The Monster Hunter Orchestra Concert has been held annually in Japan since way back in 2009, and now it's been confirmed that this year's event will once again be an online performance. While it's disappointing for concert-goes in Japan, of course, the pleasing news is that fans will be able to watch it globally.
Performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, the music will combine with visuals inspired by the games; unsurprisingly Monster Hunter Rise will have a specific focus this year. There'll be guest performances as well:
It is decided that guest vocals include Hideki Ishigaki (Shakuhachi) and Momoka Enomoto (Biwa) who also participated in the recording of "Monster Hunter Rise", as well as Izumi Kato who performed a wonderful singing voice in the game. In addition, Sho Asano (Tsugaru Shamisen) and Daisuke Miyazaki (Guitar) will also appear, and the gorgeous guests will color the world of Monster Hunter. Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the "Monster Hunter" series, will also appear as a talk guest, making the orchestra concert more interesting than ever.
The concert will be live on 28th September at 7pm JST, which is 3am Pacific / 6am Eastern / 11am UK / noon CEST, though the archive of the stream will then be available until 11th October for those that want to watch it at a more convenient time.
As it's replacing in-person concerts this won't be free but has online tickets available globally. A ticket can be bought from this official website, and in our case it shows a UK price of £19.95.
Are you tempted to buy a ticket for this show?

I'm interested, Its cool that games do these concerts, Bc I feel like the music makes alot of the game to, Unless your sonic bc if anything the music is always good but not the game play LOL.
Please just be songs sung by the calicos
10£ maybe, but a huge mistake making it 20£.
Lol not for that price 😂
should've been free but with sponsors
Anyone complaining about $28 for a live orchestra has no idea what kind of production costs and preparation go into these things. Especially considering that one "ticket" gets you access for as many people as you can cram into your house and hardly anyone goes to a show alone. I can't wait to see this! The FF7 Remake orchestra concert a few months back was amazing. I bet this one will be too.
Monster Hunter soundtrack gets better with each game. I really like how the inclusion of vocals made hunting in MH Rise even more epic
Love the MH Soundtracks. Awesome.
