Key art for the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival.

The Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival (also written as Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Fest.) was a music festival that happened on August 11th, 2022, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Kirby series. Initially only a single performance at 18:00 JST, an extra performance at 12:30 JST was added due to high demand.[1] It was held at the Tokyo Garden Theater and the evening performance was livestreamed for free worldwide, and an archive of the livestream was up until August 31st, 2022, 18:00 JST.[2]

Unlike the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, which exclusively had orchestrated music, this event featured a large big band-style ensemble of 35 musicians, called the "Kirby 30th Anniversary Special Band Deluxe", that performed Kirby music in a variety of genres. There was also a large LED monitor that featured a moving Kirby, and Kirby's voice actress Makiko Ohmoto was present as a special guest. Neichel also made a surprise appearance during Special Live Performance: WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD!, although with her face covered by a hat.

On August 11th, 2023 (the one-year anniversary of the event), a Blu-ray and CD release of the music festival was announced. Titled the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival Live Blu-ray and Live CD, the set is priced at ¥8,800 (roughly $60 USD) and will be released on October 31st, with preorders running until August 31st. As with the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert's release, the CD only includes the songs, while the Blu-ray features the entire performance including the interludes and commentary between songs; unlike that release, however, there is no option to buy them separately.

The Blu-ray also includes the option to switch between the pre-recorded footage from the LED monitor and the live performance footage. Pre-ordering the set directly from the Kirby Portal website includes a replica of the ID card used by staff members during the concert.

They were arranged by Megumi Ohara, Yuuta Ogasawara, Shogo Sakai and Yuki Shimooka.[3] Names of songs present in the tracks, as well as specific arranger credits for some tracks, are taken from the festival's official pamphlet unless indicated otherwise.

Trivia

  • Apart from Tilt-and-Roll Kirby, every single Sub-Game whose music featured in the "Get Pumped Up! Sub-Game Medley" ("わいわい!サブゲームフェス" in Japanese) returns in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe as part of Merry Magoland (わいわいマホロアランド in Japanese—note in particular the shared use of waiwai, an ideophone suggesting a noisy bustling atmosphere).
