The Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour will be uniting the worlds and characters of Final Fantasy and Disney. Kingdom Hearts follows the adventures of Sora, Goofy and Donald as they rescue their friends and the whole world. With two major games, Kingdom Hearts I and II, released on PlayStation 2 (and re-released in HD on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4), and six spin off games over multiple platforms, the saga has touched millions of fans around the globe. Kingdom Hearts Orchestra - World Tour is the first-ever official concert world tour of the saga, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the multi-million selling video game series and the upcoming release of its latest episode. Music composer Yoko Shimomura (Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve, Street Fighter II and Xenoblade Chronicles) lends her fantastic composition, which has long played a prominent role in Kingdom Hearts. The soundtrack features hit songs from Japan’s best-selling pop artist, Utada Hikaru. The single Hikari, from Kingdom Hearts I, topped the 1st rank of the Oricon, the Japanese records sales chart for weeks, was 2002’s tenth best-selling single and certified Double-Platinum. The single “Passion" from Kingdom Hearts II was also certified Gold Disc by the RIAJ.
