Following the acclaimed release of KINGDOM HEARTS III video game and its unforgettable ending, fans can reunite with beloved music and worlds from the KINGDOM HEARTS series with KINGDOM HEARTS –World of Tres-, a brand-new concert that’s currently touring around the world. Produced by a Director Tetsuya Nomura, who created this new video program, the concert music was prepared by those who made the music of KINGDOM HEARTS legendary, Composers Yoko Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito.
Taking the video game concert world one step higher, the concert features, for the first time on stage, orchestral versions of the new theme songs by Hikaru Utada, “Face My Fears” and “Don’t Think Twice,” and renewed arrangements of “Dearly Beloved” and “Simple and Clean.” The first half of the concert is dedicated to the story being relived game by game and ends with a powerful “Diabolic Bash” boss medley that includes many of the legendary music theme of the whole saga in new and even more impressive musical arrangements. The second half of the concert focuses on the epic and intense conclusion of the saga, KINGDOM HEARTS III. The concert is more than two hours of world class entertainment, reliving the story from its beginning to its end.

Tokyo – World Premiere – Live Report
KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World of Tres- made its premiere on April 27 & 28, 2019 at the Tokyo International Forum A with more than 13,000 fans. With a thousand people already queuing since sunrise to be the first to purchase the new concert merchandise, there was excitement and passion everywhere in the air long before the first musical note was performed. The premiere was performed by the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra, with the Senzoku Freshman Singers Choir, directed by Chief Conductor Jean Deroyer, and joined by guest pianist Vincent Mussat. From the start, the 128 musicians on stage gave a stunning musical performance, matching every beat with the perfectly in sync video program to create an immersive interaction between the video and the music. It was a captivating and rich experience of adventurous and passionate memories of Sora, Kairi, and Riku. King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Xehanort, Ansem, Organization XIII and many others appeared on screen, alongside various Disney and Pixar worlds and the FINAL FANTASY characters featured in KINGDOM HEARTS.
