Over the weekend, the Kingdom Hearts Second Breath concert was held, letting fans experience the series’ music, listen to a new tune from Kingdom Hearts 4, and get very anxious about something series director Tetsuya Nomura said.
Distributed alongside the concert, however, was a pamphlet featuring new artwork from Shiro Amano, who you may know from the series’ manga adaptations. The most prominent debut, via @PrincessXemnas, comes from the original Organization XIII jamming out on a variety of instruments. Sadly, no one appears to be playing the triangle.
this being passed around the dms like it was a black market item was so funny (twitter compression will destroy this but here's a more upscaled version!) pic.twitter.com/rBj3m5SGOK

A new piece of artwork from Nomura was also included featuring Sora conducting, which Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai snapped a photo of.

Kingdom Hearts in its entirety is available now on the Nintendo Switch in Cloud form (except for Melody of Memory, which is natively available.)

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
