The NieR: Theatrical Orchestra 12020 was supposed to be a chance for people in Osaka and Tokyo to enjoy music for the series. However, the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the performances in both cities. While the show can’t go on, the merchandise can. Square Enix opened pre-orders for NieR: Theatrical Orchestra 12020 shirts.
There are two different shirts to choose from. The first is called, appropriately enough, One. It has one Emil head on the front, which is used as the 0 in the 10th logo. (This is because the concert was supposed to be a 10th anniversary celebratory event.) The other is called Many and features a pattern with multiple 10th anniversary logos with Emil and other NieR Replicant and NieR Automata imagery.
Each of the NieR: Theatrical Orchestra 12020 shirts is a unisex style available in sizes small through XXL. They are both made of 100% cotton and will cost $24.99 each. An exact release date wasn’t offered, but they will ship out sometime in September 2020.
As for the NieR: Theatrical Orchestra 12020 concerts themselves, Square Enix hasn’t announced if or when they will be held. The performances would have featured appearances from the composer, Keiichi Okabe, and voice actors like like Yui “2B” Ishikawa, Natsuki “9S” Hanae, Koji “Nier” Yusa, and Hiroki “Grimoire Weiss” Yasumoto.
