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> | 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.

I've been given the opportunity to oversee the creation of the title, logo, and many other aspects of this amazing production, and as the director of the series, I am confident that what we've created will touch the hearts of our beloved fans everywhere.<br><br>The World Tour is slated for 2017, the same year as the KINGDOM HEARTS 15th anniversary. In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of KINGDOM HEARTS II.8, which is coming out later this year. I hope the excitement and joy they get from the experience will only increase their anticipation for the release of KINGDOM HEARTS III.|Tetsuya Nomura}} | ||

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}} | ||
