Stephanie, the vocalist for two tracks in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] ("TWISTER -KINGDOM MIX-" and "SOMEDAY -KINGDOM MIX-") has offered her thoughts on the tracks and the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Original Soundtrack. Thanks to Mu-mo Entertainment News, and goldpanner via KHInsider who translated the article, you can read a translation of it below!

Stephanie Contributed 2 Tracks to Soundtrack for Popular Game Kingdom Hearts 3D, Now on Sale

A soundtrack with contributions by bilingual singer Stephanie is now on sale.

This soundtrack is a compilation of many hot-blooded tracks from the latest Kingdom Hearts title, a popular series by Disney and Square Enix.

Kingdom Hearts is a popular RPG series that has shipped over 17 million copies in total worldwide. Yoko Shimomura, the composer responsible for the music for this popular RPG series Kingdom Hearts, also contributed once again. Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito and everyone representing the game orchestra also contributed. And, adding further colour to this mix, Stephanie contributed.

The two tracks that Stephanie contributed to were ‘Twister-Kingdom mix’, Disk-1 Track 3, and ‘Someday-Kingdom mix’, Disk-1 Track 9.

Stephanie herself has already sang many theme songs for games and anime in the past, which is why she naturally stepped in to work on this title too, and would have even if it weren't such amazingly popular series.

Stephanie commented about her work:
“For this title I recorded with composer Mr. Takeharu Ishimoto, which had a great impact on me. Mr. Ishimoto’s musicianship has unique personality, and I think he has the power to bring out something special from the artist working with him on a piece. While recording for this title I was engulfed by the sensation that ‘something’ that had been sleeping deep inside me was flowing out. I was like, wow, I had no idea I had that side to me. During recording, things never came to a halt because of this or that between us, it really felt like a ‘sensitive collaboration’. I have so many memories from this title, and it’s such an honour that tracks I sang are included in a Kingdom Hearts soundtrack. I hope this is an opportunity for people who didn’t know me to discover my work, and I would be so glad for all of you who already knew me to experience a new flavour of me. Everyone make sure to listen, okaaaay ♪！”

We would love for you to by all means purchase it and delve deeper into Stephanie’s charm.
