Hear Game Music During NieR Summer Vacation – Request Hour

Square Enix announced it will hold a “NieR Summer Vacation – Request Hour” game music stream in honor of the series’ 15th anniversary on YouTube on July 6, 2025. Keiichi Okabe and Yoko Taro confirmed they will appear during it. It will consist of two parts, with people able to request tracks for the portion starting at 2am ET/3pm JST via Niconico.

The first portion of the chat is called Drive DJ. That’s the one in which will only involve music from the NieR series. The second part is when people associated with the series will appear at 6am ET/7pm JST. In addition to creator Yoko Taro and composer Keiichi Okabe appearing during that part, producer Yosuke Saito and designer Takahisa Taura will be present.

Here’s the placeholder for the stream:

We’ll hear NieR series music in another way soon too. Okabe and MONACA worked on Square Enix Vocal Covers: Timeless Classics, which debuted on June 25, 2025 in Japan. That featured “Weight of the World” from NieR: Automata and “Kaine / Salvation” from NieR Replicant and Gestalt.

NieR first appeared on the PS3 and Xbox 360, with the Replicant release showing up on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. NieR: Automata is available on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC, and the anime adaptation is streaming via Crunchyroll.
