Me and my bf would always listen to this, and played the game together.. unfortunately he passed this year..this song will always be ours. Rest in peace Ryan♥️1/08/19
+Albert Allen when I finally bought KH for PS3, and heard this for the first time after what felt like a million years, for days overtime this would play I would either tear the fuck up, or burst into Niagra Falls. The soundtrack is beautiful, like the game itself.
Utada does good job singing in English without hearing her accent. I especially love that vibrato her voice has, it's that special thing this song needs.
Growing up i never got into kingdom hearts like my older brothers did. One of them recently died and on top of that i have been going through hell in my head due to feeling love for the first time in my life. In memory of my brother i decided to play the games and now this song hits so different, im in tears
“When we are older you’ll understand it’s enough when I say so and maybe some things are that simple.” I wish I learned this sooner. It really did take until I was older to understand that it really was enough when you said so.
nostalgia use to be classified as a mental illness. it is so powerful it drives some men mad. It can be overwhelming with the right set of circumstances.
yeah she actually HAS talent unlike alot of singers here in the west who either lip sync or they are only popular because they are willing to wear skimpy cloths on TV.
THE FUCK YOU TALKING BOUT!?! this one is the fucking bass boosted remix!! i dont know why EVERYONE Insists this is the original but its NOT! this is a bass boosted remix, thats why it starts off so suddenly!!
I never finished the game back in 2006. I was 10 back in then, but I watched my brother play and finish the game, and KH2 as well. There's something special about this game, it satisfy my desire to be free in a fantasy world. And this song is just so good, the melody fits perfectly with the feel you get in this game.
I heard this years ago. I couldn't ever find a full version since the one I saw was a 30 something seconds animation. I found one once, but it was deleted/blocked, as well was the animation. My years of torture are over
This song makes me cry every single god damn time. Utada Hikaru deserves a prize for this. I have a clear memory of this game as a kid. Her voice is angelic that I cried every time I hear it. If it wasn't for this game I wouldn't be an guitarist today
Even though I never played Kingdom Hearts, I heard the song from a commercial. I looked forever for this song. No luck. But I just stumbled to this. I'm happy now. :D
My daughter had introduced me to this while playing kingdom hearts this song caught my attention i been listening to this woman since then. Her voice is comparable to Wendy moten and Whitney Houston
The first KH game I played was 358/2, which my cousin wanted me to play. I was mildly interested in it for a couple of years, when I found a play through of the first game and Chain of Memories. After that, I bought 2, Birth by Sleep, and eventually Dream Drop Distance. This series has impacted my life a lot, and I'm so glad it did.
I wish i could find the commercial that played this song. I never played the games but the nostalgia from hearing it on TV and liking the song. The nostalgia.
Man. It’s two days before the game stop release for KH3 and I can not explain how much this song is just so poetic for me. The hype is real. I can not wait.
This game molded me into who I am today, it taught me very valuable life lessons, like to appreciate the little things, never give up, and always follow your dreams, this song is absolutely beautiful and I’m thankful I’m able to listen to Utada sing this even 10 years later when I’m all grown up, brings tears to my eyes, the feeeels man the feeeels
Not gonna lie, Hikaru Utada is amazing with hiding her Japanese side in her English language music. Like if you’ve never heard of her before, you’d probably think she’s an American or Canadian. I heard her speak in Japanese and she was pretty fluent but the moment she sang this song, I was like… “Hold up! I thought she was Japanese Japanese! Not Japanese-American!”
Kingdom Hearts holds a special place in my heart. It was my first game series I ever played and this song made me feel like I was never alone. Whenever life brought me down I always think of these songs. And everything is better.❤️🐝
Been listening to this song since 2016. Thanks to this song, I’m now a fan of Utada’s music. So beautiful and iconic. It’s a shame how underrated and unknown she is here in the USA ( despite others knowing her only for Kingdom Hearts ). She’s done more songs before and after Kingdom Hearts.
Everyone hates on shinji but I feel him on a personal level . This movie made and still makes me feel nostalgic and melancholic ,my heart starts beating like crazy when I hear this song ,i'm overcome by this weird sadness that somehow feels right and cozy ,and I love it.
I decided to listen to this version, and I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia. I love Kingdom Hearts, and this song was just so Iconic. Hikaru Utada is an amazing singer
"Lately, you're all I need. You smiled at me and said, "Don't get me wrong, I love you, But does that mean I have to meet your father?" When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple.""
I remember when I saw the commercial for the first KH, I wanted to try it out. Got the game for Christmas, became a big fan ever since. When I go back to play the game, I just cry a river... brings too much nostalgia.
I remember getting this for Christmas in 2002 way way back. Still makes me cry, and I consider myself a big tough guy. Patiently waiting for KH3 well into my adulthood. :D
I love this song and can never decide if I like it better in English or Japanese. As another poster wrote, I woke up with this song in my head and simply had to hear it as quickly as I could get to a computer.
This song will never get old, it's amazing and is apart of the game. The music they chose to represent certain parts of the game absolutely fits, this song is amazing and belongs so well within the theme of the game and etc.
+Derrace Simmons InterDejaVu. The original KH commercial back in the day brought me to UA-cam, too. Never played the game. I keep listening to this from time to time, though.
I love this song! I'm so happy I played Kingdom Hearts and found this song. I cried so much at the end and this song is making those tears come back. This song is just so great.
I think what makes KH such a groundbreaking series to me just isn't the game itself. But the beautiful music that comes with it. Music so powerful it can make me feel nostalgia unlike anything else. Truly a timeless franchise.
The first time I heard this song was back in 2010 when Re:coded came out, I was 7 years old and I didn't understand the song but 9 years later here I am finally realizing what this song means.
It’s one thing that this song is my childhood with kingdom hearts and it’s a whole other thing to realize this is just an amazing song and means a lot to me
I always say it that way in my mind or when I'm signing aloud. 😇 It's just perfect a s made right that way. I'm so glad that someone hears it that way! 😇
just got the kingdom hearts hd 1.5 remix.never played kingdom hearts but I remember in middle school when this came out it was the thing everyone was talking about.time to play this
Me and my bf would always listen to this, and played the game together.. unfortunately he passed this year..this song will always be ours. Rest in peace Ryan♥️1/08/19
My condolences.
😢😭✌
Condolence, must be a cool guy
I’m so sorry :( 💔
Aww that sucks I’m sorry :( 🕊
I feel like this song will never get old
bri gomez Agreed, her music is always good ^-^
+bri gomez It NEVER does.
Exactly
+Justine AZ I agree
+bri gomez Damn right!!
for some reason I always feel like a child when I listen to this, like I wanna sit in a corner and cry
Ikr lol
same here!
true its like the same with me
+Albert Allen Nostalgia, man. Nostalgia.
+Albert Allen when I finally bought KH for PS3, and heard this for the first time after what felt like a million years, for days overtime this would play I would either tear the fuck up, or burst into Niagra Falls. The soundtrack is beautiful, like the game itself.
I remember crying to this song after I beat the game..
Same, it's such a good game. And I can't wait til the 3rd one finally comes out
same
truuu
I only cry when people tell me they are religious.

She's from New York
+AlmostAlive I wonder if Japanese people from America speak Japanese with an English accent?
clayton2nd if you are talking about Americans who speak Japanese as a second language I can say that we definitely do usually have an accent.
Hikaru...Utada is her family name.
She's an American lol

utada hikaru is legendary.
d.onut yes but Hikaru Utada
@@shinobione2575 Ouch. Wanna try again?
Family first in the Orient
So much nostalgia. . . The song literally makes me feel amazing and kinda sad at the same time. It's an odd feeling. But, this song is still amazing❤️
this is one of the ew songs out there that kind of can also make me feel happy.
I feel this. I can't even put into words the emotions this song makes me feel. It's like a happy emptiness?
iEMoT1ONs I know EXACTLY how you feel. I've been feeling it for years!
iEMoT1ONs That's nostalgia for you.
nostalgia use to be classified as a mental illness. it is so powerful it drives some men mad. It can be overwhelming with the right set of circumstances.
Not enough people in the West know who Utada is. It's a shame. She's so damn talented.
They are honorary Aryans for sure
Is this the West or The East from Asia?
Joshua Fagan is she real big in her native country? and what country is that? Sorry ive sadly only heard of her through kingdom hearts
yeah she actually HAS talent unlike alot of singers here in the west who either lip sync or they are only popular because they are willing to wear skimpy cloths on TV.
nobody that hasn't played kingdom hearts has heard of her.
Utada Hikaru Sung this like an angel.
Yes i agree
Michael Charles Definately!
Voice of an angel!
makes my soul cry man
She is a fucking angel!
Finally one that's not the goddamn remix!
THE FUCK YOU TALKING BOUT!?! this one is the fucking bass boosted remix!! i dont know why EVERYONE Insists this is the original but its NOT! this is a bass boosted remix, thats why it starts off so suddenly!!
lol hell yes
+Lynne Chandler original is amazing
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Facts!!!
I jus order kingdom hearts kingdom hearts chain of memories and kingdom hearts 2 😇
Finally, the one that's not the remix! Just simple and clean (get it?)
Dwindo Yudhismara boo
You made me smile on a bad day, thank you stranger !
Just let me....Face My Fears!
funny
You deserve a medal, good sir.
Woke up with this in my head... it's been forever since I last listened to it
yup, same here
Swagilicious init same XD
I remember just letting the home screen of the game play all night long so I could hear the orchestral version of this.
The menu theme is dearly beloved, not simple & clean
So don't listen to 2 different songs at the same time and be half asleep because i totally heard "b*tch i could prove i love you"
When I listen to this or Sanctuary, everything feels clear and pure, like I'm bathed in white light.
Is this a Kingdom Hearts reference?
Sophiee 〈33 This is Kingdom Hearts.
Now if you listen to THE KH3 theme, it'll become clear
The Highbrow Gamer why you gotta make it a white thing
SSJ MArroch OFC EVEN LIGHT IS NOW RACIST!

I've been singing this song forever and I never knew what it was from of the name.
same!!
Internet Obsessed o_0 WHOT?!?!?
lol your would have listened to it 12 times!😂
I heard this years ago. I couldn't ever find a full version since the one I saw was a 30 something seconds animation. I found one once, but it was deleted/blocked, as well was the animation. My years of torture are over
same dude same
How couled y'all not find the full version? There have been many of them on youtube for years
+Joshua Shepard I always used mobile and YT back then wouldn't let you see certain things if you were on mobile. Anything with this song was blocked
+Joshua Shepard I know right, there's also a whole world outside of UA-cam where things actually exist. :p

VoidTraveller XIII the version of 358/2 that I have is the version that is literally a movie. not even joking. smh
I played parts of the game. I remember this from the commercial tho. Great song.
I've never heard of someone playing parts of the game, you either play a great series like that or you don't there's no grey area.
BRONXBOMBER88 same here, I only played parts. Well, not even that..haha I always had to watch my older cousin play. I could never play lol
Well..not everyone have or likes Kingdom Hearts like you do..
*shields self from probable hate*
I wish i could find the commercial that played this song. I never played the games but the nostalgia from hearing it on TV and liking the song. The nostalgia.
telephoneguy08 same here man! Never played the games either, but I remember that commercial!
telephoneguy08
TBH same. I think the game is like Final Fantasy so I think it's a cool game

This the commercial you were looking for?
ua-cam.com/video/8NB83IP_f2s/v-deo.html
Me too!!! Never played the game but I loved the song and I knew the game would be beautiful and tragic in someway.
I love this song, I love the voice of Utada Hikaru and I love Kingdom Hearts
me too
Man. It’s two days before the game stop release for KH3 and I can not explain how much this song is just so poetic for me. The hype is real. I can not wait.
So much
so, what did ya think of kh3?
@@sopix7761 I actually didn't like it sadly

I have no idea how I never noticed that the theme song is basically telling you "yeah the game devs are gonna fuck this story up real good"
and i have no idea how did you noticed that XD
Mr. Truth listen to the reversed version
***** you have the link for that?
Aiman Hafeez just type in simple and clean reverse
Ealonex there's video here on UA-cam

I heard her speak in Japanese and she was pretty fluent but the moment she sang this song, I was like… “Hold up! I thought she was Japanese Japanese! Not Japanese-American!”
Why hide?
This is the STUFF! Still made me cry even though it's the lyrics..
Fairy tail is number one 👆
//SCREAMING
I NEED TO PLAY KINGDOM HEARTS AGAIN
ikr I love the game
+Chesit I understand the feeling! I need to get the game and I am waiting for KH3 to come out! AHHHH! need the game now
+Chesit aaaaaaah same
:) waiting takes forever but now they are working after Final Fantasy 15

Kingdom Hearts holds a special place in my heart. It was my first game series I ever played and this song made me feel like I was never alone. Whenever life brought me down I always think of these songs. And everything is better.❤️🐝
I remember wanting Kingdom Hearts just because I heard this song. Never played the game, but still listen to Utada
Btw just incase you don’t know, her first name is Hikaru, in english writing she would be Hikaru Utada but in Japan it would be Utada Hikaru
Been listening to this song since 2016.
Thanks to this song, I’m now a fan of Utada’s music. So beautiful and iconic. It’s a shame how underrated and unknown she is here in the USA ( despite others knowing her only for Kingdom Hearts ). She’s done more songs before and after Kingdom Hearts.
This song makes me want to dance and makes me super sad at the same time.
This is one of the best songs I've heard in my life.
Suddenly, this song came into my head. Now I'm here... The nostalgia
This song is still great after all these years. The family & I used to play Kingdom Hearts ALL the time. That was the shit growing up!
It’s a masterpiece which is clearly not simple at all, they are so creative
This slower version really gave the first KH ad I ever saw a lot of impact. I never bought a game so fast.
Play this song in my funeral as a tribute to my life in the 2000s.
this song is literally my childhood. I played the Kingdom Hearts games so many times that this song was stuck in my head all the time.
Everyone hates on shinji but I feel him on a personal level . This movie made and still makes me feel nostalgic and melancholic ,my heart starts beating like crazy when I hear this song ,i'm overcome by this weird sadness that somehow feels right and cozy ,and I love it.
Evangelion?
This is from a video game called Kingdom Hearts. I don't know who Shinji is, and I don't think there are any characters in the game named Shinji.
I just realised, I am older now and I understand what she meant she when she says it's enough when she says so, and it really is that simple
I couldn't help it. I had to sing along. About halfway through the song I couldn't hold back my tears. Who else cried while listening to this song?
I decided to listen to this version, and I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia. I love Kingdom Hearts, and this song was just so Iconic. Hikaru Utada is an amazing singer
i used to listen to this song everyday multiple times and i stopped at some point, so fast forward 3 years to now and i am doing it again hRLP.
This may be the most beautiful song that has ever grace my ears
"Lately, you're all I need.
You smiled at me and said,
"Don't get me wrong, I love you,
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said,
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple.""
The definition of life. This song will always remind us.
That our hearts are truly are our guiding key.
Great background
Reminds me of my innocent self as a child, and the world and everyone in it was simple and clean

Best song ever put into a video game ever! Nostalgia overload
So beautiful that I cried listening to this song as a kid

Beautiful song. I am an rnb listener but this is a very well made song and put together.
Tears every fucking times.... for, a game????
Fuck my life....
Oh trust me if you looked up any other game with music like I don't want to say goodbye u can expect waterfalls coming out of your eyes
+Federico D'Antoni its the nostalgia man... Plus the story is sad since roxas is just sora's nobody. And roxas was more badass than sora
Try Dearly Beloved... Kairi singing to Sora (if you belive in that, like me)... Waterfalls of Tears...
+Tommy Moodie true
This song brings me back when I first played the second.I love this song!
OMG how could I have possibly forgotten about this songs existence for so long
Somehow, I was able to listen to this song without knowing what Kindom Hearts was...
the kingdom hearts commercial brought me here, I had to look that up in order to find this sing........its beautiful.
yesssss
+Derrace Simmons InterDejaVu. The original KH commercial back in the day brought me to UA-cam, too. Never played the game. I keep listening to this from time to time, though.
AH I JUST CRIED.
This brings back so many good and bad Childhood Memories!!
I love this song! I'm so happy I played Kingdom Hearts and found this song. I cried so much at the end and this song is making those tears come back. This song is just so great.
Mom: why are you crying so goddamm loud
Me: *blasting this song* Nothing mother!
is this a breakup/rejection song? sounds so depressing which is why I love it.
This might be the greatest theme song for a video game ever. Awesome.
I think what makes KH such a groundbreaking series to me just isn't the game itself. But the beautiful music that comes with it. Music so powerful it can make me feel nostalgia unlike anything else. Truly a timeless franchise.
I love her, she is THE greatest song writer of our time
The first time I heard this song was back in 2010 when Re:coded came out, I was 7 years old and I didn't understand the song but 9 years later here I am finally realizing what this song means.
Her songs always makes me feel refreshed
Man this just gives me the perfect summer vibes
I don't know this song makes me feel some type of way for real also gives me goosebumps love it
For some reason, this song always hits me right in the feels. Sanctuary does the same, just not as much as this one does.
I first heard this song on a kingdom hearts commercial a hundred years ago. I was enchanted. I still like this song.
Still can't listen without thinking of my sisters... I cry everytime. I miss and love you guys, so much.
This is the first time I'm hearing this song, and only because Sora's in Smash Bros and a fanmade Palutena's Guidance had this song.
Pretty sure I have played KH BBS more than 5 times on every character since release and I still go back to it from time to time
why is this song so perfect,like seriously what is this feeling i have when i hear it
It’s one thing that this song is my childhood with kingdom hearts and it’s a whole other thing to realize this is just an amazing song and means a lot to me
This song is so beautiful!!! ❤️
Wonder if inside out would be on the new kingdom hearts
+rebecca esquivel I've heard Hikaru isn't doing kh3. could be false and I hope it is
+rebecca esquivel Absolutely not, no emotion incenciption
+WeiЯdly really wow she's stoping here hmm who do you think is gong to be the next singer
Ikr =^-^=
Thnx 4 the mmrs Utada Hikaru!
Every commercial break when this game came out, had this song blasting at least once per program
God this brings back memories. 8 years later and I'm still listening to this song.
Who's here after Sora got into Smash? ✋🏻
First time listening to this song
I thought a goddess was singing this NO JOKE.
Ikr it's beautiful
This song stuck to me the moment I played kingdom hearts and loved utada since. Ugh miss those simple childhood day.
Amazing words won't get old.
This song is amazing
"Don't You Eat This Pie"
If u don't like this,u obviously don't have a life. this is freaking amazing, and nothing will change that
I had no idea this was Utada! 😳 I'm super excited! 💐💕
Who else hear's "I love you, I love you , I love you " at the end??
I always say it that way in my mind or when I'm signing aloud. 😇 It's just perfect a s made right that way. I'm so glad that someone hears it that way! 😇
her songs speak to my heart and bring tears to my eyes
At the end, when my life flashes before my eyes, this will be the song set to my memories. Calling it now.
And around that time, Kingdom Hearts 4 will be released 😂
To this day it's one of the most heart warming songs
just got the kingdom hearts hd 1.5 remix.never played kingdom hearts but I remember in middle school when this came out it was the thing everyone was talking about.time to play this
