Mond Tränen PhilharmoNikeR (also known as the Tsuki Orchestra aka Tsuki Oke) is a volunteer-based musical group formed by fans with the goal of performing music from the NieR game series.
In 2017, they arranged music from NieR Gestalt/Replicant, and in 2019, they performed pieces from NieR:Automata with a full orchestra and chorus. At this concert, they performed music from NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… featuring an orchestra, chorus, and pipe organ. The group is dedicated to creating concerts that capture the essence of the NieR universe, continuously striving to innovate and improve their performances.
Please Note: This organization is not affiliated with Square Enix, the composers, or the arrangers.
Since today is the first of October, this is often when various contracts come to an end, and this is unfortunately true for Keigo Hoashi, who had been working with MONACA for over 15 years. He will be going independent, so we may still hear his music somewhere in the future.
If you are a fan of the NIeR soundtracks, half of them is all thanks to Hoashi’s work. As far as the NieR:Automata original soundtrack goes, you can see how each of the tracks are attributed to each of the MONACA composers here.
Here are a couple of his memorable tracks on the NieR:Automata OST:

Preparations for this year’s Tokyo Game Show is well underway! The three NieR dudes won’t stop their huge stock of NieR Orchestral Arrangement Special Edition boxs are signed!
This will be a light-hearted livestream as they are effectively locked inside the SQEX building and forced to sign their autographs over and over again! While they’re busy signing, they’ll be discussing some highlights of their work, some behind-the-scenes stories, and other fun talk. It will be interesting to see if they’re able to finish signing everything by the end of the livestream…
