![]() ![]() ![]() “Access the Grid,” “Digital Domination” by Mr. Either way, I felt the first disc was not off to a good start as there were too many tracks I just want to skip over. Maybe there is some sub-plot about running home to mother. It was just so nonsensical, it came out of nowhere. The track “SOMEDAY -KINGDOM MIX-” also contained vocals, with lyrics still no better than the previous two vocal tracks, and with silly lyrics such as “… go home and kiss your mommy…” actually made me laugh out loud. “CALLING -KINGDOM MIX-” a techno mix, contained lyrics no better than the ones in “TWISTER -KINGDOM MIX-.” Something sounded wrong in this track, as if the vocals were not working in harmony with the bass, often clashing in notes. Shimomura has a firm grasp on how to make music sound good. Shimomura, had a darker fighting tone but managed to be quite enjoyable as well. “Le Sanctuaire” and “La Cloche” also by Ms. ![]() “The World of Dream Drops” and “Sweet Spirits” had in it some beautiful melodies as well, while “Ever After” soloed a melancholy violin. Shimomura, along with “Hand to Hand” and “Dream Eaters.” I especially loved the vocals in “Dream Eaters,” they added a sweet touch to its melody. “Traverse in Trance” brought back the soothing, beautiful composition of Ms. Shimomura composed more than 60% of the album. Three tracks in and I already miss Yoko Shimomura. I liked “TWISTER -KINGDOM MIX-,” I just didn’t like the lyrics. Maybe Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance OST is compensating for not having Utada Hikaru as some previous Kingdom Hearts installments have had. A line from the lyrics “…Crystal, blisters, it’s all over now…” had me question the validity of the poetry being sung. But as the track progressed, I begin to hear English lyrics. Takeharu Ishimoto composed “TWISTER -KINGDOM MIX-,” it started out as a cool pop tune, I really got into it. But then “Storm Diver,” composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito, began with a loud discourse from “Dearly Beloved.” In “Storm Diver,” orchestral samples play in fast rhythm, and I felt the soundtrack changing course. The rhythm was soft, and it’s presented with a ‘magical’ introduction. It’s filled with a piano twinkling in the air accompanied by violins playing in harmony. The first disc starts with “Dearly Beloved,” composed by Yoko Shimomura, which is a soft, beautiful, orchestral piece. So how did Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance OST cope with three composers? Find out after the jump! I was excited by the idea of a collaboration it gives soundtrack multiple approaches to the same idea or the same theme for the game, much like Mass Effect, God of War, or Final Fantasy X have done. Its soundtrack is the first in the Kingdom Hearts series to be a collaboration between composers. The game is actually said to be a prequel to Kingdom Hearts 3 with its gameplay and plot previewing the next installment. Aside from being a game for the Nintendo 3DS, I thought that this game was a continuation of Kingdom Hearts 2 due to its name. You can rest assured that I will be placing my pre-order for the soundtrack once it’s available for ordering at one of my local shops here in Tokyo.Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance has been a highly anticipated game by many Kingdom Hearts enthusiasts such as myself. There has not been any announcement however if this is strictly a physical release, digital release, or if it will be available on streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.Įither way you slice it, I am greatly excited for the release of the soundtrack as Kingdom Hearts III has some of the best music I’ve heard in a game for quite some time. What makes this soundtrack special is that it’s not limited to a Japan-only release as Square Enix has announced that it will be a worldwide release when it releases this Fall. Square Enix is still a little coy as to announcing what songs the soundtrack would contain, but I would be pretty certain that it will contain all of the songs from the initial Kingdom Heart III game as well as it’s fantastic DLC Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind. Bottom line is that it’s still very much on the minds of the fans and players, and Square Enix has finally decided to release the soundtrack to Kingdom Hearts III as announced in their Kingdom Hearts 2020 announcement.Ī number of the songs in the Kingdom Hearts III game were created by none other than the legendary Yoko Shimomura, who we had a chance to sit down with recently and talk about her history in the video game industry as a music producer. May it be the controversial Verum Rex x Final Fantasy Versus XIII resemblance, the possible tie-in with the upcoming mobile Xehanort game Dark Road, or just the convoluted story that has remained with the series since its inception. Even over a year after its release, Kingdom Hearts III is still garnering a massive amount of attention.
