Even more beautiful visuals together with the exhilarating music of a full orchestra are in store for you today.

My heartfelt congratuulations for bringing KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World of Tres- to the world. I was happy to be able to contribute by working on the pamphlet for the third straight time. Mr. Nomura always says that the concert is a part of the KINGDOM HEARTS world. So, in that spirit, I hope that people will also see and enjoy the pamphlet as an extension of KINGDOM HEARTS. I personally had a lot of fun with the interviews included in the pamphlet, so I hope that comes across to the people who read them.

Composer's Voice
Face My Fears -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-Yoko Shimomura: It isn't one of my compositions, but I really love this song. In the orchestral arrangement, the melody is done by a solo violin, and in this incarnation, that solo violin is the featured sound. I think that it has a different kind of appeal than Don't Think Twice, and it has a distinctly different feel than any other song that Utada-san has done for us. And now with this orchestral version of the song, I hope that it can gain a new kind of appeal.
