Famitsu Interview w/ Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura

Meilin Lee · Jul 12, 2017

With Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- concluding with its final show in Osaka, Japan recently, Famitsu got to interview both the series director, Tetsuya Nomura, and the series composer, Yoko Shimomura, together. Check out a partially translated interview below courtesy of Saken from KHInsider:

I heard you (Shimomura) and Mr. Nomura had a little discussion before concerts today, what was that all about?

Nomura: “Write those KH3 songs” I told her. If there’s going to be future concerts, we’re going to also need new music along with that… something like that (laughs)

That’s definitely music we’d love to hear! So Ms. Shimomura, how’s that production coming along?

Shimomura: Uh….. (laughs). I really have to get to work on those…

Nomura: Hey, 1 or 2 isn’t enough. You need to finish all of them, like around 700? (laughs)

Shimomura: Oi, that’s more than all the KH songs I’ve compiled so far! (laughs)
Week after week, I’ve been travelling all around, from Hong Kong to Los Angeles… But It’s all finally come to a close now so soon I can get to work… I may have gotten a bit stale by now, though.

We’re really looking forward to hearing your songs run in future new trailers (laughs). So, Mr. Nomura, in the daytime concert, you announced something about some new information that was coming next week that created somewhat of a hurdle for yourself?

Nomura: I said something like, “We’re going to have some absolutely incredible information for you guys. Oh, I probably shouldn’t create such a big hurdle for myself… but I’m sure it’ll be something everyone will enjoy”, with a bit of a joking tone mixed in, but it seems that only the bit about it being “absolutely incredible” spread around, which was partly the joke. (wry laugh)

That’s because fans will always raise expectations regarding new information (laughs)

Nomura: Hey, I just said next week’s information will be “ordinary” news (laughs)

Shimomura: But the new world is amazing! I was like “Wooaahh!”. I got really excited.

The new world better be Big Hero 6.

It's gonna be ****ing great exploring the city and jumping around buildings.

At least, I hope the world will take place in the city of BH6.

I kinda want it to be a *totally new* unannouced world. Like I know we haven't seen much of BH6 but I want a new, new world, ya feel?

I think it would make better sense to keep a new new world under wraps.
