News ► Kingdom Hearts Stained Glass Clock Exhibition Opens at Shinjuku Station on Jan 9th

[Chaser]

Kingdom Hearts will be on full display at the Metro Promenade of Shinjuku Station in Japan this year. To celebrate it's 15th anniversary, a special exhibition featuring iconic Kingdom Hearts characters on stain glass clocks will open on Janaury 9th 2017. Translations are below thanks to Goldpanner!

Square Enix will be displaying a memorial stained glass clock commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series in the Shinjuku Station's Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Metro Promenade from the 9th til the 15th of January 2017.

※This is an artist's impression.
※Please refrain from asking the railway and station staff about it.

With twelve stained glass pieces arranged around Sora's massive stained glass station, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Memorial Stained Glass Clock is designed to mimic a clock face. We will go into more detail later, but each piece of stained glass used in the display is a functional clock, and will be gifted to thirteen people in a campaign: an unmissable opportunity for fans of the series.

Beside the huge clock will be a giant 80 inch display playing clips from the series condensed into a one hour video, and a countdown until the release day for PS4 title KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

There are additional plans to display a huge character mural of all the appearing characters gathered in one place, and a memorial exhibit of assembled clips and visuals looking back on the 15-year series.

Regarding the stained glass clock gift project, you can participate if you have a Twitter account. Upon following the official Kingdom Hearts account @_KINGDOMHEARTS, you should upload a photo of your favourite stained glass piece with the #キングダムハーツ15周年 hashtag. 

The photo can be one you've taken of the actual display, but it seems you can also select a stained glass design prepared for a website set up especially for it.

This campaign will run from the 9th til the 15th of January. For more details on terms and conditions, please check the series 15th anniversary memorial website.

It's really cool that we have some official Station of the Hearts for some of the characters. Well it's technically not cannon I suppose but it at least gives us something.

What black-haired girl? :wink:

 

[BlackOsprey]

I only counted 12. That 13th one is just an illusion.

 

[DarkosOverlord]

This. Is. Great.
I. Love. Stained. Glass. Works. So. Much.

This is amazing. This has me immensely excited for what's to come this year in celebrating Kingdom Hearts' anniversary, because with something so different and unexpected like this happening, who knows what else Nomura and co have up their sleeves? I have a feeling that once 2.8 finally releases, the hypetrain will leave the station full speed ahead.

Can we take care to not crash it into a ditch like we did with D23 Japan?

 

[MATGSY]

All the poor Disney characters shoved into the corner like that.

 

[DefiantHeart]

So are these like the official stations of awakening for these characters? Geez, Xion doesn't have Roxas on her circle, but instead Sora? Harsh....XD

I wouldn't consider these as official canon stations. We've seen several in-game and know what they're supposed to look like. Barring Sora's and the Foreteller station, they're just different pieces of official artwork thrown together.

 

[Absent]

I really hope they change Xion's. It doesn't make sense that Saïx and Xemnas are there instead of Roxas. Other than the rest look stunning.

 

[qbaysan]

Is this hints on what's to come? If we count the people who can wield keyblades in the stain glass collection, they're exactly 7: Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Aqua and Mickey. 7 Guardians of Light perhaps? Or is it all just a random selection?

Also, there's 2 artwork/character representatives per game that's already released except for re:Coded and X:
KHI: Two Sora artworks
CoM: Sora and Riku
KHII: Sora and Kairi
Days: Roxas and Xion
BBS: Aqua and Mickey
DDD: Sora and Riku with Mickey in both of them.

Okay, in other words, it's interesting and I just wanna get at least one of them.
