A Message from the Director and the Music Composer

“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 HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, 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.

About the KINGDOM HEARTS series.

Directed by Tetsuya Nomura, and developed jointly by Disney and Square Enix, the first KINGDOM HEARTS video game

was released on March 28, 2002 on PlayStation 2. Now with over 25 million copies sold over 8 games and multiple

platforms, the series has received worldwide acclaim. While the main protagonist, Sora, travels alongside Goofy and

Donald, players can expect to meet more than 100 Disney characters and worlds (Beauty and the Beast, Hercules,

Aladdin, The Lion King, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, The Nightmare Before Christmas and more)

and numerous heroes and villains from the FINAL FANTASY video game franchise (See how Disney Characters and

FINAL FANTASY Cameo Worlds connect in this trailer: https://youtu.be/55JvbOAVXA4).

With fantastic compositions by game composer Yoko Shimomura (Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve, Street Fighter II,

Xenoblade Chronicles, etc), music is a prominent element of KINGDOM HEARTS. The soundtrack’s main theme

featured hit songs from Japan’s best-selling pop artist, Utada Hikaru. The single Hikari, from KINGDOM HEARTS I,

topped Japanese Oricon music chart for weeks, was 2002’s tenth best-selling single, and was certified Double-
Platinum. The single Passion from KINGDOM HEARTS II was also certified Gold by the RIAJ.

The next major release, KINGDOM HEARTS III, which will conclude the saga on PlayStation 4, is eagerly awaited. While

the millions of fans are waiting, the mobile game prequel KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained X was just released on Android

and iOS, and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is expected on PS4 later in 2016, which will include an

HD remaster of Dream Drop Distance as well as the KINGDOM HEARTS X Back Cover.
