Later, Teruzane retracted that statement, correcting himself by saying that they're eager to do the opening song for Kingdom Hearts III, but their decision is not yet official. Now, on December 6, 2017, Teruzane was asked once more on Twitter if Hikaru would do Kingdom Hearts III's opening song, and he replied saying that he can't say anything yet, but to be positive and that they won't break your heart.

A heart does need to be in the equation for a Pureblood Heartless to exist. Pureblood Heartless are literally corrupted hearts. When someone succumbs to the darkness/loses their heart, the darkness within their heart comes out and devours it. That's what a Pureblood Heartless is. It's unknown why there are tons of Pureblood Heartless in the Realm of Darkness, but I'd say it's most likely simply because they are attracted to darkness. They are born in the Realm of Light when someone loses their heart and then probably use Corridors of Darkness to teleport to the Realm of Darkness. I have provided sources and proof for all of my claims in a comment I made above.

Pureblood Heartless are not created from masses of darkness. They're created when someone succumbs to the darkness or loses their heart or when another Pureblood Heartless devours someone else's heart. They do release hearts, just not visibly. The only major difference between a Pureblood and and Emblem Heartless is the way they're created. Pureblood Heartless are created when someone naturally succumbs to the darkness or loses their heart, and Emblem Heartless are created when a machine created by Apprentice Xehanort artificially causes a heart to succumb to the darkness. Emblem Heartless devouring someone else's heart creates another Emblem Heartless. But, it's never been confirmed that it will turn into the same Emblem Heartless as the one that devoured it.
