[NEW, HI RES] CLASSICS & HARMONY -T-SQUARE meet New Japan Philharmonic (Live) [JUN3,2026]

 



T-SQUARE and the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra held their first joint performance on August 13, 1993, at the Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo. Thirty-three years have passed since then, and the original members from that year no longer remain in either T-SQUARE or the orchestra. With the help of Keiichi Oku, who was in charge of conducting and arrangement at the time, the scores were rediscovered and newly refined to fit the current T-SQUARE lineup. To commemorate this joint performance, the complete version of the concert is being released as this album. This album features a diverse range of performances, including a live orchestral performance of "MOON OVER THE CASTLE," the theme song of GT7 famous for its pipe organ introduction, as well as new approaches and performance scenes never before seen in T-SQUARE's works. As T-SQUARE's music is characterized by strong melodies, Keiichi Oku's rich and colorful arrangements further enhance its value, elevating it into a new artistic musical world. The collaboration between T-SQUARE and the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra is truly outstanding. Conducted by Taizo Takemoto, arranged by Keiichi Oku, and performed on organ by Yuka Ishikawa. Recorded on March 5, 2026, at Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall. Released by T-SQUARE Music Entertainment Inc. Label: Orange Lady.
