The Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert is getting a CD / DVD / Blu-Ray release: check out this post for more details!

***

A few weeks ago, it was announced that several orchestral concerts celebrating the 25th Anniversary would be held later this year (click here for more details). And last week, more details for those concerts were announced, with the list of guests and MC.

It turns out that Masahiro Sakurai himself will attend the concert in Tokyo (on April 16th), as a special guest. The second special guest is none other than Makiko Ohmoto, the voice actress voicing Kirby, who will attend all three concerts. The very creator of the Kirby series, and the woman voicing the character itself… one could not have dreamed of better guests for concerts celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the series!

As for the MC, there will be two of them:

Mirin Furukawa, a singer;

Nozomi Yuzuriha, who used to be a television announcer and is now working freelance.

Here’s when the two concerts will take place:

April 16th: Tokyo (Bunkamura Orchard Hall)

Conductor: Taizo Takemoto

Orchestra: Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra

Guests: Masahiro Sakurai, Makiko Ohmoto

Noon concert: 1.30PM (doors open at 12.45PM)

Evening concert: 6PM (doors open at 5.15PM)

June 18th: Osaka (Orix Theatre)

Conductor: Taizo Takemoto

Orchestra: Osaka Symphonic Orchestra

Guest: Makiko Ohmoto

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that either concerts will be livestreamed (like the one celebrating the release of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D was, back in 2015). Hopefully, the production company and HAL Laboratory will release a CD and a DVD/Blu-Ray of the one of the concerts!
