Additionally, you can check out the messages from Testuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series and Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts series.

"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

Thanks goes to wildfaery for providing the translations.

*goes insane* I cannot believe they are actually doing this!!! I absolutely love the music from KH games, and I've always wanted to go to an official concert. (I hope they play All for One, the battle theme of Country of the Musketeers, it's my favorite KH track)

 I'm in the south myself, but if anything ever comes that far down it's usually in Atlanta, which is still a ways further than I'd like to go. But! Distant Worlds finally expanded to a lot more states, so hopefully this will too!

 

And niiiice, I hope you get to go!

I will third this! Mexico deserves some love as well! :3

I think Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy came to Mexico not a long time ago, like two years ago, so that means we could get the Kingdom Hearts concert in Mexico? Maybe until 2018 or 2019...

This IS to promote KHIII after all, so maybe we'll get Dearly Beloved's KHIII rendition there? I would LOVE that,

Wait it is? I thought Nomura just said that we could enjoy this and look forward to KH3.

Oh wow, there's going to be a Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour!?  THAT'S FRACKIN BADASS!!!!  Finally, there's going to be a concert dedicated to the music of the Kingdom Hearts series! And the fact that Nomura and Shimomura have wanted to do this for a while now means that it'll be something to remember!

 

Hmm, the world tour ends in June...the same month that E3 is held!  I wonder if Nomura will announce the release date for Kingdom Hearts III at next year's E3?  Hmm...most interesting...

 

But yeah, I'm so happy for all the people that'll get the chance to go and see the concert!  Sadly, I won't be able to go, cuz firstly, I don't have the money!  Secondly, I live in Puerto Rico, so sadly, there won't be any Orchestra World Tour where I live! xD  But oh well, I'm happy for those people who will get to go! ^^

Ah, so the prices have come in, I see!  Hmm, I'm guessing that Category 3 tickets refer to the back seats that are pretty far away from the main stage where Yoko and the orchestra will be, huh?  Well, at least ticket prices are being revealed, so that's a good thing! :D
