The music will soundtrack visuals from the game while “narrated episodes” featuring voice actors Yui Ishikawa (No.2), Reina Tanaka (No.4), Mio Hanana (No.21), and Chihira Mochida (No. 16) will tell a new story related to NieR: Automata prequel Pearl Harbor Descent Operation. “Experience the ever-expanding musical universe of NieR,” reads the official website.
The shows will be conducted by Eric Roth while the game’s composer Keiichi Okabe, director Yoko Taro and producer Yosuke Saito “may each appear as special guests at select concerts.”
