The Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert was a series of concerts held across Japan in the year 2017 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kirby series. A live recording of the second concert - along with a second set of bonus tracks - was then released as a two-CD set in Japan only on December 20th, 2017. The digital versions of the CDs were released internationally on June 26th, 2018.
Composition of the concert (and the tracks on the second disk) was done by Shogo Sakai, Megumi Ohara, Jun Ishikawa, and Hirokazu Ando.
Concerts
Two separate concerts were performed, though of the same suite. The first was performed in Tokyo on April 16th, 2017. The second was performed in Osaka on June 18th the same year. The second concert was the one from which the CD version was derived.
Both concerts featured - in addition to the orchestra - a video display which showed gameplay snippets from the games the music was taken from and commentary in-between performances by the staff.
