![Behind the Scenes - Kingdom Hearts II Voice Actors Interview in 2005 [Rare Footage]](/img/n.gif)
"These are the notes they use to pull DARKNESS out of you-"
He said the thing.
We gottem!
It is funny how those little comments have so much meaning to the theme of the game even without knowing about it. I had the same feeling when he was talking about the first change with something "coming to get you" and i just smiled and thought, "Yeah. The heartless are." .
Yeah and keeping in mind that he doesn't know about what the game is about! Awesome
Submit to darkness. SUBMIT.
14th Xehanort?
5:30 "DARKNESS!" He gets it without even playing the game. This music is so amazing.
Awesome! If you enjoyed Dive Into The Heart, definitely check out Dearly Beloved by Yoko Shimomura. It's the theme song for the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise and one of the most memorable pieces of music in video game history! :)
Personally one of my favorite pieces of all time, I remember leaving KH2 open at the menu on my bedroom TV just to let it play out on repeat
@@CoffeeisBeanSoup Nice! I personally enjoy the Birth by Sleep versions the most. :)
It'd be cool to see a video going over how Dearly Beloved grows over the series.
@Azidal375 yes, the song literally blooms it's beautiful
What iteration though? It’s been remixed for almost every title if not
"Pulls the darkness out of you" is such a great way to describe the music, because it expresses one of the central themes of the game (and on at least some metaphorical level, is what's happening in the scene). The fact that you interpreted this from the music alone, without ever having played the game, demonstrates Yoko's talent.
The lyrics in this song are Italian.
And it really is a killer track, it's been amazing hearing the song (and all the amazing music of the series) evolve over the years from it's original, highly compressed synths on the PS2 to this most recent generation with HD audio recordings of orchestra and choir.
Original Italian lyrics
Destati!
Tendi la mano!
È giunta l'ora,
Destati
Le porte verranno schiuse
Destati, Destati, Destati
Su rimembra tu trepida!
Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!
Destati! Destati!
Forza, tendi la mano!
Destati! Destati!
È giunta l'ora!
E ancora una volta
Apriranno le porte!
Su rimembra tu trepida!
Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!
Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi!?
Tuttavia t'appartiene
Ciò che hai perduto
Diventerà uno solo!
English translation
Awaken!
Hold out your hand!
The time has come,
Awaken
The doors will be parted
Awaken, Awaken, Awaken
Come on, remember, you who tremble!
Come on, wake up! Oh, remember!
Awaken! Awaken!
Come on, hold out your hand!
Awaken! Awaken!
The time has come!
And once again
They will open the doors!
Come on, remember, you who tremble!
Come on, wake up! Oh, remember!
Eh? What? You do not want it!?
Still it belongs to you
What you have lost
Will become one!
This song was fairly forgettable when I first heard it way back when I played Kingdom Hearts 1 on the PS2. When I eventually found that the lyrics weren't gibberish that sound good I looked them up along with the translation. This tune immediately became a favorite and now has a deeper personal meaning. While the Kingdom Hearts series definitely has its feel good Disney and melodrama final fantasy moments, there are subtle things throughout the games that are deep, well thought out, and meaningful. I am grateful for the people who have made tracks like this so those of us who dig deep can find a nugget of true beauty.
I'm italian and didn't notice since i've first played KH1 when i was a kid (I believe this song was in it, too?). Thank you for pointing that out!
doesn't star wars used the same language?
@@ChengHorn9lmao what? This was a classic to me, along with most of the music in KH1 when I played it as a kid in 2002… I was always more music oriented though, so this song felt deep and impactful
It’s Latin, not Italian.
Yoko Shimomura is truly one of the living greats. Another must-listen from her is Somnus, from the game Final Fantasy XV. It’s staggeringly beautiful (and, once again, haunting)
she is a legend hands down top 3 in video games ost.
Great recommendation. Somnus is intense. Yoko Shimomura is one of my top influences for video game composition.
Her whole work on ffxv was fantastic
May your heart be your guiding key.
Yoko Shimomura is amazing! I had the pleasure of sitting behind her and Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy) at an FF concert at Carnegie Hall a few years back. Always love her work...
You should check out the compositions from nobu uematsu (mainly for the final fantasy games) he has lots of great music.
one winged angel for sure
This plays in the tutorial of all places. The softer part of the music is when you are learning some of the controls. A giant heartless, basically a manifestation of darkness, appears as the music swells in intensity. It is funny you mention the darkness of the music because that is a major theme of the game. A lot of Yoko Shimura's tracks have this element of softer music tones and building the intensity as the song goes on. She has this tenancy to use lots of violins and pianos in her music. I do recommend Darkness of the Unknown as one of my favorite tracks from the games. I will put the link here if you are interested in it. ua-cam.com/video/O4JV25709Hs/v-deo.html
For anyone else who wants to here some of her earlier works, just look to Guile's theme.
Loved the reaction. I love the Kingdom Hearts music. If you are curious about the context of the game where this song plays- An iteration of this melody has played in each of the games. Mostly at the start where the main character of the game is in a "realm" of inner reflection or their "heart". It acts as a tutorial for some basic controls of the games and it starts out very serene. As it slowly introduces combat with small enemies the music grows and finally crescendos into a boss battle as you fight a creature of darkness.
Nerd talk tl;dr: You picked up on the exact emotions the composer wants you to feel and it goes hand in hand with the gameplay.
When playing the game, there's essentially a part of the tutorial where you are given a choice between three weapons: A staff, shield or sword. Each is representative of magic or MP, defense or vitality, and damage. It's also present in most Kingdom Hearts games.
6:15 In Poland we call this "gęsia skórka" what means "goose skin" or like you telling "chicken skin" ;)
The BIG one from this series to do for you is the Orchestral version of "Simple and Clean"
Also know as "Hikari", btw in case you want to look it up
@@TheIceman101418 Yea.
Oh, that reminds me of 'One Winged Angel' in Final Fantasy 7. No doubt you'll get requests for that.
Would lose it if he did a cover of the Advent Children version.
I love seeing older musicians listen to game and anime music. It just absolutely warms my heart 🥰
This artist plays a lot with leit motifs, and this theme is often played in dark, brooding and mysterious places. And the more intense part in more "dire, but glimmers of hope" situations. The theme is also hinted at, or referenced in other songs. For instance important boss fights and such. She is a master at enhancing the mood and game experience!
This is an orchestral arrangement of the same titled piece from the first Kingdom Hearts game (2002) and it plays at the beginning of the game when the protagonist actually has a dive into his own heart. The second part of the piece plays when he faces the darkness in his heart, so yeah, it makes sense to be so intense. 😁
Music is very important in this game series.
I would suggest to listen to Dearly Beloved (from Kingdom Hearts 2 in particular) as it's representative of the series (despite its simplicity)
If you loved this and you want to hear Yoko Shimomura go absolutely ham on the piano I recommend checking out Nachtflugel which she composed for the Secret Episode to the ReMIND DLC to Kingdom Hearts 3.
Other noteworthy Kingdom Hearts tracks I think you'd love to check out are Night of Fate, At Dusk I Will Think of You, Treasured Memories, The Other Promise and Vector to the Heavens. I'm always happy to have a reason to revisit good memories and far be it that I wouldn't offer some track recommendations from my favorite video game ost.
It’s less like a coffin being carried in the rain and more like an awakening from the heart. Like if you had a door in your heart you were trying to run to. And during this awakening you had to make choices of what was most important to you. And right as you felt ready. Right as you felt you had every choice just right to open the door, a great obstacle comes before you. And now you have to fight. You need to fight that obstacle. Whether it’s doubt or insecurity or just the darkness you feel lingering inside your heart. And when you finally finish the fight, there’s a moment of recollecting the encounter and understanding your choices.
The Destati arrangements are the first thing you hear as soon as you click “New Game” and playing along to the music you feel that intensity and that anxiety. You get those goosebumps and maybe for a moment you think “wow this is real. This is happening right now.”
When I read this it was just reminding me of my first time playing the beginning of kingdom hearts 1
The carying a coffin part isn't too far off considering how related lore wise sleep, death, and heart dives are.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake has some of the best music I've heard over the last 20 years in video game music.
Ff7 remake is great and other composers have said the tracks are really well produced but what song do you pick? Not all of the songs are fantastic, some are fillers.
You have classical tracks that are amazing like Main Theme of FF7 and then you have amazing heavy metal style tracks like The Airbuster.
Personally I'd like to see his take on the Airbuster track, which imo is the best version of the "Those who fight further" song.
@@liquidicev I think that's a good pick. I think "Midgar, City of Mako" and "Main Theme - Sector 7 Undercity" are both stunners. Obviously "One Winged Angel Rebirth" would be a fun one.
@@secrettravelclub5486 imo Bombing Mission would be the perfect track to see a reaction from. Its so well done in FF7R
I long for the day were video game music is being taken as an example in art school alongside bach and Beethoven (if it isnt allready that is)
I am a beginner music composer. Your channel is the best I can take advantage of, including your explanation of music materials and instruments, detailed and wonderful.
Discovered your channel through this video, and I absolutely love it. Yoko Shimamura is easily my favourite video game composer, and her music is one of the big reasons the Kingdom Hearts franchise is as long lasting as it is. Vector to the Heavens is something I'd highly recommend listening to.
Your expressions. It's like the sound has enveloped you in these videos. You truly love and feel the music, don't you?
Man when I saw you were doing a KH track I thought it was going to be Dearly Beloved. Really enjoyed the vid though!
I love Kingdom Hearts! I've been playing those games for most of my life, and the soundtracks are incredible. Certain tracks instantly make me emotional, and take me back to some happy days.
You absolutely need to look more into Kingdom Hearts music. Might I suggest the Kingdom Hearts 2 version of Dearly Beloved. But also 2 pieces called "Night of Fate" and also "Tensions Rising"
I love the emotion a lot of the pieces provoke especially a lot of the character themes, cause just by listening to the character themes you can hear if its a very light and hopeful character, mélancolie, or a lot of them you can hear and feel tragedy, I grew up on Square Soft/Enix games and the music is always just amazing at bringing out whatever emotion they want you to feel
You should listen "Hearts as One" from Kingdom Hearts 3. It's a combination of 2 character themes "The Other Promise" and "Vector to the Heavens" and other kh3 themes in the background also. Is amazing how they mix everything and it sounds epic.
I noticed that they include Sora’s theme in Hearts as One. It’s the bombastic horn sounds before we go back to The Other Promise.
Idk if you have reacted to Somnus from Final Fantasy XV but it is a beautiful track, most definitely a must listen.
I grew up with Kingdom Hearts. The music means so much to me and I absolutely love the religious theme that much of Yoko’s music gives. I don’t think I’ll ever find something like her ever again in my life.
Just found your channel this morning and I love how much fun you're having with these new anime and video game OSTs. Excited to see what's next!
Thank you for listening to this version of Dive into the heart (3). The first version has almost always been my favorite and is much more haunting. I appreciate your excellent description and correct emphasis of light and darkness as these are the key points of almost all Kingdom Hearts games: Light vs Dark. This game means very much to me brings joy to my heart and often makes me cry. Tears of sadness and tears of joy of course. May your heart be your guiding key! 🗝️🗝️🗝️❤️❤️❤️
I'm still here!
Love to hear that you take the time with your family and grandbabies. We are insatiable for content, so it's important that you take care of you and your family first. Don't worry -- we'll still be here chomping at the bit for your next reaction.
While Kingdom Hearts is arguably an anime in a video game, how about reacting to a video game in an anime? Sword Art Online has an opening song called Crossing Field by LiSa that would make for a great reaction.
Hang ten, and aloha.
Thank you for listening to my suggestion! I'm glad you hear you enjoyed the KH OST, fantastic games and music!
It's cool to see how pumped up you get experiencing these tracks. It takes me back to when I first heard them while playing these games.
If you're looking for videogame OST recommendations then I have to put in the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack composed by the brilliant David Wise. It's even better when you realize he had to find ways to get the entire soundtrack to be only 64kb so that it could fit on the game cartridge!
I can't believe I've never seen this channel before. Darkness of the Unknown and Young Xehanort's Dream Drop boss themes are probably my favorite songs in the series, but each song of the OST is so invocative of emotions and goodebumps
I remember listening to this track when i was 12 and played the first Kingdom Hearts on the Playstation 2. It was like nothing i had heard before, combined with the mysterious opening of the game it left an ominous impression
it's so brilliant that w so many of the cold listens you're hitting the emotional themes right on the head. the context within the video-game universe "dive into the heart" being an actual passage into a manifestation of a person's soul to literally fight and exorcise the darkness within them. so the second phase of the song *is* a battle theme. if you liked this track you should listen to some of the boss-fight themes. the bassoon, oboe and organ arrangements are fantastic.
Feels like my birthday. Geebz has been doing songs from games & anime that I(& others) have been recommending, though I didn't recommend this specific song.
Kingdom Hearts is this mash-up of Disney & Square Enix IPs that just somehow works. There is a total of 10 Kingdom Hearts games with 2 in development, there is 3 additional releases that are repackaged/remastered versions of those 10(ie put multiple games on one disc). To put that in perspective, Halo has 16 games in the Halo universe, though only 8 are considered to be part of the main story line.
All 3 main entries of the kingdom hearts series have an opening done by Hikaru Utada that are J-Pop & EDM/elctro house (3rd one w/ Skrillex).
*Simple & Clean* by Hikaru Utada from Kingdom Hearts 1
*Sanctuary* by Hikaru Utada from Kingdom Hearts 2
*Face My Fears* by Hikaru Utada & Skrillex from Kingdom Hearts 3
Also see:
Dearly Beloved II (from KH2) Note each main entry has a Dearly Beloved song
Love Kingdom Hearts' music. The timing of the music with the cutscenes they play against are always amazing as well. This one plays pretty early on. The more relaxed portion of the track while wandering around the area with it picking up when you actually get into the fight.
Pretty much any Square Enix game has songs that would be worth listening to. "Answers" from Final Fantasy XIV is a big one for me. That song was pretty much the send off for the old version of the game so it could be remade into the game it is now.
I’ve just found your channel accidentally via it just being recommended to me and I cannot wait to watch more of your videos because I’m genuinely enthralled by your insight and breakdown of music. I’m a musician myself and have been for the past decade and am a big fan of analyzing music and I’m excited by some of the music I’ve seen on your channel so I can’t wait. This piece is absolutely incredible and as is the rest of the music from the rest of the series it comes from. I think you used the word poignant at one point and that’s a perfect word to describe it. Thanks so much and much love!
Ahhh this brings me back. One of the first songs that hits you when you play the first KH game. Remember spending a good bit of time choosing carefully throughout the tutorial.
And man I'm sure every fan who ears 6:37 gets goosebumps of nostagia when that trill comes in. Feels likea dream gone nightmare where its time to save your fiends, and the world is somehow at stake. And you can't remember your friends via shrouded memories, but somehow still have that dive to do something haha.
I've discovered your channel recently and I've fallen completely in love. Amazing job, keep it up! (sorry if my english is bad hahaha)
This is a bit late but re: language, if I remember correctly yoko shimomura usually uses latin in her choral arrangements (evident in the titles she uses), in contrast to hiroyuki sawano who used to use a mix of german and english earlier on (but now I *think* he's using more english and japanese), or another composer kajiura yuki, who uses a made up language of mashed up latin, english, spanish, japanese, and some others.
I would honestly love to see you marathon the kingdom hearts OST since yoko shimomura has this fun thing going wherein she incorporates themes between characters who are related to each other, and it's so fun to listen to.
Wow, I am so glad to have found your channel! This is wonderful! Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game series, a big part of that is because of the love & care put into its music. It would not be the same without it, and the OST has deeply affected my life. This song Destati and all its inceptions are indeed powerful, mysterious and dark. You hear this song in the game as you quite literally "dive into your heart," entering your unconscious mind. It's depicted visually as a sacred, mysterious zone surrounded by black void. The music swells as you greet an otherworldly manifestation of your darkness/shadow. I highly recommend its main theme song by Yoko Shimomura, "Dearly Beloved" which is one of the most 'beloved' soundtracks in all of video game history! :)
I’d suggest Hikari from the first kingdom hearts game, great track
My personal recommendation is The Elder Scrolls Online soundtrack, particularly tracks "Moth, Butterfly and Torchbug" or "Yearning for Moonshadow", absolutely beautiful pieces of music
Wonderful! Glad I got this in my recommendations! One of my absolute favorites - the series & the muisc!
great content man. real down to earth and its very cool to see older generations open their minds and ears up to something new. hope you have a wonderful day (:
I love just how often he speaks about dark and darkness. The music pulls so much weight in all of the kingdom hearts games.
So glad that your video popped up on my recommended! I came for Kingdom Hearts music, but stayed for your insightful comments. Subbed!
yep same for me haha
You are like the sweetest human on earth Geebz. Impossible not to enjoy a video of yours, such a positive vibe!
I'm so glad I found you channel! It was such a joy seeing you react and explain this piece. As someone not at all trained in music, it's so fascinating to see the detail you effortlessly pull from a section. I sincerely hope you do at least one more from Kingdom Hearts. It has some of my favorite compositions ever. The KH series is partnered with Disney and Yoko did an incredible job scoring the series to complement a classic Disney feel, while still being completely original. I'd highly recommend:
Hikari (Simple and Clean) orchestral version (KH 1 theme)
Passion (Sanctuary) orchestral version (KH 2 theme - my favorite)
Dearly Beloved - Yoko Shinomura (overall KH theme)
With those first two it would be super cool to see something similar to your Zanarkand video where you watch the versions from the game openings first before the orchestral. I would be amazing to see what you think of the iteration changes.
Hello from France "old composer" :) ! I love your reaction videos! I heard this song for the first time at christmas 2002, I was 12. Yoko Shimomura blew my mind. I never heard another song who define the arrival of darkness as good as this music did.
Try different versions of Dearly Beloved (the one from Melody of Memories is more jazzy, made me cry a lot haha)
love your reactions! found your channel from this, definitely going to check more from you thanks for making this, hope to see you react to more kingdom hearts music, it's truly magnificent. This one specifically was a song I heard when I was only a child back when it first came out, and to hear it become this beautiful transformation.
There's a haunting discussion about this song when they made it, says on the wiki, "The chorus is often used in other pieces, but whenever the chorus was loaded by Square Enix staff, something bad happened, an example being the entire building's electricity getting cut off."
Would love to see you react to "The 13th Struggle". Kingdom heats 2 - Yoko Shimomura
You nail exactly what this track is underscoring in terms of themeing. It plays as you walk through a representation of the main characters heart, learning in a very vague way about the coming threats, choosing the specialities that you want to have and ultimately fighting a representation of the darkness within as a sort of tutorial/story introduction.
Love the vid! Just subscribed!
I'm a huge fan of the series, and I would totally suggest listening to more of the ost, because in my opinion every song is ear candy.
Love to see your reaction and feeling the music
This games soundtrack is what got me started playing the piano :)
You could honestly dedicate an entire channel to KH music and never get sick of it. This franchise is just packed to the brim with insanely good music.
Another couple of tracks from the Kingdom Hearts series worth checking out are Mystic Moon and Critical Drive from the DS game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. They're actually variants of the "exploration" and "fight" themes for the final area of Kingdom Hearts 2 (Playstation 2) called Sacred Moon and Deep Drive respectively, but (for narrative reasons) the DS version hits a little bit harder.
This is crazy because I was just going to see if you reacted to any of the Kingdom Hearts series.
Really interesting to see someone without context for the series listen in and pick up on exactly what the song is trying to communicate in those scenes! The KH series has incredible music throughout thanks to Yoko Shimomura-- I also highly recommend the main theme song Dearly Beloved (There's a new version with each entry in the series and any version is great, but the Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 versions are probably the biggest fan favorites), and Darkness of the Unknown from Kingdom Hearts 2 (my favorite boss fight music in the series).
Yoko Shimomura also composed most of the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XV as well-- Omnis Lacrima is her magnum opus IMO (search "Final Fantasy XV/Versus XIII - Omnis Lacrima (Original Ver.)" for the best arrangement of it!) If you stick with this side of the video game world, lots of other Final Fantasy games have amazing soundtracks, too! Nobuo Uematsu's One Winged Angel has probably already been rec'd by a bunch of people here, but I'm also a big fan of the Ending Credits music from Final Fantasy XIII by Mahashi Hamauzu-- it's beautiful and I don't think it gets enough recognition!
While Yoko Shimomura is the original composer of "Dive into the Heart -Destati-", it is important to acknowledge that this version "Third Inception" was arranged by Natsumi Kameoka without any involvement from Shimomura.
Just great! Thanks! 🙏
He'll yeah my fav game franchise. I'll be your subscriber forever now :)
I was entranced by your perspective of this track as a musician and someone who has not played the game. This track is also in Kingdom Hearts 1 which I played when I was 9 years old--it definitely left a lasting impression on me.
Hey I love your channel and the commentary you give is really interesting. There's like 5000 songs I'd like to see you react to, but I'm aware that you probably get tons of requests already so if I had to choose just one... but I would LOVE to hear your take on Dancing Mad, composed by Nobuo Uematsu for Final Fantasy VI. It is a rather long piece of music, but it is a classic that deserves a listen and is basically a rite of passage for video game music reaction channels at this point. If you won't do it for a video at least please please please, listen to it in your own time, it is well worth it. There is also an amazing version made by the Black Mages, which is Nobuo Uematsu's actual band, which is also incredibly good.
Found this after my suggestion of Kingdom Hearts... The main series games have some of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. Just hearing the music makes me want to play the game.
It's amazing the emotion you can glean just from listening. In the Series typically this music is playing when you're confornting a dark version of yourself, so you're close with your thinking :)
The kingdom hearts games have so amazing music, the introsong to the first game is my favorite
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO "THE OTHER PROMISE" FROM KINGDOM HEARTS 2, IT'S A CLASSIC
This was beautiful. I played Kingdom Hearts awhile ago but I didn't recall this song being as good as it was. My favorite from the series is, " Hollow Bastion" and "Traverse Town".
After several videos last few weeks, the gaming media generations of x, millennial deserved a guy like you, bringing this all together into youtube. I hope you're enjoying your journey into this journey and assimilation of cultures with us....sincerely
Around The World from Microsoft Flight Simulator is a super beautiful one to check out!
Old Composer: "Key change..."
Xehanort: "Have you said χ-blade?!"
Just found your channel and love your reaction and review. And love that you are into Heavy Metal (I will check out your other channel). I suggest Redemption by Gackt, FFVII Crises Core. And Liberi Fatali (Final Fantasy VIII) Both for me are very powerful tracks that get the blood pumping.
Absolutely love this! I would love to see you react to the Master of Master Theme Music from Kingdom Hearts
your face at 8 25 when it went into the chorus🤣🤣 kh means alot to people and the music is one reason
God this song will stay with me forever. My favorite memories as a kid were playing KH1 and KH2.
Thanks for diving into the world of my nerdisms of anime and gaming!
Not sure if you take suggestions from the comments but i think it'd be awesome to see what you think of the theme from Uncharted. Certainly one of my all time favourite video game themes!
Some of the other ones that I love from her are
Vector to the heavens, the other promise, hollow bastion, aqua dark dive, edge of existence and so many more.
I’m pretty sure unbreakable chains is by a different composer but same series and it’s amazing.
Dive into the heart is a fantastic song
Please check out song "Out of Tartarus" from the game HADES, composed by Darren Korb!
As a fan of the series simcr he beginning, I'm happy you found this game's music. Very worth it. I just found you amd I wonder if you've yet to stumbled upon the world Final Fantasy
Thank you 😊 I think you would love this song and I'd love to see you react to it, it's called stickerbush symphony and it's from donkey Kong country 2 ❤️
I always wish this song to play more during the games.
Please do the Attack on Titan Intros, they are absolutely amazing!!!!!
Yoko Shimomura is an amazing composer! She and her team do amazing work. I highly suggest listening to her work for Final Fantasy XV.
Would personally recommend Somnus, Valse di Fantastica, Blues de Chocobo, Apocalypsis Noctis, Omnis Lacrima, Song of the Stars, Ravus Aeterna, and Hellfire.
I know it's a lot, but these are some of my favorite tracks from the game! Honestly, if you decide to give any of them a listen, just pick the one that jumps up at you the most.
I don't really like the later Kingdom Hearts games much but goddamn they still have incredible music. Literally fills me with emotion immediately.
I would love to see you react to any Shoji Meguro pieces if youre enjoying the "anime" type soundtracks. Particulary any songs from the Persona series.
Any official or orchestral incarnation of Destati is truly my favorite piece of music in the world. Have been obsessed with it since age 7 all the way back in 2001 ever since I begged my parents to buy the soundtrack for me. Lol
But yeah, I listen to it at least a few times a month.
The only other song that ties for first place with me is One Winged Angel, (Final Fantasy 7)
Cool reivew, very much enjoyed it. If you want to look at something else from this game series I highly recommend the piece called Hikari from Kingdom Hearts 2. Personally it is my favorite piece in the series and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Also funny part is that deep dive into the heart actually plays in the tutorial, and against the first boss, it especially plays in calm moments though. Which is funny considering how dark it is. lol
"Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away."
I always found it interesting Yoko Shimomura chose to use Italian lyrics instead of Latin for her pieces in Kingdom Hearts. Also, these are actually 2 peices combined into one, the first is "Dive into the Heart - Destati", the second (8:26) is "Fragments of Sorrow". The two go hand-in-hand and are usually combined in this manner.
Forza Finale would be another great KH track, it's three different villain themes fused together for one boss fight.
