On September 1, the Tokyo Game Show announced that they will host a digital concert series. The event, dubbed the Tokyo Game Music Fes, will be a pair of orchestral concerts, which will feature arrangements of melodies from popular video games.

The event will be divided into two “stages”: The TGS 2021 Special Stage, and the TGS 25th Anniversary Stage. The “TGS 2021 Special Stage” show will be held on October 2, while the “TGS 25th Anniversary Stage” concert is slated for October 3. Doors for the first concert will open on October 2 at 17:00 JST (October 2 at 4:00AM EDT / 1:00AM PDT).

Sakura Wars is listed as the first title in the set list for the TGS 25th Anniversary Stage show. In addition, the site is hosting a new “Sakura Wars 25 Anniversary” emblem. The emblem is a red-and-black gradient image of Sakura Shinguji, Sakura Amamiya, Erica Fontaine, and Gemini Sunrise that features artwork that was previously used on the poster for Kohei Tanaka’s orchestral concert.
