Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

According to both series director {{w|Tetsuya Nomura}} and series music composer {{w|Yoko Shimomura}}, the idea for concerts based on the music of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series had been discussed for a long time. Yoko Shimomura created a rough draft of the concert program, which Tetsuya Nomura checked and accepted. Unlike the ''Concert -First Breath-'' performances, all the performances for ''Orchestra -World Tour-'' have videos from the games that accompany each musical piece—with the exception of "[[Twinkle Twinkle Holidays]]", which did not feature a video.<ref>'''Interview with Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura, 29 November 2016''', part of the ''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-'' Program Guide</ref>

{{Q|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.

In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of KINGDOM HEARTS II.8, which is coming out later this year.

{{Q|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}}
