NieR Orchestra Concert 12024 [the end of data] (London, 15/2/2024)
Tumblr media
NieR concert was incredible just as expected. Honestly, from the moment I got there - the cosplayers, the general atmosphere, it was just a good place to be surrounded by NieR nerds lmao. So many people happy to chat with the stranger next to them, kind of a con vibe.
Tumblr media
But of course we were there for the music! And it was fuckin amazing. The emi evans/j'nique nicole duets😭These were special orchestral arrangements specifically for this concert, and the way the sound of the orchestra fills the space, how you can see a phrase physically ripple across the orchestra... I don't get to go to a lot of concerts but I really should try to go more often, because it's something else to hear orchestral music.
below: further comments on the concert, lots of cosplay photos.
The multimedia elements also worked really well - every piece was accompanied with backing videos using either demosceney abstract visuals or images from the games, along with text that told a short story over the course of the concert, with some segments voice acted by the English voices of 2B and 9S (Kira Buckland and Kyle McCarley, who have previously made their own performances of the original Japan-only concert readings). I won't spoil the story in this post since there are still concerts to come, but it was... not that substantial I'll admit, but sweet, and a nice framing device to create a flow through the songs and various moments from the games.
Hearing J'nique Nicole's voice live though, that was incredible. Emi Evans was there just as last time, and just as amazing as always - but this time we had both of them on stage together, and it was absolutely sublime. We all went wild. They performed duets in several songs, with the standouts naturally being A Beautiful Song, Ashes of Dreams, and of course Weight of the World. I think we all thought that was the end because we gave it a standing ovation but then Emi came back out to perform Kainé. After that we got into the groove of standing up and stood up again like three more times lol.
Tumblr media
Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito showed up at the end and made a bunch of rapidfire jokes in Japanese that the translator couldn't keep up with, bless her. But we got to give them like the fourth standing ovation of the night, and made a lot of noise when Yoko Taro suggested it would persuade the president of Squeenix to fund a sequel. I'm sure they appreciated it lmao. I think it must be so weird for Yoko Taro to go from someone with a career of niche, unsuccessful games to being internationally renowned to the point that a massive auditorium full of people in multiple countries will go absolutely nuts just to hear him speak a language we mostly don't speak.
Good mix of people who were at a NieR concert for the first time and people who'd been to the last one. There was a guy near me who had apparently been to the Berlin concert just a few days before, and snagged a ticket for this one literally yesterday just to get it again with better acoustics. I respect it lol. Everyone I spoke to was remarkably friendly - last time I went to one of these things I felt really nervous about approaching anyone but it seems I've gotten better about that kind of thing in the last few years. Anyway, people had come from all over - I chatted with a pair of Americans from Boston all the way down the merch line.
Here are some pictures, mostly of cosplayers. I am still getting used to shooting with the DSLR my friend gave me, so not all of these came out perfectly steady and some of them the exposure wasn't right,, but there are some nice ones in here...

bokeeeeehhhhhhhhh... I spoke a bit to the owner of this 9S doll. Her mum was there too, and it turns out she's a haberdasher who makes cosplays for her daughters and has now done over 70. That's a legendary mum right there.
Tumblr media
The 9S cosplayer here gave me his instagram. he's a pro photographer so I feel a little embarassed at the quality of the photos I took of him ^^'

I got some merch too, since I understand it's the main way events like this support themselves.
Tumblr media
That Kainé thing isn't a print, it's a vinyl record with a few arrangements of Kainé. Though I was totally prepared to buy it as a print because it's a lovely drawing. I don't actually own a record player, but one day I'll surely listen to it ^^'
I was too fatigued to make a cosplay this time, but I'm sure there will be another concert and next time, for sure, I will go as Devola or Popola. Unless Yoko Taro comes up with another redhead character in the meantime lmao.

Went to the Nier Orchestra Concert [the end of data] Very beautiful concert and probably the best Ochestra I've been to so far! Yoko Taro made an appearance as well as Keichi Okabe.

2B is the ‘im alive! but im dead’ meme
and 9S is the ‘this bad boy can fit so much BLANK inside him’ and the blank is misery.

oh yeah I forgot to mention that I went to the NieR Orchestra last week and it was fucken’ stellar.
Yoko Taro really watched Nomura put a bit of lore in the middle of the KH orchestra and said “Hey wait…. that’s not a bad idea.” And then made it the EPILOGUE TO NIER AUTOMATA WITH A WHOLE NARRATIVE AND NEW VOICED LINES. Madmen, the both of them.
spoilers under the cut just in case anyone cares
I still can’t believe they actually canonized the church mod what the fuck. When your mod is so badass that even the creator is like hah nice set-piece bro. You really got the crushing weight of futility down pat. I was waiting for Reincarnation to be linked somehow but thankfully not [yet].
It’s not like Automata NEEDED an epilogue but it was still fun. Except for the part where 2B was dying again. With 9S literally “it should’ve been me!!”-ing it the whole time. Retreading old ground. And I question the choice of 9S being so… normal about everything when he still has memories of what happened at the end of Automata. Let my boy be a little more broken too, yeah?? He’s best when he’s a bit unhinged! But…. I adore them both nonetheless. Even with the questionable continuity. (They allude to the Shadowlord scrawling words on the ruins of a buried alien ship but uhh wasn’t the Shadowlord killed like 2000 years before the aliens even invaded?? Maybe this too was just reproduced by aimless androids and their network. As they tend to do.)
And ya know the whole church thing—the androids and machines eventually deifying humanity in a way; the black boxes being the same as machine cores—coming together in the end to repair 2B’s black box… I’ll take it.
What WAS needed however was more A2. Where is my girl, Taro-san. Free her.

I went to the Nier concert in Atlanta yesterday, and it was a wonderful time. The music was so enjoyable that I kept disassociating. Was so badass.

So I've been away. Here's why (sorry in advance for poor image quality, my phone is starting to show its age)

Finally got to cross Nier Orchestra off my bucket list after 4 years of waiting for the next one! I had to haul my ass all the way to Germany to see it, but it was worth every penny (yes I'm still a Nier fan even through the BG3 hyperfixation, that's why I haven't changed my icon). Shoutout to the 2B and A2 who were offering free pics

I recently got to see the Nier Orchestra Concert and it was quite literally a magical experience and I was close to tears at the end. I had to draw something to honor both Replicant and Automata. These games and its OST mean so much to me and they are so so special.
