The producer of the event, Jason Michael Paul, had this to say about Koji Kondo attending the event, “To have Kondo-san participate in our premiere is truly the icing on the cake! I would have never imagined that when I was playing Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda as a kid that I would be doing a concert 20 years later with Kondo-san present to take part in a video game music concert featuring his music. Our event promises to be the most memorable concert ever.”
