Kingdom Hearts Series

There's been quite a bit of news lately regarding the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra tour and it looks like it's going to keep coming! The first of show on the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra - World Tour - happened today and Tokyo, Japan and we have a first look some images from the show itself and of the official guide.

Thanks to twitter users, @bKvEBVAvUq and @jsjunshen, we have various pictures of the official guide that will (likely) be used for the entire tour.


Most importantly, the scene during the Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-, has also been listed and can be seen down below. This is the scene we first reported on way back in August, so it's awesome that it's finally been officially translated.
Yoko Shimomura also released some of her own pictures from the event via Twitter:


Not only that, but we also have a copy of the songs that were played during the concert, thanks to Twitter user @ Luce 10 wa
Whew! That's a ton of information from the first concert! What do you guys think about this? The next concert will take place tomorrow in Japan. Anyone planning on going to any of the other concerts?

Update:

We also have a bit more information from the concert thanks to tiduspoo on Tumblr.
What do you guys think about these new little tidbits? Think there's a change for more voice actors (Japanese or otherwise) coming to concerts to say a few lines? Let us know down below!

In celebration of the recent release of 'Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix' in Japan, Square-Enix has launched a website celebrating the series' music. In the website, you could watch Sora running on sheet music while listening to one of eight tracks, which include:

• Sora
• Riku
• Kairi
• Roxas
• Aqua
• The 13th Struggle
• Blast Away! Gummi Ship I
• Tension Rising

Depending on the chosen track, Sora's running, as well as background images and dialogue will change. In addition to the website, there will be a campaign that'll go on until March 31st, with the winner winning a DEARLY BELOVED music box:

The campaign for now appears to be only for Japanese fans, as it involves tweeting your favorite KH memory involving the story or music to the official Kingdom Hearts Japanese twitter account. However, for those of you still wanting to give it a try, make sure you tweet with the following hashtag: #音で視るキングダムハーツ
