Kenji Ito leads the SaGa series' official band DESTINY 8, which held its first one-man live in September 2026, and he fronts the concert series Lilia Game Music Selection, whose third volume goes on sale October 10, 2026 for a March 2027 date.
Kenji Ito's recent activity on Yomimono has two threads: his role as leader of DESTINY 8, the official band for Square Enix's SaGa series, and his position as the headliner of a recurring concert series in Saitama. DESTINY 8 performed its first one-man live, DESTINY 8 THE FIRST LIVE, on September 21 at Shibuya WWW X in Tokyo. Ito leads the band, which includes five other musicians. Tickets with an autograph session cost 12,000 yen, general admission 8,200 yen, with a 600 yen drink fee.
The concert series Lilia Game Music Selection has reached its third volume, titled Lilia Game Music Selection vol.3 Kenji Ito with Tsutomu Narita. Tickets went on general sale on October 10, 2026 at 10:00 for the performance on March 13, 2027 at Kawaguchi General Culture Center Lilia in Saitama Prefecture. Doors are at 13:30 and the performance starts at 14:00. All reserved seats cost 8,000 yen.
Narita joins as guest, with both performers on piano. The announced program pairs Ito's SaGa and Mana battle themes with Piazzolla's Libertango, which the source calls a staple of his concerts. The previous guest in the series was Yuzo Koshiro, who appeared in February 2024. Between the band's live date in September 2026 and the concert volume scheduled for March 2027, both stories outline a schedule already set, not one still forming.
