And then at the end the Chorus Men get confirmed for Smash.
edit: Aww the concert already happened
Well the event is on the 26th and 27th. So there's still time for something I hope.
Miyamoto's supposed to appear, was it just that he's saying "hi, I'm here" or is he doing something special?

Damn, the Zelda portion is amazing, as usual. Some variation of that Shop theme needs to appear in the next Zelda game.

I felt the same way back when it was first shown last year, but it's grown on me since then. The arrangement here was fantastic.
Loved the other stuff too. I'd like to know what Kondo, Sakai and Masuda were saying...
thanks mate
Oh man, this is fantastic. I have so much to say right now.
Loving the new Smash theme. Is Junichi Masuda really one of the composers for the game?
I wish I understood what they were talking about at the end.
Oh, I get it now. Those three composed the entire thing, not just the Smash part.

That confused me too, but I think it was just referring to how he was one of the composers who showed up at the end.
Yeah, I just realized that. Makes sense.

Anyway, this was a group photo they took backstage:

Going to listen it while drawing.
The first big band concert nintendo did (the mario and zelda big band) was amazing, remember hearing all the time when I was in high school.
I love big band music.

So, overall I liked it of course but the Mario & Zelda Big Band concert is still superior to me.
The performance and quality is closer to the event that was in... 2011 IIRC (before the 3DS came out and Nintendo did an event to show it in Tokyo).
Adapting music to the big band style requires some work and not all music fits it well.
Also, the Brawl theme by Uematsu is still superior to the Smash WiiU/3DS one. I prefere Melee too, and even the first Smash music in fact.
Anyway, region locking was lame as usual. And as usual this material will likely never be reused. IMO it should be available on eShop somehow.
And idk if Sakai is my new hero or just weirdo. He's like living with a dozen of cats or maybe he is a cat himself.

Oh holy crap! the Nintendo big band Live concert from about ten years back is one of the most glorious performances of gaming music ever. I cannot wait to listen to this! If anyone has not seen the previous performance, track it down now. It's amazing stuff.

I can't for the life of me recognize the song after the Green Greens bit in the Kirby section (around 2:22). It's driving me crazy. Anyone know what it is?

I think is the Legendary Air Ride Machine from Kirby's air ride but I'm not too sure.

So it looks like you can watch the timeshifted stream if you subscribe to NicoNico premium and are residing in Japan. I checked the videos on YouTube, and the highest quality you can get out of them is the YouTube 480p mp4 which appears to encode its audio as AAC at 96 kbps. I downloaded the rehearsal from NicoNico and it has AAC audio encoded at 190 kbps.
I wonder if anyone in Japan can download the videos that were uploaded to YouTube from NicoNico so we can get a much better audio quality?

There is one, but it's another performance. It's called Mario and Zelda Big Band Live. It's great.

Awesome concert, maybe not as great as the Mario and Zelda CD, but that Smash Bros. Medley is just too good! I need more!
Ohhhh thank you so much. Sublimeeeeee.

I suck at recognising what song is what and it's killing me.
Someone knowledgeable needs to go through the whole thing and list all the tracks

That hisstocrat rendition. Perfect, just perfect. Highlight of SM3DW ost and it's great. Will have to listen through the whole thing later on.
Hahaha yeah. This happens to me often too, I hate it. I know the composition, I can hum it, I know how it goes but for the love of all that's holy I can't remember where it's from.

I guess I can give the Pokemon one a shot:I suck at recognising what song is what and it's killing me.

Just finished hearing it, Mario and Zelda big band shits this one from a great high, pretty unimpressive.
Kirby was the best segment I think. Pretty poor overall, and I love big band
And SSB4 main theme is seriously lacking, not the fault of this concert, its the fault of the theme in general. It's like they are not even trying. This and the game's name (and some other aspects, but that's for another time) don't give me the same confidence as when I was watching all the media of melee and brawl, it's like that epic and fun spark in presentation is absent totally from the 4th installment. Hope im wrong though.
