Posted February 16, 201015 yr So, we can't use Simple and Clean or Passion again, that'd suck. SaC has been used in three games, and Passion two. So, what Utada song should be used? I say a remixed version of Be My Last for the intro and the regular for the outro.
February 16, 201015 yr The Jap name for Simple and Clean is Hikari and Passion is the jap version. Well Coded didn't have a utada song as the theme Yoko made it.
February 16, 201015 yr I think if they can't get Utada to come back, they should get the singer who sang the TWEWY theme song. She sings just as beautifully as Utada does in my opinion. I also feel, unless they want to keep the two-utada-song-only theme the have going, that they should probably make a new song, or some epic remix of either of Passion/Sanctuary or Hikari/Simple and Clean. ^^; For those who don't know the TWEWY theme song: Japanese: LIbU-2s1RME English: y0KfQmVXbk4 Fixed the embed. 8D I just think she wouldn't be such a bad replacement singer if they decided it was time to just do a new song in general. ^^; But I love Hikari more than Passion, so I would choose Hikari if it had to be one of those two. .
February 16, 201015 yr none, she doesn't do anything for square enix anymore, so they're most likely gonna use either hikari/passion or they'll have to find another songstress
February 16, 201015 yr Author Since when is Utada not working with SE anymore? If that was the case, why would SaC be in BBS and Sanctuary be in Days?
February 17, 201015 yr @rho i think they continue to use those songs since they have the right to them from her.. /failsatexplainingthings
February 28, 201015 yr In my opinion, the song Beautiful World, since the game features other worlds. I just thought it would be a perfect fit.
March 1, 201015 yr Yes, but Beautiful World is from Evangelion. They will never use it. It is a good song though... I hope they will ask leah again! I saw Lullaby for you but I'd like something like Calling more... g2L_WSu3tDQ But I've always liked more modern music. (Not that Hikky isn't good, but...)
March 3, 201015 yr The first thing that I thought when I read the forum title was "anything but Hikari/Simple and Clean and Passion/Sanctuary." Hmm... I dunno. Maybe, if she ever comes back, she could make a new song...? Okay, I still think that Hikari is a pretty song, so they have the orchestra version on the ending and the original during the credits.
March 4, 201015 yr Author ^ She has plenty of other songs already made.. I believe Simple and Clean and Sanctuary already existed before KH
June 27, 201015 yr (Lol sorry for reviving this) nmUbQPwTkKY Not a Utada song, but it reminds me of one. And somehow I imagine this song playing in the KH 3D intro.
June 27, 201015 yr Since Sora and Kairi are PROBABLY going to fall in love in KHIII, probably this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g70lElHmoOs
July 5, 201015 yr (Lol sorry for reviving this) nmUbQPwTkKY Not a Utada song, but it reminds me of one. And somehow I imagine this song playing in the KH 3D intro. That song is already used in Inuyasha. I doubt they will put it in the future games since it's already used
July 5, 201015 yr Its not fair until when Tytsu Nomura will keep putting the 2 songs Um...what? Don't really understand what you're trying to say. Utada was the only person he wanted to sing for KH. Something about her being a role model and showing that music can transcend language barriers. Since she refused to continue (blame Disney for being cheap), they have to make do with what she had already provided.
July 5, 201015 yr I know they wouldn't put it in a KH game, I just said I could that imagine that being a KH song.
July 5, 201015 yr I think it goes in order, right? I guess it depends on what other games come out first.
July 6, 201015 yr Why must be Utada, why not Yui? She's cool in making sanctuary-like songs, you know, like 'Again' of fma from her, so if Utada doesn't work for SE anymore, she's a really good replacement.
July 6, 201015 yr Alright, for anyone who doesn't know, Utada doesn't work for Square because 1. Money issues 2. It was hard for her to re-record her entire songs and sing them in a language she wasn't familiar with. So we can expect either Simple and Clean or Sanctuary, and since I'm beginning to get sick of SaC, I'm pulling for Sanctuary.

So we can expect either Simple and Clean or Sanctuary, and since I'm beginning to get sick of SaC, I'm pulling for Sanctuary. Disney actually, not Square. And it wasn't that she was unfamiliar with it (being fluent in bother Japanese and English), but the overall process of having to translate and create and entirely new song put too much of a strain on her, and she as an artist couldn't take what she was being asked for. But after reading the interview again, it seems that her dad made the decision to stop working with Disney because of them being cheapskates.
July 31, 201015 yr Well, I actually liked Simple & Clean. I do think they should get some new Utada songs, though. Beautiful World, I think.
So, we can't use Simple and Clean or Passion again, that'd suck.
SaC has been used in three games, and Passion two.
So, what Utada song should be used?
I say a remixed version of Be My Last for the intro and the regular for the outro.
