This song serves as the perfect capstone for the story built up since the original Kingdom Hearts. The deep, melancholic tune has reached peak capacity, giving us a sense of what the tone will be like and how far it has developed. The tone has steadily been growing through the songs, from Simple & Clean, to Sanctuary, and now Don't Think Twice. Whether the game has a happy or sad ending, this is the swan song for the Dark Seeker Saga. It captures everything about the past and the future. It's so melancholic, yet also enrapturing, like a soft blanket after a hard day. The journey has been long and hard, but we made it.
Monsters inc was one of the first movies I ever watched and can actually remember. Kingdom hearts is one of the greatest games I've ever played. First, this trailer kills me. Secondly, the guys at square enix aren't just video game designers. They're fucking artists.
Yeah. When this drops later in the year, I am going to retire from the series because being a fan of Kingdom Hearts since it's debut in 2002 for so long, I don't what will happen to this incredible franchise.
Matthew Mvpherson Kingdom Hearts 3 will be it's last instalment so you don't need to worry about waiting for other games. Hopefully they include all the games in one bundle because I wanna play the games in chronological order. This franchise is so amazing I can't wait for its last game to come out!
Not the last game in general. It's the end of Sora, Riku, and Kairi's story. They're going to keep making more but those 3 are done after this game for good.
Simple and clean represented the nervous beginning of the journey. My sanctuary was the realization of the depth of life and its battles and the people who made it worth it. Dont think twice is the final look back at every moment, every smile.. Every sky shared and the sorrow to see it end.... I feel like this game will finally close the door on a chapter of my life...
yep the end of our childhood after this game I'm done with video games I have a child and there's a saying 'All good things must come to an end" I'll show her the game one day and maybe she will be just as passionate as her father.
The lyrics really make me feel How did I live In a kingdom of thieves And people who say Things they don't really mean, really mean You're only everything I ever dreamed Ever dreamed of, ever dreamed of You must be kidding me, did you really think I could say no [Chorus] I want you for a lifetime So if you’re gonna think twice, baby I don’t wanna know, baby I don’t wanna know Everything is just right But if you’re gonna think twice, baby I don’t wanna know, baby I don’t wanna know
I really like how this song sounds. It suits "the end of xehanort saga". Simple and Clean and Sanctuary felt like it tell us about"the start of the adventure and overcoming any obstacles" so they are more upbeat and "you can do it !" Vibe. While Don't Think Twice tells us to "it's all over now, everything you've done is enough and you've done really well, now you should rest and watch the sunset under a paopu tree". It provides us with a simple and clean tune and a tranquil sanctuary.
I think this song would work much better as the ending/credits scene because of the reasons you stated. But it's not the end yet when you start the game. I think the intro song should be something more intense, like DDD's intro, to build up to the climax which the entirety of the series has been leading up to.
That moment when you realize that you were waiting for KH3 since 2008, before you were a kid going to school, now you're a adult paying the bills, weird
Main line KH dude, when i finished KH2, i was ready for KH3, and then came re:coded, remixes and Dream Drop Distance, but i was waiting for KH3 since the end of KH2
Jean Magno there’s a difference between wanting and waiting mate. You’ve been wanting KH3 ever since you beat kh2 but they were never making it at that time until 2013. We’ve been waiting since 2013.
Alternatively, they'll remix it for the intro like they did for Simple And Clean. Either way, I can't wait for for what the intro cutscene will look like!
Icecl Keyheart this song fits perfectly for the ending. Imagine after the big battle is finished but not everyone survived. Now that would fit perfectly
1st Time: didn't like it 2nd time: let me listen to it again 3rd time: read comment about the song tying in all the games including the critical "birth by sleep " 4th time: listens to song and plays it everyday now even catch myself singing it in my head and few times throughout the day Thank you Utada Hikaru and Kingdom Hearts as well as the awesome fandom it has birthed
Well we do have a trailer now with an emotional scene while this song is played and I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OF THIS ... Who am I kidding? I'm hyped af and I need more
Yeah its gonna take me a minute to dig it. After the Simple and Clean anniv. remix I think I was just expecting something a bit more hyped. I have a feeling that watching it with the opening will make me appreciate it more haha
Utada Hikaru didn't think twice about making a KH3 theme. It was a simple and clean decision for her to return to her studio which is basically her sanctuary.
Nicole Beardsley Personally Im not happy with this whole "Xehanort Saga" stuff. We have been fighting the same antagonist for 16 years. This should be where KH ends because who the hell can follow Xehanort? Id rather the series end now than be milked for eternity.
Patchnose I understand, even i get tired of seeing Xehanort. I agree with fact its better if KH just ends. But I am kind of curious to see how the series goes on from here on out. But if its more of the same, then they should stop before they ruin it.
Nicole Beardsley You misunderstand friend. I love Xehanort and its not that Im sick of him or the characters. Im just saying for the sake of theming and all that if you take down the sole cause of all problems in this world amd have been fighting him for 16 real world years, you cant just say "Ok guys who is our next big bad?" How do you follow a villain as great as Xehanort without in term making him an underling of a bigger bad which is awful or making the new big bad more dangerous which is disrepsectful to what has come before. I feel like thematically it should just end cause its the perfect time to do so.
zora The Hedgehog you weren't paying attention? riku left that keyblade for terra at the end. ansem/xehanort and xemnas desperately wanted to reclaim their hearts from kingdom hearts in the first 2 games. it was terra trying to get his heart back the whole time. odds are that xemnas will become something of an ally in this game.
its been a long time for me since playing the first two games. can u sum up what was going on with everyone's agenda (riku, xemnas, ansem, terra, etc)? you seem to know it really well
ᅚᅚ ᅚᅚᅚᅚ let's see...... for starters riku has an affinity with terra similar to soras affinity to ventus. possibly because terra held a keyblade inheritance ceremony with riku. it's why riku was able to wield the keyblade. at the end of birth by sleep xehanort turns terra over to the darkness. xehanort posses terra with his heart. after becoming a heartless though, that possession was probably over. (no heart, no possesion) so both xemnas and his heartless are freed from this shackled and probably returned to a semi complete version of terra. they both then go on to separately decide a way to access kingdom hearts in order to retrieve their original heart, terras. considering xehanorts master plan, this is highly unusual. it brought unneeded attention to the abilities of sora's keyblade and the organization as a whole. it's a kind of tiny spark of terra that was consistently trying to rebel against xehanort. following that logic, xemnas will at some point become an ally in kh3, much like axel/lea in kh2 and dream drop distanve.
Lyrics: (glorious harmonizing) How did I live in a Kingdom of Thieves? And people who say things they don't really mean?/really mean You're only everything I ever dreamed/ever dreams of/ever dreamed of You must be kidding me, did you really think I could say no? I want you for a lifetime So if you're gunna think twice, baby, I don't wanna know/baby, I don't wanna know Everything is just fine But if you're gunna think twice baby/I don't wanna know baby/I don't wanna know......
Indeed. I think its a response/sequel to 'Simple and Clean'. Especially with the "did you REALLY think I could say no?" lyric. In S&C, she sings "it's enough when I say no". I think its connected lyrically at least. Plus the dreaming part and DDD could be connected?
This new song truly had me in tears . especially the chorus. So much emotion wrapped up in it you can tell . A perfect fit I wouldn’t have it any other way. Perfect song for an ending
The crazy thing is that that might not actually be the chorus but the pre chorus. It seems like she's still building it up and they just fade the song before going too far.
Unfortunately my twin brother past away last year before seeing this game releases. I remember watching the original trailer for kingdom hearts on G4TV. Being both Disney and Final Fantasy fans we couldn’t believe or understand what we seeing but hearing Kingdom hearts Orchestra over the trailer had us in tears for this beautiful game and fans sense then. I was 16 then I am 27 now 😿... only real fans understand that first opening cutscene.
Devon Hill He's there with you. He misses you too. Don't worry, it's ok to cry. Just make sure to try to be happy. I know he's gone, and that's harder than anybody could possibly understand, but you'll just have to do enough living for the both of you.
Thank you for sharing your story; I did something bad to myself a long time ago. I wanted to leave, but I asked for help and felt better. I'm sure my experience doesn't compare to yours, but thank you for sharing. Hope you and your brother in the sky enjoy Kingdom Hearts 3.
Kingdom hearts was always a big part of my connection with my brother, as little kids we watched my dad play through the first game, and since then I'd been the piece of media we've bonded over most. My condolences for your brother, I can only imagine how you feel. Something about Kingdom Hearts helps connect me to the people I love most, and seeing you share your story in the comments is one of the most powerful things I've seen in a TH-cam comments section. Thank you.
"you must be kidding me did you really think, I could say no?"~ Everytime I hear this part I like to think she is singing about them asking her to do a new song for KH3... I feel like this song is her personal send off and it's so touching ;~;
Cloudian~ for me, it takes me back to "simple and clean" when she says "when we are older you'll understand what I meant when I said no, I dont think life is quite that simple" it's like this song is connected to that somehow. We've come a long way from KH1. It's like this song is a full confession to love compared to how stand off-ish the message in "simple and clean" was.
People who hate on this song for not "fitting kingdom hearts" don't understand the message or the gravity of what this main theme means for the KH series as a whole.
Well, I didn't quite understand it but still find it pretty unfit. Don't get me wrong, I loved Sanctuary and Passion to the fullest but this song.. It's quite not what I would love to hear. Let's see how the Dearly beloved is going to be. More excited for that one anyway.
This isn't even the full goddamn song, and somehow people are complaining. This shit is beautiful, and the lyrics serve as a fantastic love letter to the saga ending.
It’s also been stated that actually leaving the realm of darkness is impossible to do without outside help as well. Getting in isn’t impossible just hard
Okay I'm a little surprised that there's some dislike to this song. Honestly I love this song and it fits so perfectly to some closure to this series. I think Utada outdone herself as always.
I think some were just expecting something with a more grand scale type feel to it since Sanctuary was such a heavy hitter of a song both its normal and it's after the battle versions. I admit feeling a bit the same just can't feel the 'oomph' that the previous two songs had.
I think a lot of people were expecting a faster more upbeat song, I personally also thinks this fits extremely well with a saga ending. It feels like the song is expressing that idea that everything is coming to an end and the characters have come to mature.
You're clearly blind by your love for her music, Nowhere did I state that they should have kept the original song from Kingdom Hearts 2, nor did I say change was bad, I just expressed my opinion just like you expressed yours "L" so lay off.
Nah, if you listen to more Utada songs, her songs get more intense as it goes on like Sakura Nagashi. It was starting to pick up but they faded it out, gotta wait for the full version
I feel like the reason his old keyblade broke is because he’s grown as a person in the sense that he left his darkness behind when he plunged himself into it to save Sora.
Art Sedation But the weird thing is, a Keyblade typically grows alongside it's weilder. Any significant change to the welder's heart is reflected in the shape of the Keyblade, like with Stormfall to Rainfell, and Earthshaker to Ends of the Earth.
Steven Higgins Not at all true, otherwise Soras fucking bipolar. None of the games imply the keyblades shape has anything to do with the wielder, and what you say would directly contradict X Backcover, 0.2, Birth By Sleep, II, 358/2 Days and the game mechanics of every game in the series. The initial shape when first chosen by a keyblade is based on the wielder. Any changes is created by changing the attached chain.
Rainbow Dashtruction I'm not saying that how it is for all keyblades, just that the default for can evolve with the weilder. In the cases if Terra and Aqua, their their final Keyblades are clearly evolved forms of their initial Keyblades. That's why those are their "default" forms in KH2 FM. You can basically consider it the same thing as in Ux, when you upgrade and Keychain and it changes shape.
Steven Higgins The BBS final keyblades purely exist so you clash less with the original trailer of BBS and with the final fight in general across all three character playthroughs. There is also no logic with the keyblade changing anyway. None of the games in the series make sense as to how you obtain a new blade, outside a small description in 1 stating its the chain that does it. My point on it making no sense is that when Luxu, Mickey, Sora, Roxas, or Aqua take someone elses keyblade, it stays exactly the same. No ones blades ever change either when they have a major mental shift outside in BBS. And Ive never played the X games, so I dont know their mechanics.
10tailedbijuu that's my point, but then again those two songs are massive hits, it ain't easy doing that once, even harder to do it twice, but a third time is quite incredible. Me though, never doubted her for a second
I see it as him ending a portion of his life. The blade I feel reminds him of when he gave into the darkness. It's not literal but more of him growing. His other self is his past self. He has no need for it anymore.
I think I get both sides of the discussion now. -Yes the tempo of the beat is very rare in mainstream music (which is what most people listen to) - The song is really GREAT, actually. And even though it is, obviously, not cemented in our memories, it fits amazingly with the overall tone. I'd say: give it a second or third listen to get a feel of the rhythm. It becomes easier to follow and it's really beautiful.
Kokaioh99 I agree with this 100% wasn't into this at first but then warmed up to it now I think it's a great fit. Wasn't what I was expecting but I love it now
No matter what the mood of the new song is, whether it's somber and slow or has a bumping beat, people are going to complain that the first two songs are better. Nostalgia works like that.
noestoyfacil I agree that the other two have an excitement factor, but if you consider that this game is likely to be a finale to the stuff with Xehanort , I think this fits the mood perfectly.
keep in mind that one was thoroughly remixed and the other was accompanied by an actual cinematic opening. This could get a remixing and be stunning; I hope. But for a sampling I am very happy.
Lyrics: How did I live, In a Kingdom of thieves, And people who say, Things they don't (really mean)×2, You're only everything I ever dreamed, (Ever dreamed of)×2, You must be kidding me did you really think, I could say no I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice baby, I don't wanna wanna know baby I don't wanna know, Everything is just right but if you're gonna think twice baby, I don't wanna know baby I don't wanna know...
Riku had normal looking shoes in KH2 if I remember right. Not sure about his DDD shoes. His KH1 shoes were fairly big (They were still smaller Sora's earthquake shoes lol).
No riku doesnt look better. Not with that plaid. Maybe he'll put his hood on somewhere in the game. With the horns. Him and kairi. That would be a plus
wow it didn't even hit me till I read this lol but damn if he doesn't look awesome. I still think kh2 is the best tho. kh2 made me want to play as riku so bad haha
So anyone notice that all their outfits hint at being the Guardians of light. On Mickey jacket he has two buttons. Riku has five buttons and Sora has six buttons.
I think i've figured out what the deal with the timing of the piano and the vocal is. Piano's being played in 4/4, while the vocal and percussion are being played in a swung 3/4. Piano is actually using a different numeric tempo from the vocal, but both tempos have effectively been calculated so that they synchronize with eachother exactly. tl;dr Utada's a fucking genius, accept no substitutes.
No, every part is being played in three quarters time. The piano is just syncopated. It's nothing especially impressive in terms of theory, and much of her new music is a lot better than this track. Honestly it's rather disappointing and doesn't feel like it fits in KH.
I'm not trying to ruin anything. My not enjoying the song shouldn't affect you. I'm glad you like it, I wish I could feel the same way. It's not that it needs to be complex. I love pop music. My issue with the song is that it doesn't have an interesting, transportive melody that captivates you in the same way that the previous game's themes did. It's a bit ho-hum. I have no problem with the syncopation, I just wish the whole composition and production of the track was more interesting.
ryan davis I think a little bit of reverb added to the piano would have helped to make the song a bit more atmospheric. But that's just my personal opinion. I'm not such a big fan of the new soundtrack as well but I'll wait how it comes across while actually playing it :)
Was unsure when I first heard it, but it's really growing on me. Heck, even with that first listen, I teared up. Something about this song just encompasses how I felt when I first booted up Kingdom Hearts. This series really is part of me.
I listen to the song and was like wow it’s so beautiful and did the whole pretend cry bull like “I’m so old, I’m shook” and then the song actually got stuck in my head and I just got reeeeaaalllyyy sad. Bottom line is the song gave me an existential life crisis and now I can’t stop crying. It’s so deep man. So deep.
Here are the lyrics, in case anyone was wondering. "How did I live? In a kingdom of thieves? And people who say things they don't really mean....really mean. You're only everything I ever dreamed...ever dreamed of....ever dreamed of. You must be kidding me did you really think....I could say no? I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. I don't want to know. Everything is just right, but if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. I don't want to know."
people who say things, they don't really mean ... really mean ( sounds conflicted about something) You're only everything I ever dreamed ... ever dreamed of (sounds like someone trying there best to explain something in there head) You must be kidding me did you really think ... I could say no? (confronting there fear) I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. (informing other person) Everything is just right, but if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby, I don't want to know. (Feels everything is good as it is and doesn't want to know if they are going to be rejected.) In general it feels like the song might be a part 2 for Simple and Clean tbh.
Is the rikuplica back!? First the appearing of Marluxia, which means that the rikuplica might be there and now Riku talks about and other himself!? HYPE
Looks like every characters will return for the final showdown. I hope Xion will be back t......Wait....Who's Xion and how did I know her na...me......Uhmmm....Who am I talking about??? And why am I crying???
riku replica? i was wondering what he meant, thought he was talking about another person who like him like how terra and riku are a like sharing the power of darkness.
In your hand, take this Key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend-no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love.
Damn... I felt like I was on my couch again playing until the sun came up and pretending to be sick just so I can try to beat sephiroth for the first time after a nearly million tries humming "when you walk away, please don't hear me say please ohhhh baby, oh no." Simple and clean, utada hikaru, the memories. But no, I'm on my lunch break at work 15years after that first release! I was 10! Can't wait!
I thought about my cousin who passed in 2010. We played KH1 together and beat it, then KH2 came out and he beat it within two weeks(Christmas break). Then I had a shot at it and almost beat it.
TAKE ME, Kingdom Hearts
Gamersjoint! Your content is great
So awesome man :)
Love you and all your content man!
TAKE US ALLL!!!!!
The best kh man right here
Hikki came back :')
Project Destati She has been back for a while! Listen to her new album. It is great!
Project Destati Love your work. Can't wait for Darkness
Yen Sid saaaaaaame
Yes my brudda
I think he meant back to the KH series.
This song serves as the perfect capstone for the story built up since the original Kingdom Hearts. The deep, melancholic tune has reached peak capacity, giving us a sense of what the tone will be like and how far it has developed.

Well said.
Rixec2 yeeeesssss!! Someone who feels the same.
Perfect
Wow. Perfectly worded :)
Nomura also said kingdom hearts 3 will be definitely darker than the other games, and more serious, so I'm excited, and I think this fits.
R.I.P to any Kingdom Hearts fans that past away before this game gets released :'(
kulitmed when Kingdom hearts II was released I was 8, now I'm 18... WTF!
this comment makes me sad
kulitmed ah well. Sure that wherever they are they're gonna get a play at this one.
I always told myself " idc how bad my depression is, or my suicide tendencies, or even if I get shot. I am NOT dying before I play this game!"
I won a battle against câncer a few years ago, no fucking way im dying before this game.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HMK IM GONNA WAKE UP TOMORROW LIKE A ZOMBIE BUT COMPLETELY WORTH IT
RIKU AND MICKEY OUTFITS ARE LIT
I was looking for your reaction video already
LMAO
I can’t stop crying man
HMK fuck yes dude
I cried when the reality of the new Utada song hit me
KH3 is real, guys!!!
what do you mean "the reality"?
Iron Lion I honestly thought I would never live to this day to hear the kh3 theme even if this just a teaser
Icecl Keyheart me too.
I convulsed with tears because of this song real men cry
lol she dropped an album like a year ago, this ain’t even her comeback
CAN'T HANDLE ALL THESE FEELS 😵
Tee videoo täst? 😆😆😅😃😥😥😪 PS. Suomi perkele torille,,,, marsk
Voisko tämä tulla jo
Monsters inc was one of the first movies I ever watched and can actually remember. Kingdom hearts is one of the greatest games I've ever played. First, this trailer kills me. Secondly, the guys at square enix aren't just video game designers. They're fucking artists.
Tätä on niin odotettu KH2;sta lähtien :) Ja nii kaunis kipale
I can’t stop listening to this song bring me so many memories!!
Strange. This makes me feel the way I feel when I finish a good game, sad and empty. And I haven't even played this yet. Huh.
Yeah. When this drops later in the year, I am going to retire from the series because being a fan of Kingdom Hearts since it's debut in 2002 for so long, I don't what will happen to this incredible franchise.
Matthew Mvpherson Kingdom Hearts 3 will be it's last instalment so you don't need to worry about waiting for other games. Hopefully they include all the games in one bundle because I wanna play the games in chronological order. This franchise is so amazing I can't wait for its last game to come out!
it's not the last game, it's the last of this arc, they're making more
Not the last game in general. It's the end of Sora, Riku, and Kairi's story. They're going to keep making more but those 3 are done after this game for good.
awesome7818 thats wherr youre wrong. Nomura confirmed after the dark seeker saga sora is still the main protagonist.
Simple and clean represented the nervous beginning of the journey.
My sanctuary was the realization of the depth of life and its battles and the people who made it worth it.
Dont think twice is the final look back at every moment, every smile.. Every sky shared and the sorrow to see it end....
I feel like this game will finally close the door on a chapter of my life...
It’s been 15 years since I first played Kh and this is exactly how this song made me feel.
brian williams yeah a group of me and a few of the biggest kh fans all thought the same. That these themes are telling a story.
yep the end of our childhood after this game I'm done with video games I have a child and there's a saying 'All good things must come to an end" I'll show her the game one day and maybe she will be just as passionate as her father.
I agree with you man...my childhood wouldint be half as amazing without my sister showing me kingdom hearts.
Will there be another Kingdom Hearts game after 3 ?
i can feel the money flying out of my pocket already
"Kingdom of theives" Square enix becoming self aware
Why do I hear jontron references everywhere
1. Riku is truly fabulous.
2. This song will break me.
3. I'm dead.
Send salt ice cream to heaven plz.
kokichi eats homework NO! YOU CAN'T DIE WHEN THE PROMISE DAY IS NEAR!
NOPE, NO DEATHS UNTIL YOU PLAY THIS GAME AT LEAST 300+ TIMES AND EVERY SEQUEL AFTER
Sure as long as you’re not sitting on a clock tower.
That's not Riku... Noctis just bleached his hair. 😂😂😂
The lyrics really make me feel
How did I live
In a kingdom of thieves
And people who say
Things they don't really mean, really mean
You're only everything I ever dreamed
Ever dreamed of, ever dreamed of
You must be kidding me, did you really think
I could say no
[Chorus]
I want you for a lifetime
So if you’re gonna think twice, baby
I don’t wanna know, baby
I don’t wanna know
Everything is just right
But if you’re gonna think twice, baby
I don’t wanna know, baby
I don’t wanna know
Damn this song straight up sounds like the end of a saga. Infinity out of ten will know the lyrics by then.
Okay lyrics down.
Gat dangit.
Alexis Renee' yep! Just like knowing the lyrics to “simple and clean” and “sanctuary” by heart.
its certainly fitting that the song for the conclusion of the current saga...well... sounds like one^^
YEP 😭
I really like how this song sounds. It suits "the end of xehanort saga". Simple and Clean and Sanctuary felt like it tell us about"the start of the adventure and overcoming any obstacles" so they are more upbeat and "you can do it !" Vibe. While Don't Think Twice tells us to "it's all over now, everything you've done is enough and you've done really well, now you should rest and watch the sunset under a paopu tree". It provides us with a simple and clean tune and a tranquil sanctuary.
Elditya Richard Exactly what I felt
I think so too.
I am Japanese, so i also listend Japanese ver, and know Japanese lyrics.
I feel how you feel.
it's just a few seconds song but every single time i hear it is very satisfying
I think this song would work much better as the ending/credits scene because of the reasons you stated. But it's not the end yet when you start the game. I think the intro song should be something more intense, like DDD's intro, to build up to the climax which the entirety of the series has been leading up to.
Coozing yeah it would be perfect as the ending song. Maybe they'll make a more upbeat version for the intro
Dear Disney and Square enix, I want to play this game before I die.
you wont even know you've played it when you are dead.
I want to play it after I die.
we all do
Dear Disney and Square enix, when i complete this game i can die.

That moment when you realize that you were waiting for KH3 since 2008, before you were a kid going to school, now you're a adult paying the bills, weird
Jean Magno *2013
Main line KH dude, when i finished KH2, i was ready for KH3, and then came re:coded, remixes and Dream Drop Distance, but i was waiting for KH3 since the end of KH2
Jean Magno there’s a difference between wanting and waiting mate. You’ve been wanting KH3 ever since you beat kh2 but they were never making it at that time until 2013. We’ve been waiting since 2013.
No, we are waiting since 2008.
that's because we are in the realm of darkness
I love this what the hell
Haedox not as much as Garfield kart
didn't know you were into kh Haedy :O
And the guy I binged-watched his content on while doing my homework makes his presence.
Riku replica confirmed alive
Oh hi Haedox
Damn it's real nice to see ma boi Riku at peace with himself... You a master now, bruh.
ImSofaKingGood Yes, but that means we'll also have to wait to see Master Rikus new Keyblade
you boi killed his keyblade
It's been revealed y'all happy?
ChrisAkutoTM its a car key right?
I think Riku’s going to die for sure
We all grew so old together. Waited a a long while for this.
Feelsrightman
Sweet Daddy time flies so fast when you have alot going on.
Utada Hikarus voice makes you feel a certain way doesn't it?..
- Vee - Yeah, a way to the dawn **Get it**
Makes me feel simple and clean
Makes you feel like you’ve found a sanctuary huh?
Simple and clean nuff Said
Art Sedation i didnt even have to think twice about that.
This is SO beautiful. It is a lot more different style than the opening songs! It makes me wonder if this is the credit song at the end instead.
Alternatively, they'll remix it for the intro like they did for Simple And Clean.
Either way, I can't wait for for what the intro cutscene will look like!
I kinda hope this is the intro version. Make it sad and happy as fuck with this song on the amazing cgi telling the story god oh im so exctied
Icecl Keyheart this song fits perfectly for the ending. Imagine after the big battle is finished but not everyone survived. Now that would fit perfectly
I wanna see if i can play this in my piano😇😍
Deez Nutz true that. But i also have no issues with this being the intro version either
They Noctis the shit out of Rikku
Sordatos well Noctis and Riku do share similar themes
Yep, lol. Classic Nomura. The hair and outfit is really inspired from Noctis. Nomura really likes that design he made.
I see him more of a Sasuke. Both got dat edginess down.
Häh? That's what his hair reminded me of
Sordatos lol didnt you guys see the iron giant heartless?
1st Time: didn't like it
2nd time: let me listen to it again
3rd time: read comment about the song tying in all the games including the critical "birth by sleep "
4th time: listens to song and plays it everyday now even catch myself singing it in my head and few times throughout the day
Thank you Utada Hikaru and Kingdom Hearts as well as the awesome fandom it has birthed
Literally me every time I try anything new XD I always hate it or dislike it at first, then slowly it grows on me, then I love it!
At first I dislike it for being different after 7 games and then I gotten to like it
I'm not crying, just busy cutting onions
Neothetruth damn these ninja cutting onions...
Nah, I’m crying, fuck your masculinity, this is new Utada.
w/e sheesh, relax
Moooore onions!!!
VoiceofDarkness bring them on! X,,,,D
That's it! 2018 is the greatest year in the 21st century.
2008 was a great year for me. 2013 As well and 2018 will be.
2008 and 2010 were the greatest year,2018 will be the best for this generation
Anymous 1 I Say 2013 because it was the year KH3 got officially announced. 2008 is when I first played KH2.
IM CRYYYYIIING
I CANT STOP!!!! 13 YEARS I HAVE WAITED TO HEAR THIS SONG AND I LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART. HA
I don't think this video has gone into the chorus yet, yet it's so beautiful..
*Hugs*
Strengthesthetics boy shut yo sensitive ass up
Strengthesthetics never mind i just cried too...
I could really imagine this song being used at a really emotional scene in the game, I really hope so that they include it into a scene in the game.
Runrocks 26 maybe during the final battle
Well we do have a trailer now with an emotional scene while this song is played and I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OF THIS
... Who am I kidding? I'm hyped af and I need more
Well it was used in a really emotional scene for me. Still was a great ending but the shock at the very last moment
this comment aged well😭😭
Riku looks AWESOMEEE!!
I think the new song will have to grow on me a little first though! Still hyped!! :D
He went shopping with Noct.
hahah right??
Yeah its gonna take me a minute to dig it. After the Simple and Clean anniv. remix I think I was just expecting something a bit more hyped. I have a feeling that watching it with the opening will make me appreciate it more haha
Y r u still rocking scene hair in 2018
Jordan? What are you doing here? GET BACK TO MAKING COOL VIDEOS N'SHIT.
WHEN I HEARD UTADA'S VOICE I LITERALLY CRIED
Utada Hikaru didn't think twice about making a KH3 theme. It was a simple and clean decision for her to return to her studio which is basically her sanctuary.
Taiphoon Ha Awesome! 🤣
Watch out, there could be a Wave of Darkness who's Oath is to create more comments like this one.
Because she made and Oath to tetsuya and making Music is her passion.
Michael Allen luckily there's a ray of hope
Stop. Right now.
This song gives me that "This is the end" type feeling.
Can’t. Stop. Replaying.
A fitting tone for the ending of the Xehanort saga. Almost sad-ish, like it's all come down to this.
Ya, its hard to think that is only one arc in the kingdom hearts series to come
Nicole Beardsley Personally Im not happy with this whole "Xehanort Saga" stuff. We have been fighting the same antagonist for 16 years. This should be where KH ends because who the hell can follow Xehanort? Id rather the series end now than be milked for eternity.
Patchnose I understand, even i get tired of seeing Xehanort. I agree with fact its better if KH just ends.
But I am kind of curious to see how the series goes on from here on out. But if its more of the same, then they should stop before they ruin it.
Nicole Beardsley You misunderstand friend. I love Xehanort and its not that Im sick of him or the characters. Im just saying for the sake of theming and all that if you take down the sole cause of all problems in this world amd have been fighting him for 16 real world years, you cant just say "Ok guys who is our next big bad?" How do you follow a villain as great as Xehanort without in term making him an underling of a bigger bad which is awful or making the new big bad more dangerous which is disrepsectful to what has come before. I feel like thematically it should just end cause its the perfect time to do so.
Patchnose ah k, I see my bad :)
Riku lucis caelum
Savier Gaming pretty friggin much
Anderson Campbell Fact lol
Guess we know what really happened to Noctis at the end of FF15
Broliy 😂😂
Mickey: That's it! I've come up with a new recipe!
Wow looks like Riku and Micky are gonna bring aqua back all we need now is Terra and ventus
zora The Hedgehog you weren't paying attention? riku left that keyblade for terra at the end. ansem/xehanort and xemnas desperately wanted to reclaim their hearts from kingdom hearts in the first 2 games. it was terra trying to get his heart back the whole time. odds are that xemnas will become something of an ally in this game.
its been a long time for me since playing the first two games.
can u sum up what was going on with everyone's agenda (riku, xemnas, ansem, terra, etc)?
you seem to know it really well
Umm no, also roxas and xion
How is that? It looks that Sora will bring Aqua back like it was meant to be.
ᅚᅚ ᅚᅚᅚᅚ let's see...... for starters riku has an affinity with terra similar to soras affinity to ventus. possibly because terra held a keyblade inheritance ceremony with riku. it's why riku was able to wield the keyblade. at the end of birth by sleep xehanort turns terra over to the darkness. xehanort posses terra with his heart. after becoming a heartless though, that possession was probably over. (no heart, no possesion) so both xemnas and his heartless are freed from this shackled and probably returned to a semi complete version of terra. they both then go on to separately decide a way to access kingdom hearts in order to retrieve their original heart, terras.
considering xehanorts master plan, this is highly unusual. it brought unneeded attention to the abilities of sora's keyblade and the organization as a whole. it's a kind of tiny spark of terra that was consistently trying to rebel against xehanort. following that logic, xemnas will at some point become an ally in kh3, much like axel/lea in kh2 and dream drop distanve.
Riku look like Noctis with white hair with this haircut and outfit
Yoooo now that you mentioned it
An it's not a bad thing c;
A better Noct...?
Haha, glad I'm not the only one who got Noctis vibes from Riku!
Hafiz Arifin Hahaha, go away with that.
It's good to have you back, Utada :')
She’s so awesome and sounds like a goddess to me
KH3 is only everything I've ever dreamed...ever dreamed of.
I'm S H O O K by this song
The wait was worth it
Dopy same
Hella shook
Given every song so far had a pretty deep connection to a major plot point in the game...same.
Honestly love this song, feels like it's gonna be perfect for this game. A bookend of sorts to an amazing saga :)
Ending is probably a sad one, perfect with this song then!
Yeah the Kingdom hearts story isn't over it's just the end of Xehanort, but there will be more games after this.
Lyrics:
(glorious harmonizing)
How did I live in a Kingdom of Thieves?
And people who say things they don't really mean?/really mean
You're only everything I ever dreamed/ever dreams of/ever dreamed of
You must be kidding me, did you really think I could say no?
I want you for a lifetime
So if you're gunna think twice, baby, I don't wanna know/baby, I don't wanna know
Everything is just fine
But if you're gunna think twice baby/I don't wanna know baby/I don't wanna know......
Josh O. There has to be a hidden message in there
Josh O. i think one line is wrong but great work.
THIS SONG IS LITERALLY WHAT EVERYONE FEELS ABOUT THIS GAME
ALL OF THE WAITING
ALL OF THE HOPING
TheUltrasora same, I think it's "you must be kidding me" instead of getting me, but I dunno.
Indeed. I think its a response/sequel to 'Simple and Clean'. Especially with the "did you REALLY think I could say no?" lyric. In S&C, she sings "it's enough when I say no". I think its connected lyrically at least.
Plus the dreaming part and DDD could be connected?
This new song truly had me in tears . especially the chorus. So much emotion wrapped up in it you can tell . A perfect fit I wouldn’t have it any other way. Perfect song for an ending
Gianna S in tears? Da hell
The crazy thing is that that might not actually be the chorus but the pre chorus. It seems like she's still building it up and they just fade the song before going too far.
You were dumped recently, we get it.
Yeah! Totally. When you have been with this series since you were 7 and it held your hand through dark times of course? Any more questions ?
If I were you I’d keep my inner fantasies to my self, love.
I'm already crying.
Unfortunately my twin brother past away last year before seeing this game releases. I remember watching the original trailer for kingdom hearts on G4TV. Being both Disney and Final Fantasy fans we couldn’t believe or understand what we seeing but hearing
Kingdom hearts Orchestra over the trailer had us in tears for this beautiful game and fans sense then. I was 16 then I am 27 now 😿... only real fans understand that first opening cutscene.
Miss my bro..
Devon Hill He's there with you. He misses you too. Don't worry, it's ok to cry. Just make sure to try to be happy. I know he's gone, and that's harder than anybody could possibly understand, but you'll just have to do enough living for the both of you.
Thank you for sharing your story; I did something bad to myself a long time ago. I wanted to leave, but I asked for help and felt better. I'm sure my experience doesn't compare to yours, but thank you for sharing. Hope you and your brother in the sky enjoy Kingdom Hearts 3.
I'm so sorry bro
Kingdom hearts was always a big part of my connection with my brother, as little kids we watched my dad play through the first game, and since then I'd been the piece of media we've bonded over most. My condolences for your brother, I can only imagine how you feel. Something about Kingdom Hearts helps connect me to the people I love most, and seeing you share your story in the comments is one of the most powerful things I've seen in a TH-cam comments section.
Thank you.
R.I.P Way to dawn
A Potato Riku might have to find the dark counterpart now.
Riku looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good
Vividspirit .Thats what I thought too!
He looks a little like noctis.
OMG! I hated Riku's hair in DDD and wished for KH2 Riku. Now, I WANT THIS RIKU!
But he is getting rid of Soul Eater (the actual name of his keyblade) I was shocked by that
+blackdemonknight His Keyblade is called Way to Dawn, not Soul Eater, this is revealed in both KH2 & DDD.
“And people who say things they don’t really mean...”
IN TEARS.
ALSO I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR 3’s VERSION OF DEARLY BELOVED.
"you must be kidding me did you really think, I could say no?"~ Everytime I hear this part I like to think she is singing about them asking her to do a new song for KH3... I feel like this song is her personal send off and it's so touching ;~;
Cloudian~ aww that makes me love the song more
Cloudian~ for me, it takes me back to "simple and clean" when she says "when we are older you'll understand what I meant when I said no, I dont think life is quite that simple" it's like this song is connected to that somehow. We've come a long way from KH1. It's like this song is a full confession to love compared to how stand off-ish the message in "simple and clean" was.
kuraian2 She finally met his father
I just can’t wait to see the game intro with this where we fall in every direction imaginable again.
Really the tone and mood of the end of a saga...
People who hate on this song for not "fitting kingdom hearts" don't understand the message or the gravity of what this main theme means for the KH series as a whole.
Tommy Wiseau
I know right!
Tommy Wiseau no that's not it, we understand. We're mad because it means the adventure is over after this.
It's not the end of kingdom hearts itself tho only the end of the Xehanort saga
Well, I didn't quite understand it but still find it pretty unfit. Don't get me wrong, I loved Sanctuary and Passion to the fullest but this song.. It's quite not what I would love to hear.
Let's see how the Dearly beloved is going to be. More excited for that one anyway.
Well look at it this way, this is literally just a sample of the entire song, we have no idea how the full song is going to play out.
A moment of silence for all the people that won't get a chance to play this game. Rest in piece.
Onyx VII7 Rest in peace. ✌️
RIP Me (I played every KH games except for the latest gen consoles and 3DS)
This isn't even the full goddamn song, and somehow people are complaining. This shit is beautiful, and the lyrics serve as a fantastic love letter to the saga ending.
Ian Priizer I feel like they’re gonna make a new series but with Riku as the main character
Ian Priizer Would you kindly not use God's Name in vain? It's sinful and offensive. Thank you.
Maybe, he isn't catholic? Just some food for thought.
song is crap get over it
A Mariahxo Not happening
Okay, but how the fuck do characters keep casually visiting the realm of darkness but aqua has been stuck there for a decade
It’s also been stated that actually leaving the realm of darkness is impossible to do without outside help as well. Getting in isn’t impossible just hard
Maybe this is why they are there, to save aqua. Remember 0.2 was basically a story from yensid
Kh logic
Ikr, also I'm kinda hoping that when they find aqua, she has genuinely gone crazy, that would be kind of cool
It's like a door
Go in
Go out
Go in
And out
January 29 2019. See you then. 😎
be sure not to die before then.. seems easy enough..
Honestly though, it’s funny that they thought they could have this ready this year.
kirara2516 just 5 more months
Jvhmal_ x yassss! 😁 the hype is building. 😎
1/29 that's my birthday
THIS ISNT THE FULL SOUNDTRACK AND I HAVE THIS ON REPEAT!!!!!
Me too
SETHINTEXXAS same. For four days now.
Mobile Junky Lol, same.
Okay I'm a little surprised that there's some dislike to this song. Honestly I love this song and it fits so perfectly to some closure to this series. I think Utada outdone herself as always.
I think some were just expecting something with a more grand scale type feel to it since Sanctuary was such a heavy hitter of a song both its normal and it's after the battle versions. I admit feeling a bit the same just can't feel the 'oomph' that the previous two songs had.
I think a lot of people were expecting a faster more upbeat song, I personally also thinks this fits extremely well with a saga ending. It feels like the song is expressing that idea that everything is coming to an end and the characters have come to mature.
I just feel like Sanctuary was better, not me being picky. you can't act like it isn't better cause you respect the artist
You're clearly blind by your love for her music, Nowhere did I state that they should have kept the original song from Kingdom Hearts 2, nor did I say change was bad, I just expressed my opinion just like you expressed yours "L" so lay off.
People want a bop and can't imagine a ballad being worthy of this game. This song is perfect.
This is clearly the after the battle version I wanna hear the up beat version.
Theo Fox ooooh.... good point!
How else would a keyblade break?
Exactly what I thought. If this is the actual opening tho, lowkey disappointed but ill get over it lol
Animation Honey LOL me too.
Nah, if you listen to more Utada songs, her songs get more intense as it goes on like Sakura Nagashi. It was starting to pick up but they faded it out, gotta wait for the full version
I feel like the reason his old keyblade broke is because he’s grown as a person in the sense that he left his darkness behind when he plunged himself into it to save Sora.
Art Sedation But the weird thing is, a Keyblade typically grows alongside it's weilder. Any significant change to the welder's heart is reflected in the shape of the Keyblade, like with Stormfall to Rainfell, and Earthshaker to Ends of the Earth.
wonderful commentary. i love that you pointed out evidence of the character's progression within the gameplay.
Steven Higgins Not at all true, otherwise Soras fucking bipolar. None of the games imply the keyblades shape has anything to do with the wielder, and what you say would directly contradict X Backcover, 0.2, Birth By Sleep, II, 358/2 Days and the game mechanics of every game in the series.
The initial shape when first chosen by a keyblade is based on the wielder. Any changes is created by changing the attached chain.
Rainbow Dashtruction I'm not saying that how it is for all keyblades, just that the default for can evolve with the weilder. In the cases if Terra and Aqua, their their final Keyblades are clearly evolved forms of their initial Keyblades. That's why those are their "default" forms in KH2 FM. You can basically consider it the same thing as in Ux, when you upgrade and Keychain and it changes shape.
Steven Higgins The BBS final keyblades purely exist so you clash less with the original trailer of BBS and with the final fight in general across all three character playthroughs.
There is also no logic with the keyblade changing anyway. None of the games in the series make sense as to how you obtain a new blade, outside a small description in 1 stating its the chain that does it.
My point on it making no sense is that when Luxu, Mickey, Sora, Roxas, or Aqua take someone elses keyblade, it stays exactly the same.
No ones blades ever change either when they have a major mental shift outside in BBS.
And Ive never played the X games, so I dont know their mechanics.
Fans: KH3 will never have a song to match Simple and Clean or Sanctuary .
Utada Hikaru: Hold my beer...
10tailedbijuu that's my point, but then again those two songs are massive hits, it ain't easy doing that once, even harder to do it twice, but a third time is quite incredible. Me though, never doubted her for a second
10tailedbijuu Jesus man, try writing a good song yourself and then say it's easy.
CreamyIceCreamBoi I can't tell if you're trolling me or just an idiot who's misinterpreting everything I say. Either way, cheers mate
??? You're the one who's misinterpreting, evee pfp guy isnt talking to you
I can't believe you're so bitter oh yea you're right, my bad, I mean you're still kind of an ass who also took a joke post seriously, but my bad
I see it as him ending a portion of his life. The blade I feel reminds him of when he gave into the darkness. It's not literal but more of him growing. His other self is his past self. He has no need for it anymore.
I think I get both sides of the discussion now.
-Yes the tempo of the beat is very rare in mainstream music (which is what most people listen to)
- The song is really GREAT, actually. And even though it is, obviously, not cemented in our memories, it fits amazingly with the overall tone.
I'd say: give it a second or third listen to get a feel of the rhythm. It becomes easier to follow and it's really beautiful.
Kokaioh99 I agree with this 100% wasn't into this at first but then warmed up to it now I think it's a great fit. Wasn't what I was expecting but I love it now
The song really makes you feel like this is the end of the journey and the tone fits well as a climactic finale.
10/10 taking a week off of work to play this religiously when it finally comes out
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL I’M ACTUALLY CRYING-
CrazyTurtle Same here ...
Same :( I can’t stop crying...finally...KH3 is real....finally...
I KNOW ME TOO UGH
I looped this song...
And I've already listened to it about ten times...
kokichi eats homework OMG SAME
kokichi eats homework. me too. cant play ddd too focused on this song.
riku in his Noctis phase
star dust Riku final fantasy transformation complete
I don't care what people say, I like it. Yeah, it's really simple, but it's also clean aswell.
Vegetable Stew
I bet you can say it's your *sanctuary* 😏
what? no? i should stop?, ok😂
Nicole dear haha good one👍👍
Nicole dear when you want to make a pun DON'T THINK TWICE!
Very clever good sir, very clever
My *DEARLY BELOVED*
No matter what the mood of the new song is, whether it's somber and slow or has a bumping beat, people are going to complain that the first two songs are better. Nostalgia works like that.
CreamyIceCreamBoi Tbh, I think thia is on par if not better. I at least think this is better than simple and clean even with the nostalgia.
CreamyIceCreamBoi That's true but I prefere the first two songs as well ^^ Simply because the new soundtrack isn't as atmospheric as the other ones.
the other 2 songs captured me in excitement this one did not.
noestoyfacil I agree that the other two have an excitement factor, but if you consider that this game is likely to be a finale to the stuff with Xehanort , I think this fits the mood perfectly.
keep in mind that one was thoroughly remixed and the other was accompanied by an actual cinematic opening. This could get a remixing and be stunning; I hope. But for a sampling I am very happy.
GIVE ME THE FULL VERSION ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lyrics:
How did I live,
In a Kingdom of thieves,
And people who say,
Things they don't (really mean)×2,
You're only everything I ever dreamed,
(Ever dreamed of)×2,
You must be kidding me did you really think,
I could say no
I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice baby,
I don't wanna wanna know baby I don't wanna know,
Everything is just right but if you're gonna think twice baby,
I don't wanna know baby I don't wanna know...
I just.... I am in love with this song!!! The lyrics are swung!!! That is the last thing I would expect! God I love it so much!!!
OMG....Riku has normal size shoes😱
Ali Brennan WTF you're right! o.O
his clothes are mad tight he looks like a girl
Riku had normal looking shoes in KH2 if I remember right. Not sure about his DDD shoes. His KH1 shoes were fairly big (They were still smaller Sora's earthquake shoes lol).
Ali Brennan U N N A C C E P T A B L E
Ali Brennan Also Noctis hairstyle
RIKU WITH THE PLOT TWIST
Ok Riku's new Outfit is totally inspired by Noctis's outfit from FFXV. Classic Nomura, lol
laker249 Riku looks better tho...
Madam Red I love Noctis's design, the all black look in his outfit is sick. But yes Riku is rocking the outfit way better, lol👍
Less of an inspiration since he created both.
No riku doesnt look better. Not with that plaid. Maybe he'll put his hood on somewhere in the game. With the horns. Him and kairi. That would be a plus
wow it didn't even hit me till I read this lol but damn if he doesn't look awesome. I still think kh2 is the best tho. kh2 made me want to play as riku so bad haha
I love Hikaru Utada so much 🙌🏻
Riku with his Noctis swag I dig it lol
I dig the outfit but just a lityle too much chess board going on.
*Riku Lucis Caelum*?
Search up go busters
Jweezy34 right? Same
So anyone notice that all their outfits hint at being the Guardians of light. On Mickey jacket he has two buttons. Riku has five buttons and Sora has six buttons.
devereauxrobxyahoo ya somewhat an interesting theory
Oh shit
Never noticed that
Also they all seem to have the white/grey/black plaid pattern in all of there costumes aswell.
What a find my dude! I just love the KH community
I think i've figured out what the deal with the timing of the piano and the vocal is.
Piano's being played in 4/4, while the vocal and percussion are being played in a swung 3/4. Piano is actually using a different numeric tempo from the vocal, but both tempos have effectively been calculated so that they synchronize with eachother exactly.
tl;dr Utada's a fucking genius, accept no substitutes.
No, every part is being played in three quarters time. The piano is just syncopated. It's nothing especially impressive in terms of theory, and much of her new music is a lot better than this track. Honestly it's rather disappointing and doesn't feel like it fits in KH.
I'm not trying to ruin anything. My not enjoying the song shouldn't affect you. I'm glad you like it, I wish I could feel the same way. It's not that it needs to be complex. I love pop music. My issue with the song is that it doesn't have an interesting, transportive melody that captivates you in the same way that the previous game's themes did. It's a bit ho-hum. I have no problem with the syncopation, I just wish the whole composition and production of the track was more interesting.
ryan davis I think a little bit of reverb added to the piano would have helped to make the song a bit more atmospheric. But that's just my personal opinion. I'm not such a big fan of the new soundtrack as well but I'll wait how it comes across while actually playing it :)
That's not true, the piano is in 3/4 as well.
I'm absolutely in love with this song!! Hikaru Utada's voice is so magical......
Was unsure when I first heard it, but it's really growing on me. Heck, even with that first listen, I teared up. Something about this song just encompasses how I felt when I first booted up Kingdom Hearts. This series really is part of me.
The goosebumps are tickling my body
ew
Mine too I can feel it crossing my skin ahhhh I love this song.
me 2!!!
Goosebumps let’s your body know that you know what to watch
It feels like a bittersweet song. Like a farewell... :-(
Melissa Bryant The last Xehanort Saga, before we move to Union Cross Saga 😁
Actually I feel worry about Riku. Something is gonna happen to him...
KH3 has been confirmed to be the end of the xehanort saga a new saga will come after
KeyBlader Should also be the end of Sora’s story arc too.
Fadli Hermawan dude don't you mark him with death flags lol. riku is one of the hearts of this series
I listen to the song and was like wow it’s so beautiful and did the whole pretend cry bull like “I’m so old, I’m shook” and then the song actually got stuck in my head and I just got reeeeaaalllyyy sad. Bottom line is the song gave me an existential life crisis and now I can’t stop crying. It’s so deep man. So deep.
This song should be put on Spotify !!
Here are the lyrics, in case anyone was wondering.
"How did I live? In a kingdom of thieves? And people who say things they don't really mean....really mean. You're only everything I ever dreamed...ever dreamed of....ever dreamed of. You must be kidding me did you really think....I could say no? I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. I don't want to know. Everything is just right, but if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. I don't want to know."
"relieve me" not really me
Kingdom of Fears here
people who say things, they don't really mean ... really mean ( sounds conflicted about something)
You're only everything I ever dreamed ... ever dreamed of (sounds like someone trying there best to explain something in there head)
You must be kidding me did you really think ... I could say no? (confronting there fear)
I want you for a lifetime so if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby. (informing other person)
Everything is just right, but if you're gonna think twice, baby. I don't want to know, baby, I don't want to know. (Feels everything is good as it is and doesn't want to know if they are going to be rejected.)
In general it feels like the song might be a part 2 for Simple and Clean tbh.
HOLY FUUUUUCK
THE SONG IS AMAZING
AND RIKU. MY BOY
Silv Mere i had to touch myself when Riku cames up. 😢
Denzel Villiers I don't blame you
“coming to consoles 2018”
*still waiting in 2056*
Alfred Johnson if we have to wait that long it better be in like 18K display
That'll look pretty simple and clean, huh?
Sefaross 477 Nice
1-29-2019
Is the rikuplica back!? First the appearing of Marluxia, which means that the rikuplica might be there and now Riku talks about and other himself!? HYPE
Terra BenLuk I really hope so! Rikuplica best boi!
You might as well just say bring back everyone
Looks like every characters will return for the final showdown. I hope Xion will be back t......Wait....Who's Xion and how did I know her na...me......Uhmmm....Who am I talking about??? And why am I crying???
riku replica? i was wondering what he meant, thought he was talking about another person who like him like how terra and riku are a like sharing the power of darkness.
#Xero# NO Sthap! :'( to soon..
In your hand, take this Key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend-no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love.
10tailedbijuu lol no man that was definitely it. *I googled to make sure*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
10tailedbijuu one thing is for sure, he wont be able to dual wield anymore.
Seriously so beautiful! I can't wait to see Terra again
Chris Gomez the keyblade chose sora, he just wont be able to dual wield
Chris Gomez nope the keyblade chose sora because of his strong heart.
Damn... I felt like I was on my couch again playing until the sun came up and pretending to be sick just so I can try to beat sephiroth for the first time after a nearly million tries humming "when you walk away, please don't hear me say please ohhhh baby, oh no." Simple and clean, utada hikaru, the memories. But no, I'm on my lunch break at work 15years after that first release! I was 10! Can't wait!
Nemo lol you been singing the wrong lyric all these years lol its "baby dont go"
I thought about my cousin who passed in 2010. We played KH1 together and beat it, then KH2 came out and he beat it within two weeks(Christmas break). Then I had a shot at it and almost beat it.
I listen to this before going to bed. It's so soothing 😍
I might've listened to this several times already today lol
Full version please!!!
OH MY LORD THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD, THANK YOU UTADA!!
The queen is back!!!
I fell nostalgic of something that's not out
Omg it really happening! I want Kingdom Hearts 3 now!
*"Dead Fantasy"* introduced me to Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive.
Omg. I remember that! So good.

Dean Natuno who?
Anyone else think this is the “After The Battle” version? Seems a bit slow to be used for the opening imo.
CJ Evans it has to be. You can’t go anymore acoustic than this
yeah, there will most likely be a remix AND orchestra version
It’s like an ending song more like
It’s so heart wrenching
Sanctuary was pretty slow too. This will be the opening alright.
the opening usually is a remixed version anyways
I love Kingdom hearts so much 😭😭😭💖💖💖👏👏👏
