Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary soundtrack announced

Kingdom Hearts series08 August 2012 by DChiuch

Square Enix have announced that a new Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is to be released. The soundtrack, called the Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Fan Selection -Melodies & Memories-, will be released in Japan on September 19, 2012 for a price of ¥3,500 (approximately US$43.65). Square Enix have also created a page for the soundtrack on their e-STORE.

The track listing of the soundtrack will be decided by fans! In order to vote for what songs you want to appear on the soundtrack, you can visit the soundtrack's official website and select the song there. The voting period is between June 22, 2012 and July 8, 2012. You can actually have a listen to a sample of every single Kingdom Hearts song from the website, so we highly recommend that you check it out and vote!

Update 1: SQEX.INFO have translated Yoko Shimomura's comments regarding the soundtrack, and these comments can be read below.

Hello, this is Yoko Shimomura, I’m in charge of the series’ music.

For always playing the Kingdom Hearts games, and then listening to the soundtracks, thank you so much.

So! To commemorate the 10th anniversary, this project will contain the best tracks of the Kingdom Hearts series. Plus, we’ll be recording the songs chosen by you guys! I’m happy about it, but I’m also super nervous.

Which songs will be chosen? Which songs will unfortunately be chosen? Lol.

To everyone who has played every game up until now, to those who own all the existing soundtracks, and to those who are thinking about buying this soundtrack, now is you chance to recommend which songs you want to hear.

Each and every one of your voices is important to me, this project was implemented with you in mind. I’d be overjoyed if you can find time to participate in the voting.

I’m really, already overfilled with emotions about this.
Thank you everyone, for always supporting me!

Update 2: Amazon.co.jp have created a pre-order page for the soundtrack.

...Maybe I'll wait til someone posts them on YouTube and see if I love them more than the originals first. x3 Even though I love a lot of those, so I'm tempted to...but I'm also broke for the next year. XP Besides, I'm still waiting for that half-baked promise of getting the KH3D soundtrack in NA! Gotta get that first.

Nothing from CoM, coded, or 3D's made it? :lol

Also, speaking of soundtracks, when's that KH3D soundtrack making it over to the US? Someone should remain Square Enix of that...

where are the samples?

KeybladeWielder_, Aug 09 2012 01:47 AM

I am actually so keen for this to come out, fingers crossed it is released everywhere. I don't care if its not actually I'll just get a Japanese version =D
It's gonna be so good.

About half of the songs i voted for made it. I really wanted "Forze del Male" on there...

I would love to have that soundtrack, it'd be my first one too.  Though, I'd probably need to buy it from Amazon or something.

RikuFangirl2008, Aug 08 2012 08:45 AM
