARTS orchestral concert.”

I heard this quite often, and it echoed my own feelings. I’ve wanted to have a concert for some time, and I’m happy to announce that it’s finally become a reality. When I began composing for the KINGDOM HEARTS series, I couldn’t even dream this day would come. But it has, thanks to our beloved fans. This concert and the music of KINGDOM HEARTS could not have existed without their undying support. I can’t thank them enough. The concert will encompass my feelings toward the series and those dear to me around the world. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Jeez, all the good stuff passes by Houston, which is weird because it's usually one of the places that always gets these kinds of things
