Messages for -First Breath- (translated by Zephyr)

Until now for Japan and overseas, a concert will be held for KINGDOM HEARTS music. This time we will be able to hold the world’s first official KINGDOM HEARTS concert. The first year will be made of a symphonic band called “First Breath”. Please come see this first memorable commemoration for the world. I think you’ll enjoy the first breath when the concert plays for KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 and KINGDOM HEARTS III. Also, on the go and while you’re waiting, I’m very happy KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ has been popularly received.
Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series

Finally an official concert for KINGDOM HEARTS will be held by a symphonic band! Personally for myself in high school, I played the flute and was conducting for a symphonic band. I thought the concert band there was extraordinary. (laughs) For how I started the concert band, in a junior high school festival, I heard a symphonic band playing African Symphony. (It is a classic!) Because of this one song, it had a significant effect in continuing the symphonic band over five years. I thought about being the person to start a symphonic band just so you could listen to a symphonic arrangement for KINGDOM HEARTS, and being the person that loves symphonic music more and more, I’m very happy. Thinking about the days we practiced everyday, I would like you to be immersed in a new world music in KINGDOM HEARTS. By all means, everyone please come listen. See you at the venue!
Yoko Shimomura, Composer for the KINGDOM HEARTS series


Messages for -World Tour-

"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."
Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series

“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!
Yoko Shimomura, Composer for the KINGDOM HEARTS series

Will absolutely positively be going to the Los Angeles concert. I'm really glad we've got over a year in advance notice. It's hard for me to save money, but this gives a lot of time.

I was waiting to hear what they had planned for the 15th, and this surely doesn't disappoint <3

the question is tho, how is nomura going to make the concerts canon to the overall series

Oh man, that was good. For real though, this may be the first time the KH logo will be used for something official that isn't story relevant. I don't know if Nomura can handle it.

LOS ANGELES. BLESS YOU NOMURA, SHIMOMURA, DISNEY, SQUARE ENIX, AND DISNEY. MAINLY DISNEY SINCE THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS.

Kind of wish it was at the Disney Concert Hall BUT THAT IS OKAY THE DOLBY THEATER IS BIG AND ICONIC <3

New cutscenes featuring the main cast at the concert. The music is a power to defeat the darkness. Everybody who attends the concerts gets a special DLC code to unlock a music-themed item in KH3.

Also Sora & Riku to conduct Dearly Beloved

Technically you only have a few days to think about it since tickets go on pre-sale on the 30th. There is very little guarantee that these tickets will be available for long.

If I remember correctly, to make a SE e-Store account, you need a Japanese address at the very least. If you have your hotel booked already, you can use that as your address.
