Thank you for attending KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra - World of Tres-.

2019 marks a special year with the release of KINGDOM HEARTS III, and in conjunction with this momentous occasion, the KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour- has been greatly renewed from the concerts in 2017 and 2018. Even more beautiful visuals together with the exhilarating music of a full orchestra are in store for you today.

Like the previous two years, we are starting off the tour in Japan, and then traveling across the United States, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Central America, and South America, bringing the wonderful music and visuals of KINGDOM HEARTS to fans all over the world. It is my hope that you will recapture the joy and thrill of KINGDOM HEARTS III during this spectacular concert.

—Yoko Shimomura, Composer of the KINGDOM HEARTS series

17 years since the first KINGDOM HEARTS—time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. I am both humbled and overjoyed that the series has grown to become beloved by people across the world. I would like to thank all of our fans for making this possible.

And now in 2019, we have finally released the much-anticipated new installment. The KINGDOM HEARTS universe continues to expand and grow, so please join me as I immerse myself in this world that we are all so passionate about.

"Dreams are all that we have."

—Shinji Hashimoto, Brand Manager of the KINGDOM HEARTS series

The second world tour of the Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert has become a reality! I would like to convey my gratitude to all the people who made it possible. And to all Kingdom Hearts fans around the world, thank you for all your continued support.

The Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert gives you the chance to not only enjoy the glorious music of Kingdom Hearts but stunning visuals as well. I join you in the anticipation of hearing "that song" or perhaps one of the new pieces in Kingdom Hearts III. I can't wait!

I believe all of your have encountered unforgettable moments when you've played Kingdom Hearts games. It is my sincere hope that the concert will likewise be an unforgettable experience for all who attend. Enjoy!

—Rie Nishi, Kingdom Hearts Producer

Just as we are taking a breather after the long journey of KINGDOM HEARTS III, this new journey has already begun. It's my belief that the journey of KINGDOM HEARTS will continue to connect and go on in this way-and into the future.

—Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series

My heartfelt congratuulations for bringing KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World of Tres- to the world. I was happy to be able to contribute by working on the pamphlet for the third straight time. Mr. Nomura always says that the concert is a part of the KINGDOM HEARTS world. So, in that spirit, I hope that people will also see and enjoy the pamphlet as an extension of KINGDOM HEARTS. I personally had a lot of fun with the interviews included in the pamphlet, so I hope that comes across to the people who read them. I personally had a lot of fun with the interviews included in the pamphlet so I hope that comes across to the people who read it. I truly hope that together with the fantastic music, the people’s passion for KINGDOM HEARTS grows even stronger.

—Tomoco Kanemaki, Writer/Novelist for the KINGDOM HEARTS novels

Composer's Voice
Face My Fears -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-

Yoko Shimomura: It isn't one of my compositions, but I really love this song. In the orchestral arrangement, the melody is done by a solo violin, and in this incarnation, that solo violin is the featured sound. I think that it has a different kind of appeal than Don't Think Twice, and it has a distinctly different feel than any other song that Utada-san has done for us. And now with this orchestral version of the song, I hope that it can gain a new kind of appeal.

We had secret epiosde at BBSFM, so maybe something like this. (when you fight as aqua vs terranort)
cutscenes+boss, might be more tho since we actually have to pay for this.

A new scenario included in the story. Whether it means a new world or not, it's anyone's guess, but it's usually story addition that wasn't in the game previously. So cutscenes would be almost guaranteed.

So I'm guessing the ReMIND scenario will be a cutscene or set of cutscenes regarding and further explaining Xion's return. Don't know if it'd be a flashback cutscene (like it's implied at one point Lea spent sometime off screen updating Roxas and Xion on current events, so maybe she explained to them how she came back), or something that shows up as your playing the game. So like maybe it would show up as a secret side mission, or extensions to previous Vexen cutscenes.

Regarding the episodes, if they're anything like the one's from Birth By Sleep, then I'd expect an extension to Sora's POV after the events of the game. One right after the other. I suppose it's also possible, given the secret ending, that we could play as Riku and make our way to "Shibuya" in order to track down Sora (explaining why he woke up there). Filling in the gaps like the Secret Episode of BBS did for Aqua's story and connected it Blank Points. All in all though, I'd say it's more likely that we'd stick with Sora throughout both of these dlc episodes. Especially if that new Keyblade & transformation is linked to them.

Also, regarding that additional Keyblade and transformation, if not for the wording being singular, I would've thought they'd be adding Oblivion and Oathkeeper (which could still happen I guess). Specifically because of the new Proof Items added to the game, which I could still see being a prerequisite to unlock one of the episodes if they wanted to add a bit more significance to them.

I would take it separately released, I really don't care. I just want a studio recording high-definition release of the orchestra version of Face My Fears.

Maybe they can't release it because the song belongs to Skrillex as well? It might be a rights issue.

I don't think it's Skrillex himself. It might be the studios or whatever. I've heard that music rights can be complicated, and with Face My Fears apparently belonging to Utada Hikaru/Skrillex/Disney and whatever studios manage their music and have their rights, it could be complicated in releasing an official cover on a CD :'(

It's actually wonderful. Of course I want the tracks not included, too. But that doesn't stop the CD from being really great anyway. ;)

I doubt that they're going to include audio from the cutscenes. You can just close your eyes and listen to the music or not look at the screen? When I went to the last one, the screen was above the orchestra, so you can just look at the orchestra playing instead of the screen. From what I can tell, the second half seems to be KH3, so you can just start avoiding for half the show.

Oh I don’t doubt it is gorgeous. I felt like the tracks they didn’t include were more exciting than the ones they did choose. I’m still buying it, but no FMF is a big loss imo.

They will show cutscenes, but I recommend just not looking at the screen if you want to hear the music. Keep the setlist in mind to know when you should look at the screen vs when you shouldn’t.

IT WAS AMAZING! I CRIED FOR XION'S THEME, FACE MY FEARS, ROXAS/XION THEME MASHUP, XEHANORT MEDLEY, SIMPLE & CLEAN, AND DON'T THINK TWICE.

Face My Fears was really good, but I feel like the official version should be a little bit more upbeat. This version was a little too slow for what I was expecting, however it was still amazing to hear.

Having Yoko come out and play the "last song" was so special and definitely a treat, I wish she got to play a piece more piano focused.

When she said that was the "last song" and it wasn't Don't Think Twice I was like THIS CAN'T BE. I stood up there giving a loud standing ovation along with the rest of the crowd and I was like PLEASE COME BACK AND DO DON'T THINK TWICE. The video they played with it basically solidified my belief that Sora/Kairi are definitely romantically linked.

Lastly to report from my show -- the translator guy for Yoko kept calling it "Kingdom of Hearts" and the crowd was not taking it lightly.
