Legendary composer Kaoru Wada, who has worked on the series as the arranger for “Hikari - Orchestra” and “Passion - Orchestra“ and worked on arranging the music for the previous Kingdom Hearts Orchestra and First Breath concerts, has teased two new songs that have been arranged for the upcoming set of performances.
In a Facebook post, Kaoru Wada wrote:
[ Second Round KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour- ]
Starting on the 9th this week at Los Angeles, the second round of KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour- begins!
19 of the concerts will take place in 8 countries such as USA, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Mexico. Unfortunately there’s no concert in Japan. (ToT)
Since Los Angeles will be the premiere of the tour, I will be present during the rehearsal and concert with composer Yoko Shimomura as well as others. I’ve steadily prepared two newly arranged songs for this tour. (^ o ^) …
I can’t spend much time in LA but I’d like to experience plenty of the Disney atmosphere.
♫ KINGDOM HEARTS fans around the world, please wait a bit more~ (^ o ^) /
Kicking off on June 9th in Los Angeles before heading to Sydney, Australia on July 7th, the Orchestra currently features seventeen tracks.
- HIKARI -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-
- Dearly Beloved -KINGDOM HEARTS II Ver.-
- Destati
- Organization XIII
- Twinkle Twinkle Holidays
- Treasured Memories
- The World of KINGDOM HEARTS
- Fate of the Unknown
- Threats of the Land: KINGDOM HEARTS Battle Medley
- Heroes and Heroines: Characters' Medley
- Lazy Afternoons~At Dusk, I Will Think of You...
- Vector to the Heavens
- Wave of Darkness
- Daybreak Town: The Heart of X
- The Other Promise
- Let Darkness Assemble: Final Boss Battle Medley
- Passions -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-
It is unknown if the two new arrangements, which will bring the Orchestra set list to nineteen tracks, will feature music from Kingdom Hearts III, however with the release date dropping sometime in early June it would make sense to tease fans a little further with some new music.
Alongside Los Angeles and Sydney, the Orchestra concert will head to Chicago (USA), Pittsburgh (USA), Atlanta (USA), Dallas (USA), Philadelphia (USA), Phoenix (USA), Las Vegas (USA), Munich (Germany), Detroit (USA) Boston (USA), Toronto (Canada), Honolulu (USA), Sao Paolo (Brazil), Milan (Italy), Seoul (South Korea), and Mexico City (Mexico).
Thanks to Zephyr for the translations!

Oh, that's neat! This concert will have surprises even for us who went at the first tour.
One has to don’t think twice the other maybe dearly beloved
Clearly “Chikai - KINGDOM Orchestda Instrumental version†and a prominent battle theme.
Hit us with that good music, Wada-san.
My song is playing!!! And I won't be there to hear it....(TToTT)
It'd be awesome if they have the new Dearly Beloved theme, and I can see them playing something from the new worlds. Maybe Toy Story?
I doubt music from Toy Story will play. They will go for something more bombastic to hype the audience up.
I'm going bananas everyone
Chikai Orchestra Version.
Dearly Beloved - Kingdom Hearts III Version.
Give it to me dammit I'm way too motivated.

Yeah this is kind of my expectation.
Agreed with oath and dearly beloved and I think the new dearly beloved replaces the one in the song list and that when show kh3 kairi and oath will probably the last song
Is it weird that I kind of want to see Utada come out on stage and perform Chikai/Don’t Think Twice live? I know it won’t happen but I’d weep.
Yesssss saving the best for last! Passions! Also excited to hear the newly arranged songs.

There's a 2019 Kingdom Hearts Concert made to celebrate the release of Kingdom Hearts III (which makes me believe that concert will be focused exclusively on Kingdom Hearts III soundtracks). Therefore, as you mentioned Oracle, Don't Think Twice seems to be the most appropriate track to play. It's a new rendition of a known track (technically speaking).
I'm ready to cry already but I still have to wait until September.. T^T
But yeah, Chikai and Dearly beloved are the best bets. Can't wait to find out when exactly they're being played!
Ooh, I wonder what they will be.
Also, someone ask Wada if he would ever score a Godzilla film -3-
Looks like one of my bets is definitely in play. Sweet.

I've been fantasizing about this since the concerts were announced, but realistically, while it would be incredible, it would so overshadow the rest of the event (at least for me) that I kind of don't want it. Wada, Shimomura and all the musicians who worked so hard on these concerts deserve all the love and recognition for them imo. Instead I'll keep dreaming about a proper U.S./world tour so that we can hear all of Hikki's beautiful songs in the right environment where she can really own the stage.
It would be cool if the new version of Dearly Beloved plays, though there's a part of me that wants to wait until getting the game to hear it, it'll just feel so satisfying when that menu screen shows up and we get that new version.
As much as I would love to hear music from Toy Box and Corona, I am in the camp that thinks its going to be Dearly Beloved and the orchestra version of Chikai. The soundtrack CD for the initial run of the concert has the KH2 version of Dearly Beloved, so it only makes sense for the KH3 version to replace that this time around.

I've been wanting this to happen since the concert became a thing last year! It's never going to happen, but I would sob like a baby if it did.
This is seriously exciting news for me, can't wait!
I'm crushed. I have not been able to pick up tickets for this in my area. The concert isn't until mid August, and I started looking for tickets mid-May. I should have bought them once they went on sale in March. Ugh. Kaoru Wada's arrangements are bliss. I'm anxious to hear what he's crafted.
I don't think expecting DB KHIII ver. is too far-fetched, even with the KH II ver. present, but if they do bookend the show with that song, maybe it's for the best I don't attend. I would be a weeping mess.
It's awesome to hear that there will be two newly arranged songs in the upcoming orchestra concerts. I'm interested to know what they will be.
I'm going to be weeping alone next month when I go to the concert in my city lol, I can feel it. I will probably spoil myself about what the songs are from those who go to the LA one next week, but I may not listen to them? Its been a while since I have listened to the orchestra soundtrack in general cuz I want it to hit me harder in person lol.
i really think that the new songs will be oath and dearly beloved for kh3 i think oath mosty like will play at the begining or a the end with e3 teaser while dealry beloved kh3 will replaced kh2 dearly beloved and they will reveal kairi new look after all kairi message was played before dearly beloved

I agree with Dearly Beloved, but I don't know if they'd orchestrate Oath already when it hasn't even been released in Japanese on her album yet, but we will probably hear the whole thing at E3 if they do the opening cinematic trailer like some people suspect.

The question is why wouldn’t they orchestrate it? The song has been complete for a long time now. It might not be released yet, but the song is already featured in promotional materials for the game and will likely be used again for E3. It would have also been arranged already for the game. Having it in the concert isn’t even spoiling the song since it will obviously sound different overall to Utada’s version.
I don't wanna hear either until the game is out.

Same. Though I'm sure it'll be hard to avoid unless we don't watch any trailers between now and release.
Lol I mean nothings stopping them from orchestrating it, but I just think it'd be a little weird to hear it before it was actually released.
At what time is the orchestra?

Headed down to LA now, the buzz is definitely setting in. Hope everyone has fun tonight!
Soo, any Info there what the two new songs are about by now?

I believe they were Dearly Beloved from Chi Back Cover, as well as Traverse Town. I think there was also a Toy Story medley as an encore performance.
