Just as we are taking a breather after the long journey of Kingdom Hearts III, this new journey has already begun. It's my belief that the journey of Kingdom Hearts will continue to connect and go on in this way—and into the future.—Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series

17 years since the first Kingdom Hearts—time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye, I am both humbled and overjoyed that the series has grown to become beloved by people across the world. I would like to thank all of our fans for making this possible. 

And now in 2019, we have finally released the much-anticipated new installment. The Kingdom Hearts universe continues to expand and grow, so please join me as I immerse myself in this world that we are all so passionate about.

The second world tour of the Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert has become a reality! I would like to convey my gratitude to all the people who made it possible. And to all the Kingdom Hearts fans around the world, thank you for your continued support. 

The Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert gives you the chance to not only enjoy the glorious music  of Kingdom Hearts but stunning visuals as well. I join you in the anticipation of hearing "that song" or perhaps one of the new pieces in Kingdom Hearts III, I can't wait! 

I believe all of you have encountered unforgettable moments when you've played Kingdom Hearts games. It is my sincere hope that the concert will likewise be an unforgettable experience for all who attend. Enjoy! —Rie Nishi Kingdom Hearts series producer

It isn't one of my compositions, but I really love this song. In the orchestral arrangement, the melody is done by a solo violin, and in this incarnation, that solo violin is the featured sound. I think that it has a different kind of appeal than Don't Think Twice, and it has a distinctly different feel than any other song that Utada-san has done for us. And now with the orchestral version of this song I hope that it can gain a new kind of appeal. —Yoko Shimomura Kingdom Hearts series composer on Face my Fears -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-

My heartfelt congratulations for bringing Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres- to the world. I was happy to be able to contribute by working on the pamphlet for the third straight time. Mr Nomura always says that the concert is a part of the Kingdom Hearts world. So in that spirit, I hope that people will also see and enjoy the pamphlet as an extension of Kingdom Hearts. I personally had a lot of fun with the interviews included in the pamphlet, so I hope that comes across to people who read them. It is my hope that together with the fantastic music, the people's passion for Kingdom Hearts grows ever stronger. —Tomoco Kanemaki author of the Kingdom Hearts novels
