Official cover and poster art for the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert.

The Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert was a series of concerts performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and held across Japan in the year 2017 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kirby series. A live recording of the second concert - along with a second set of bonus tracks - was then released as a two-CD + DVD/Blu-ray set in Japan only on December 20th, 2017. The digital versions of the CDs were released internationally on June 26th, 2018.

The concert arrangements were written by Shogo Sakai and Megumi Ohara, and were conducted by Taizo Takemoto, except for the "Kirby Air Ride Medley", which was conducted by Sakai. The second CD's arrangements were written by Sakai, Ohara, Jun Ishikawa, and Hirokazu Ando.

Concerts

Two separate concerts were performed, though of the same suite. The first was performed in Tokyo on April 16th, 2017. The second was performed in Osaka on June 18th the same year. The second concert was the one from which the CD, DVD and Blu-ray versions were derived.

Both concerts featured - in addition to the orchestra - a video display which showed gameplay snippets from the games the music was taken from and commentary in-between performances by the staff.
