Kingdom Hearts Memorial Stained Glass Clock Exhibit Opens in Shinjuku Station!

Details

The Kingdom Hearts Memorial Stained Glass Clock exhibit is now open at the Metro Promenade of Shinjuku Station in Japan! Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series have been taking photos and videos of the exhibit commemorating the 15th Anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series and release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and you can view a couple of them below:

    

The official website for the Memorial Stained Glass Clock has also updated with the countdown clock leading to Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue's release. 

And finally, Nomura's message has been translated by Saken!

- It's often said that Sora is an "ordinary boy" however he also has some odd points. 
How is adventuring through worlds you can only fathom in your dreams while withholding within you connections to many different hearts ordinary? 
Well, to simply express this, I'm sure everyone is on their own adventure, living day by day with the thought and connection of at least one other inside them. By this, we can see that Sora is a boy that can be found anywhere. And just like each and everyone of us, he will continue to grow through these connections and experiences, however I believe that his universal presence will remain as is in our hearts.

- Trying to live each day righteously will only bring exhaustion. Temptations that arise outside of the path one should be following are especially sweet and alluring...
I believe they live as a sentiment to that.

- Satisfaction through simple operation. For a long time this has been my concept of creation. Even for one not skilled with games, by a simple touch, one is able to freely traverse a world, delivering brilliant, beautiful movements and actions about it. These battles may apt to bring forth savagery, however I think the key to contain this is the Keyblade.

- The Final Fantasy characters that players are familiar with in Kingdom Hearts are not the same entities as the ones that appear from their respective games. Delivered as a different kind of birth from their originals, their age and motifs are also different. Meeting with these characters who, while being the same individual in terms of character, are complete separate existences is one of the exciting points of this adventure.

Apparently in the video section there's commentary from nomura about certain aspects of kingdom hearts. Not sure if its something new or not, it does sound interesting.

I've been seeing all the videos and photos on twitter, and this exhibit is honestly beautiful and pretty impressive. still crossing my fingers that the west gets cool events like these too!!

Pretty jealous of fans in Japan, but happy to see Days and Xion getting some love.

Oh come on, we all know that was just Nomura making another nod to Star Wars.

The exhibit is very cool. I really like the blown up renders on the wall. The count down clock is hype too.

Wish they had something like that here in NA. Even if they did though, it would probably be at a place I couldn't go to, lol. Idk though, I get the oddest feeling someday I'll be able to go back in time and see this place in Japan...

These are absolutely beautiful, it's hard to pick a favorite!

edit: also, here's a search of the official hashtag ("Kingdom Hearts' 15th Birthday") that shows a lot of pictures from the exhibit:

Thanks for the translations.

I somehow find it highly amusing that Nomura choose this to yet again remind the whole audience and fanbase that the Final Fantasy characters in the KH series are entirely different entities and separate existences from their namesakes in the actual FF universe.
That's now the fifth? sixth? or seventh? time he had to bring that up?

Thanks a lot!
Nomura is indeed confirming and re-establishing a lot of stuff lately.
Wonder if something happened...

Oh well, Sora reconfirmed boy you can find anywhere, I'm happy with that.

I'm sorry to hear that Howler. I hope he's recovering well now.

Speaking of these amazing art pieces, do we have a bigger version of the all-character mural somewhere?

Something I also noticed in its make-up is that a) the BBS trio is in the center of the whole thing with both Riku and Sora directly flanking them and b) Master Xehanort and Yen Sid are by far the biggest characters in the whole ensemble.

I also love how they even thought about placing Jiminy and Pluto in it and spliced some generic Dream Eaters into it as well, yet forgot Chip & Dale, friggin' Minnie, Daisy, friggin' Merlin, Uncle Scrooge, the ducklings, all of the FF cameos, Young Xehanort, Luxu, Skuld and Ephemer. xD
