The Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert was a series of concerts performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and 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 + DVD/Blu-ray set in Japan only on December 20th, 2017. The digital versions of the CDs were released internationally on June 26th, 2018.
The concert arrangements were written by Shogo Sakai and Megumi Ohara, and were conducted by Taizo Takemoto, except for the "Kirby Air Ride Medley", which was conducted by Sakai.
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, DVD and Blu-ray versions were 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.
CD Release
On December 20th, 2017 - the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert was released as a 2-CD set for purchase in Japan only. The first disk, Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, consists of the full suite as performed in the concert. The second disk, Kirby Memorial Arrangements, consists of bonus music and orchestrations which were not part of the concert proper.
The digital versions of the CDs were released internationally on June 26th, 2018, available on several music streaming services.
All tracks arranged by Shogo Sakai except for the "King Dedede & Meta Knight Medley" and the "Kirby Ball Medley", arranged by Megumi Ohara.
DVD/Blu-ray Release
The Blu-ray and DVD release includes a video recording of the concert with chapter selection for each song and a multi-angle feature, which allows for switching between the pre-recorded game footage and the live concert footage. Additionally, the commentary between songs is included, but not mentioned on the packaging or on the menu screen. The concert footage begins automatically when the disc is inserted, and the menu screen is only available once the concert ends or if the MENU button is pressed.
Trivia
- Masahiro Sakurai and Makiko Ohmoto were both featured guests at the concerts. Makiko herself participated in bonus commentary between tracks, performed a rendition of The Noble Haltmann, and demonstrated Kirby's voice live.
- Free music sheets of "Kirby's Adventure Medley" and "King Dedede & Meta Knight Medley" are available on the official website (distribution link).
