Traverse Town - Kingdom Hearts

- The Traverse Town theme from the original version of Kingdom Hearts. I prefer this one over the 1.5 version, just like most of the songs from the KH OST. The piano just sounds too quiet in the 1.5 version, it's almost non-existent.
Sorry for the random pops throughout the song, they weren't there originally when I uploaded the video, so I guess TH-cam messed something up. It REALLY bothers me, to be honest.

Imagine if they played this at Main Street, Disneyland at night. How dope would that be?
It would have reach of the charts for both Disney and KH fans. Imagine the Twilight Town themes (whether it's Sora or Roxas' themes for both worlds) playing on a cozy afternoon cafe during nightfall, and then switched over to Traverse Town's theme during nightime. The dream of a KH fan.
Too many people running around like Sora does in the game. 😂
@@NYOlly15 with really big shoes
This is it
That would be lit. You can't go wrong with such a chill theme
it's so weird hearing this song now when i am 26 years old considering how much of a impact this game and song had on me way back when the game first came out, this is probably the closest i ever get to an actual time machine. What i mean is that whenever i hear this song i feel like my younger self and thats just wonderful
I feel ya. Btw, I'm sure you just heard the news that Sora is gonna be in Smash!
@@whereaboutsunknown3822 yeah dude!
Wow lol I’m 26 too
@@bjj8110 we are old dude lol
I feel that and I'm 23. I miss being a kid. ToT
Hearing this song is like being greeted by an old friend. Traverse Town is not in every KH game, but it's definitely a staple world of the franchise which serves to start off your brand new adventure.
Shame it wasn't in 3 since Twilight Town was. I would've loved to see it recreated in Unreal Engine.
Man this is spot on.. I can hear the sound effects for the menu already lol
This music always felt like a safe place, like it’s really such a comforting theme
This is the key.
Hippie cheeseburger didn’t expect to find you here I’ve seen you in the comment section of 60s modern rock bands
Well traverse town was described in one of the Kingdom Hearts games as being 'the haven for those whose worlds were lost to darkness' so you got that one right.
@@adammarquez5203 That's because Kingdom Hearts made all of us comrades
Hearing this song when i was 8 made me frustrated because i was stuck in traverse town for literally a month. Hearing this song at 27 now makes me want to cry with nostalgia
I alo remember being bad at the game and getting stuck and losing a lot. Funny how patient we were as kids.
@@lightorchestrator I was and still am impatient. Maybe when I grow up I will be patient for once?
This song brings back the deepest longing for the past. My mom worked so unbelievably hard to give me the best childhood a kid could ask for. Wish I could go back.
Thank you mom
So say we all.
This comment actually brought a tear to my eye ❤
Actually, Kingdom Hearts was my first video game in my PS2 and despite not having great grades back then. My mom bought me a PS2 for my birthday and Christmas. Thanks mom for the great memories. 😁
Okay but what does that have to do with this?
@@Balalaika74 dick move
I'm glad that this exists on youtube
Pretty sure the ost to like every game ever made is on TH-cam somewhere these days.
@@baddog6003 i didn't understand
AMEN
me too
Shut up now before i make you
I spent a lot of my childhood in Travers Town.❤️
I think the other 113 people who like this comment including myself know exactly what you're saying. I know without a doubt we all must come together eventually it be nice to meet the other minds who spent their minds in a world that others couldn't understand even if they wanted too. If that makes sense lmao
Jumpin around, buying and selling, fighting heartless, ya' know havin fun ^-^
This man is clearly hiding his key blade.
Same :)
me too.
The worst part about life is growing up and leaving behind precious moments and loved ones. This song embodies the definition of ‘my childhood’. I was 9 or 10 when this game came out && I regret rushing to be older. Beautiful melody.
"I regret rushing to be older."
that cut.
Beautiful comment, it made me choke up a bit. Hope youre doing well.
I still love this game
The thing I miss most about childhood is how something that seems small now like this video game felt like a grand adventure at the time.
Being a child wasn't much easier than being an adult. Lots of disrespect, being unhealthy, awkward and frustrated. Just like being an adult. But the feeling of being drawn in by media, that I miss that I don't get anymore.
I literally remember this game coming out at circuit city, it was super expensive. 50 dollars!! As a kid, that’s a whole lotta money. This game was everything to me and my bro’s. The excitement of finding new worlds, learning new abilities. Dam, it’s the little things in life
You mean “Munny” lol jk
Right I say munny lol
You said it! Me and my brothers had so much fun with this game. The hours and hours of hearing this music haha
Listening to this breaks my heart, oh how I wish I could go back in time, when I didn't have any problems and all I thought about was coming back from school to play kingdom hearts..
It's ok bro think about all the things you learned in your path
Same.. Even though now I have a daughter and i'm 29 y/o, this time was stressless and so peaceful tbh.. Good old memories
Me too, Brother
Its beyond comforting to know we all share this feeling, but in our own unique ways. Keep your head up 😌
❤ Hope you're doing alright, OP.
30 years old and i still love this song
34 here and likewise. :)
32
50.
Listened to this entire song on loop for 15 minutes straight driving home from my High School Graduation. The Kingdom Hearts games will probably forever remain as some of the greatest memories I’ve had in life.
For me personally, I don’t think anything ever will hit me harder in the nostalgia feels than this song ❤️
This one and Dearly Beloved, for sure 😊
Here is why Kingdom Hearts was amazing:
1. Emotional storytelling from the start
2. Surreal worlds like Destiny Island
3. Disney characters
4. Unique combat system
5. GUMMY SHIP BUILDING
I'm amazed that the whole thing is just a dream of discount Noctis.
I always hated the gummy ship part
@@lightyagami5857 wait whaaaat? Why?
Aaaand then the plot got super convoluted.
U left his great the music was out tho
Sora announced for Smash, good quality Traverse Town, incredible OST, Homura Profile Pic, too good
Pog😁😊
Using this as a lullaby for my 10 week old son. Works every time.
Was humming this, realized what it was, came to find it. Such a memory trip.
Literally me today 😂
same mate, same!
Just started humming it one day, had to go back and remember where I got it from.
Caught me just this morning! Woke up frustrated, not sure why but upset with existence. when I sat down to try to calm myself, a piece of this came out as a little hum. It's funny, I didn't realize that it was this song as it came out of my mouth, but recognized it immediately when I heard myself hum. I'm feeling much more at peace, listening to it proper now. Thanks to everyone else sharing in this nostalgia. We may be alone, but sometimes we're alone together ❤
I never beat Kingdom Hearts, but to think it was my first RPG-like experience ever...
As an adult gamer, you sometimes forget some of the best, most important games that formed your tastes and passions.
This brings back memories I didn’t know I had.
Ugh can’t put into words how much I relate I started playing this when I was like 4 or 5 and would only make it up to Alice in wonderland and was stuck at the boss. (Didn’t know what saving was) I’m 18 now and I’m glad I found the remix on sale on ps store playing through all of them rn currently at bbs
@@jrena9443 great to hear man!
Sounds like u need to replay it tgen
i never beat this game cuz the disc got borked at the jungle and i didnt had a memory card xD
Now is the Time my Friend..
HD 1.5 and HD 2.5 Final ReMix
2.8 and KH3 are there for you to Enjoy all of the Story m8
The first game to ever make me stay up multiple nights in a row while playing and not regret it
Traverse Town is so nostalgic, it's the essence of Kingdom Hearts in my opinion.
When I was riding the trolley in my city, I played this theme and it went surprisingly well with the sunset in the city
Just picked this up on steam and it felt like my soul transcended time. I never finished this game or two (didn't even play the others) but man does this bring me back to when I was a kid before everything went to shit.
Why am I crying out of nostalgia :'(
you are not alone man.
not me but i respect this music
I'm crying too
Good question. It's time to leave codfish times m the pay
@@JohnBrown-pq9tj ... Huh?
27 years old and beat the series finally. I played 1 and 2 as a kid all the time never beat them. Recently this time I did everything you can do except sephiroth😅. 10/10 masterpieces
I remember around the time the original KH showed up in our house. I went to the mall one night with my family, and while we were walking around, I swear I could hear this playing in the back of my mind. It’s a small thing, but one of my favorite childhood memories. I always said that the original game was the one that held the most magic and the soundtrack had a lot to do with it because I’m sure that was the first time any of us had heard anything of that scope.
For how large this town is/time spent there doing things, it's amazing they could get away with a song that loops after 34 seconds... but it works. I do wish there was an additional section though, because...it's freakin' short!
my big brother gave me his copy of this game when kh2 came out. i was just 5 years old. it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. the story and the characters absolutely fascinated me. and now its my favorite game of all time, hands down. no other game can make me feel the way kingdom hearts can. bless the souls on this earth who created this absolute masterstroke of a game
This song always comforts me. It makes me fondly remember just walking around Traverse Town relaxing while listening to the music. I spent way too much time walking around the 1st district haha
I was 8, and spent 2 weeks feeling like I was gonna die when I got a nasty case of flu every time I woke up this was the sound I heard and still remember being wrapped up in a duvet with the fireplace on and my mum next to me playing the game. Things were so much simpler then, especially when you consider that Sora, Riku and Kiri essentially lost their parents when the whole island was swallowed up by the heartless 😢
Yoko Shimomura went off on this one, she's an absolute icon to have composed such a relaxing piece of music 🙏
Don't play while your sleepy😅
I'm not even really a kingdom hearts fan, but this track has always stuck in my head since whenever I encountered it in KH1
It's kind of neat how, as a 39 year old who first played this when he was 19, I'm seeing comments by people explaining how this game was one of their first gaming experiences when they were little. I'm like "Oh wow, so KH on PS2 was like their Super Mario Bros. 1!" It's neat how gaming can bridge generation gaps :) Everybody has their own unique take! Life is interesting :)
I'm only 26 and my first gaming experience was that exactly: Super Mario Bros. I didn't try KH until this April, mostly out of bias based on one person I know. But when I tried KH2 vanilla on emulator, I was already hooked, and Roxas was my favorite character. Not long after, I bought the entire collection on Epic during a sale (Steam didn't have them yet) and played through KH2FM as Roxas. I feel awful for thinking these games were bad.
I listened to this song on repeat all night. I had dreams I was there, dude.
Summer nights as a kid, I used to turn on the game and go to traverse town just to fall asleep to this song
I m 34 stil listen to this
Brings me back
After a lot of stuff that happened to me as a person through life, this soundtrack just throw me to a time where i was thinking about simpler things, i usually don't take nostalgia bias to seriously, but KH is one of those exceptions that you have to make
Everyone here remember their childhood... Well, I was already at university when this game was released. I have a friend who's a big fan of Disney, and I am a huge fan of Final Fantasy - we were so excited seeing there was a game putting them together! Now we are both in our 40, but still we enjoy Kingdom Hearts a lot! First chapter was the best 🤩
My oldest homie recommended me this game. We were about 8 years old when this game came out. He let me borrow it on my PS2. I have been hooked since maybe 2003. Love and miss you George. You made a life long fan out of me.
I just started playing this game today for the first time and this song in particular is oddly nostalgic I don’t know why, it’s something so nice I can’t put my finger on it.
I feel like riku walking down the street honestly and also I live by the beach and our downtown looks and feels like traverse town especially since it's a attraction town and at nightime. Life is good never forget folks.
Why does therapy cost money when this is for free on TH-cam?
I only started playing these games 3 MONTHS AGO, and I already feel nostalgic. Amazing how a PS2 game in the year 2022 can still transport me to another world.
It’s also pretty bittersweet for me, because I only enjoy KH1 and KH2. The rest of the series is just needlessly, frustratingly complicated in my opinion. I stopped caring.
So I think part of the reason why I’m extra attached to the first 2 is because they’re all that I have. I want to love the others, but I just can’t. So the adventure ended prematurely for me.
You didn't liked the 3 ?
The other games aren’t even that complicated. I never understood why people say that all the time. The only game that was overly complicated was dream drop distance with its time travel bs. Everything else was just far-fetched and needed some sort of imagination and a will to just except what is told, like the data stuff in recoded. But everything is still easily understandable if you are actually attentive.
And I love KH exactly for that. It could be a boring „we had this a thousand times already“-story but instead it tells a tale unlike any other. Iam extremely thankful that KH went this route even though some couldn’t keep up with it.
@@TimmysohnLP I can understand the plot of the other KH games perfectly fine, I just think it’s needlessly complicated. (As in more complicated than it really needs to be.)
I feel like Tetsuya Nomura just adds as much stuff to the story as possible just for the sake of…having more stuff. I don’t enjoy it.
I still have high respect him though, he works his ass off and clearly loves his job.
By the way, thank you for actually typing out a thoughtful response, rather than just saying “stfu you’re wrong” or something. I’m glad you enjoy the series
How the hell did they know to craft the perfect childhood game? Everything, to the music and story just screams nostalgia and innocence.
Creativity was still alive and well back then. It’s almost impossible for a game like kingdom hearts to be birthed in todays world
Hey, adults have fond memories of this game too!😮💨
KH2 has the best gameplay but KH1 has the best story and the best soundtrack ! Change my mind...
considering both kingdom hearts 1 kingdom hearts chain of memories and kingdom hearts 2 are all one story i don't see how kingdom hearts 1 is better nor is kingdom hearts two better than kingdom hearts 1. it ultimately boils down to Sora's goal throughout all three games. he wants to return to the islands with his friends. only kairi returned to the islands in the first game and the other two games were of sora trying to find riku and bring him back home to destiny islands he never found riku in chain of memories but finally found him in the end of Kingdom hearts 2 and after the final battle with xemnas returned to destiny islands with riku finally accomplishing his goal that the set out to do in the very beginning. so i don't see any difference in the storys of 1 and 2 because like i said they are only parts of one story.
I wholeheartedly agree. The second got good soundtrack but the first always slaps
you can't.
My older brother and I played through this game together as kids, it was my first video game ever. ❤️
ah so many memories of traverse town. it gives me tears at the thought
There’s truly no words to properly capture how much this game, this art, means to so many of us, my heart is so full when I hear any of the music
If home had a theme it would be this,I remember going to Traverse Town the first time looking for Donald and Goofy this is bringing back memories back in 2020. Traverse Town is just a feel good place!
My uncle is a real one for getting me this game.
What does real one mean?
@@SeiyaTempest A dependable, authentic friend
A real one is a person you can always depend on, no matter what. The person may be anyone you have a special connection with, such as a family member, a bestie, or an SO. There are no clear origins for the term, but it gained popularity on social media in the mid-2010s
キングダムハーツは男の子時に、いつもゲームをしていたよ。今は曲を聞いているから、嬉しくなったけど、アダルトになった時もまた大好きなんです❤. I feel so old listening to this. I was 13 when I first heard this song…. I’m 29, about to turn 30 in December. I hope there’s a huge cosplay resurgence once KHIV comes out!
I played kh1 and 2 but aomehow traverse town was always remembered by my heart. There is something with this town. 2010❤
I'll never forget losing my mind when I first laid eyes on this game, disney character and final fantasy characters in the same game? It didnt seem real. But then I got the game for my birthday and finally made it to traverse town. As a 9 year old boy I flipped the hell out when I saw Squall, then Donald and Goofy lol
same here, I remember my brothers and I running around spotting characters and getting so pumped. Just hearing this song almost makes me misty eyed...Nostalgia is a hell of a feeling.
@@WitnessToDawn It sure is man..
when ur dead inside
Listening to the themes for Twilight town and Traverse town back to back, it's impressive how they feel connected by two sides of a coin, a spiritual sequel. Traverse town is completely upbeat, and lively, perfect as a starting theme of a journey. Twilight town is the opposite. It's slow, melancholic, but still has that warmth that Traverse town has. Despite it also being the first town of KH2, it still signals the end of a journey, not the start. Yoko Shimomura should be proud of her work in these games. No short list of memorable and very well composed tracks in this series.
Listening to this really takes me back when I was in 5th grade and my brother was in 3rd grade. Definitely one of our favorites and have played just about every game that's come out since then. The Kingdom Hearts series has had a big impact on us and made us closer growing up like the bond sora and riku have, 2 brothers having each other's back
This song literally forces me into that ratatouille Food critic "childhood flashback" moment ... The moment i hear it i am immediately sent back to that child version of me ... Also almost cry ...
I finished playing this game a couple months ago and this is somehow already nostalgic to me. This really is a magical game
This song makes me feel so peace and take me back in time and it was such amazing game in my childhood i could listen to this and fall asleep to it again so peaceful and memorable so last words got it memorized
This game came out when I was barely a year old, my earliest memory was playing this game and getting to traverse town and just having fun, my most fond memory I have of my family, it sucks because, it’s just a memory now.. this song really flooded my brain with those memories
Takes me back 20 plus years to my mid teens just loving this game
I jumped into this series super late. I was close to a year old when it came out (I was born in November of 2001, this game released in America sometime during 2002), and had never even heard of this series until Dream Drop Distance came out (2012), which I got as a birthday gift or something. I didn’t play the very first game until just a couple years ago, but I had a blast exploring all those Disney movies I’d watched over the years. I really wish I jumped on board sooner.
Donald sitting on the lower level just hits me. Not sure why. I think it invokes a certain feeling of wonder and adventure that is strictly Disney.
Just completed the game for the first time a few days ago. I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG HOLY COW. As people have been saying in the comments, even though I only heard this song recently, it's incredibly nostalgic. It perfectly fits the level, and is filled with that ever glorious Disney magic!! Traverse Town had a BEAUTIFUL atmosphere, it feels like how Disney World feels at night, and that is a HUGE compliment. This is one of my new favorite tracks of all time! I can listen to it on repeat for ages and never get sick of it! I legitimately can't think of another song I can say that about. Oh man, it's so beautiful.
One of my favorite themes from any video game. Makes me sad tho 😢
They had to know they were cooking in the studio when they were making this, the nostalgia runs deep with this one
Crazy seeing all these comments from people outlining EXACTLY how this makes me feel. All the different stories, but all the same thing. I was a teen in high school playing this for the first time and this literally transported me back to those memories and feelings. Ooof
I'm imagining having a ramen dinner in the patio in traverse town. Sipping on some Asahi beer. Life is good! :D
I have a 8 year old boy and we beat this game together. Every time I hear this song, I immediately get teary eyed and emotional. We made some wonderful memories together
That theme, such a comforting tone with a lively melody♥
It has a little note of Final Fantasy taverns music, which I love very much-
Listening to this makes me feel nostalgic of the past. I remembered how life was simpler back then when all I cared about was video games and anime.
This tune has me traversing through Disney Springs at night
Now my purpose in life is to create a bar with the same style and ambiance as Traverse Town. The chillest place to have a cold one with your buddies ! A warm fireplace in winter, some comfy sofa and this song playing a few times during the evening. That would be nice.
And of course a ps2 with the game on !
Haha, sounds like quite the cozy bar.
This game is mostly the reason I started composition for videogames and movies ❤️ It means so much to me
I only started playing this series a few weeks ago but hearing this song already makes me nostalgic. Playing KH2 right now and I actually miss Traverse Town
Love Kingdom Hearts so much, but now that I hear again after a few years, why this honestly sound like I'm waiting to be connected to the next available customer service representative.
I’d be happy to wait if hold music sounded this good tbh 😂
Highest dimensional music I’ve heard so far in this life
My older brother would play this game at my grandmother’s house and I would watch (I was too young to hold a controller/play a game well at the time). I remember how he would be on this level while I was half fall asleep or reading or eating. I would also back seat game with him too while he was playing and we would talk, laugh, be amazed at the graphics, and I’d get excited to see Disney characters fighting evil. It’s a very fond memory of mine since I don’t get to see/hear my brother as much anymore.
Kingdom Hearts helped create this memory and this song helps me remember it.
13-year old me almost slept on this game when it came out in 2002. The media surrounding this game showed too much of the Disney characters at a time when "cool" games like Final Fantasy X, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil 4 were coming out. The only reason I even bought the game was 'cause Square made it.
Looking back at the experience that the KH series has given me, I don't regret that decision a single bit.
I made this the hold music for my job. Its been almost a year and they still haven't noticed.
That's pretty epic.
almost 2 years and still no one has noticed XD
Cool ost, very peaceful :3
Timeless, and calming....
I woke up with this song stuck in my head 😊
I've had this song in my head for a few days. I'm not complaining though.
@@Shady_InktailI honestly want to play the whole series again
Ah I really need to go back and play Kingdom Hearts someday. I replayed Final Fantasy 7 to 100% completion doing all the stuff I never did as a kid and it was so much fun. I unlocked the secret end video in Kingdom Hearts but I never got the ultima weapon or beat Sephiroth or the ice golem in Hercules world. I haven't played it since I was 11! The only thing stopping me is I lost my PS2 connector cables somehow 😭
There’s still emulators and many ports like ps3, and ps4 versions
@@wartoendwars987 nahh I gotta play it on my original Ps2 with a CRT for the nostalgia. Plus I never found a Ps2 emulator that worked, maybe there is one but all the ones I tried in the past never worked
@@noticemesenpai3781 what is a crt? And I understand the nostalgia also. I remember I only played the emulator just to be able to play the final mix version. Highly recommended.
I like to listen to this while roaming the neighborhood at night. It clears my head. The buildings design with some warm lights radiating from within the houses make the place look like Traverse town. It feels nice.
When i was a kid, we didn’t have a memory card on our ps2 so me and my sister would just make sora walk all over traverse town very slowly, we would pretend he worked at that restaurant near sid’s shop and that he lived in that one storage room where he talks to yuffy, leon and aerith before he leaves.
Close your eyes and let that feeling sink in...

I can FINALLY play the entire series on Nintendo consoles. Sakurai went above and beyond on this one, too bad Mickey, Donald, and Goofy didn't make the cut (fun fact, this composer also did Xenoblade and Bowser's Inside Story)
Yup, she was a composer in every Mario & Luigi game. She's also lent her talent for a lot of Smash remixes, like Treasure Trove Cove.
Yoko Shimura's the name if I got it right lol. She created the original Ryu theme & a lot of the big Capcom SF themes but her music taste wasn't appreciated there. Then Square Enix got ahold of her & the rest is history lol
nah, don't. the cloud thing is a waste
If you bought them on switch hope you got good internet to play them! Be sure to save a lot!
You'll never feel this warm, carefree, happy, innocent, and just generally feel this "okay" ever again, and neither will I lol, but don't ever forget that being a kid was awful too!
A happier Twilight Town, it's odd that it is considering that Traverse Town was set at night, and if you tried to go anywhere away from the main district you'd immediately be attacked.
But yes, much more upbeat and feel good than Twilight Town's music.
34 years old and this song still makes me think "home"
Me wandering around blindly as a child, not knowing if a cut scene happened or not, bliss.
I first heard this in my last year of high school. I spent my nights playing this. Such a great game!
Same! it's so weird hearing this song now when i am 26 years old considering how much of a impact this game and song had on me way back when the game first came out, this is probably the closest i ever get to an actual time machine.
