Famitsu Interview with Tetsuya Nomura (Talks KH3, Union X[cross], & the World Tour Orchestra)

Posted by Meilin Lee : Mar 14, 2017 at 11:31 AM ( 3 , 2,709 )

Famitsu recently interviewed series director, Tetsuya Nomura, mainly to discuss KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour-. The translated interview can be read below:

Did you have any orders regarding the choice of music for the concert?
Nomura: (Ms Yoko) Shimomura was the one who made the setlist for the show this time. I might have tweaked some things, but the setlist stayed basically the same. I had the order of some things changed based on the performances by the voice actors and such, that was about it. The setlists for both the wind concert last summer and this concert were made at the same time, and we treated them both like two halves of one whole, so I thought about how their structure should match. The way both the last concert ended with and this one began with Hikari was one way it was structured to reflect that.

So, on the whole, you were mainly in charge of the videos and the dramatic readings, right?
Nomura: Yes. We only just barely got it ready on time, but we made it (dry laughter). For the acting guidance of the dramatic readings, we asked external sound supervisor Mr (Yoji) Shimizu, just like with the games. This concert counts as one of the works in the series, after all. Overseas, we will play recordings of Ms Toyoguchi and Ms Uchida's voices, with subtitles on the videos.

Our interest was piqued by how the video that played during Kairi's reading was the only one done in live-action.
Nomura: Kairi is speaking pretty specifically about events happening during KH3, so we didn't have any cinematics that really worked. So, we matched it to a live-action video that fit the vibe. There are pieces of imagery that link to the content of what she is saying, for example, how it shows a scene of a sunset at the part where she says, "He stares at my face."

On the first day, we were surprised when you came on between performances and blessed us with your talk. During the trailer that played, the hall went pretty wild when Ventus came on screen.
Nomura: Well, the first day is special (laughs). It was perfect timing with the announcement planned at an event overseas, so I decided to have it debut at the concert that was happening a few hours earlier.

Of the five new Union Leaders, the remaining two will be revealed from April on. I've finished writing the story for the 4th and am about to start on stuff for the 5th, so please look forward to it.

There was also an announcement that information about KH3 would be revealed during the world tour.
Nomura: We announced that KH Unchained χ[chi] will become KH Union X[cross] right after the release of KH HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix, so we have touched a little on KH3. Please wait for more information on this.

Translated Canon Scenes from KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour-

Posted by Meilin Lee : Mar 12, 2017 at 11:28 AM ( 1 , 1,730 )

As reported earlier, more canon scenes have been acted out by the series' voice actors at KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour- (like the Terra and Namine scene). Twitter user @momo_krys was able to translate scenes involving Kairi and Xion, and they can be read below:

Kairi:

I didn't notify you but you might've already heard from Yen Sid.
I've come to train to become a Keyblade wielder.
Until now, I've only been waiting for you guys to come back from your journey.
Maybe with this I can at least help out a little.

The magician Merlin can use magic that surpasses time.
Here, we can forget about the flow of time.
Isn't it great?

Lea's training with me.
He apologized to me over and over again.
It's alright,
I'd say,
But he'd keep on apologizing...

At first I was a bit scared but
As we trained together we started talking to each other.
I found out Lea also has a best friend he wants to save.
I felt like, he's not a person that I can bring myself to hate...

Sometimes..... He'd stare at my face
So I'd ask him, what's wrong?
"I don't know, but I feel like it's something I must recall", He'd say...

Your journey is a journey that will help many people
and the people you'll meet from now on
I have a feeling these people you meet will also need your help

The journey might be hard but
Please stay as the cheerful and bright Sora I know
Because your smile, will save many hearts.....
