I love the new song. After all these years of Simple and Clean and My Sanctuary, I think it is a nice change. Oath could be my new favorite KH Intro song.

So far I wasn't feeling the new song but its just a small slice of the pie.

Please is there anyone who can show the trailers with English subs please?

somehow I think this is not the only theme song for the game, more of ending song. For KH3 they should have at least 2 songs.

another theme song for opening, perhaps?

Where's the Japanese version with Chikai (Oath)? Let's not forget that Hikari (Light) and Simple and Clean in KH1 are different songs and Passion and Sanctuary are different songs in KH2.

The General Difference is that Oath is about a Wedding

I prefer more the song Take 5 but this is very strong and beautiful.

Thank you once again, Raxaimus, for informing us about this!

 

Dang, the minute that I heard Utada's new song come into play, I got goosebumps! What I love about this song is that it has a more somber and sad tone compared to Simple And Clean and Sanctuary, and since we're at a point in the series where the stakes are high for Sora and friends, it's more than understandable why the new theme song should represent the dire situation they're in! GAHHH, THE FEELS, THE HYPE!
