Now, I'm not trying to insult her character. I actually support Kairi, and find her to be a pretty good character. Seriously, though... Why did she get not one, not two, but THREE themes in the first game? Riku and Sora didn't even get themes in the original Kingdom Hearts games, so why did Kairi get three?

 

And here come the obsessive Kairi fans ._.

Would you rather have three different themes for Kairi, or listen to the same flipping theme over and over again?

Kairi themes! Kairi themes everywhere!

I don't really see the problem in her having 3 themes considering Jav's point and dAIAzEr.  It's not something I've sat around and thought about for ages.  They give context to the situation and the emotion you should be feeling.  With Sora, since you play as him, the context is given by the surrounding music for the worlds, people and battles.  Slotting a theme in for the sake of him having a theme when (as you play as him) anywhere you move you get music based on the context of where he is or what's happened.  With Riku in KH1 you pretty much see him in the darker tones since he's going into the darkness, but having a sinister theme for him would make it harder to sympathize with him.  

Well actually it's more than just Kairi being their driving force anymore since they're together again. It's more like everyone they know that are the driving forces of their actions now(based on Sora's most popular line in KH3D "My friends are my power").

Kairi is the ultimate driving force in Kingdom Hearts .

 

That changes in later games, but she still is for the first.

Kairi doesn't need three themes. She needs seven /shot

This may be a bit of a stretch, but if you're asking why Kairi has three variations of her theme, you could also ask: Why does Xemnas have four battle tracks (with one of them being split into three parts to boot)? It's all about context. Jav and Dave explained it much better than I can.

Also, perhaps you could think of them as three variations of the theme of Kairi, as opposed to three different themes.

1 and 2 are basically the same though.

Well...that's Kairi's fault! For being so dang attractive.

And plus we'll just have Yoko make Riku and Sora two more themes.

But then there's going to be a thread about Namine having only one theme....

Well Xemnas is a multi-tier boss and like most RPGs you gotta give the last battles in the game some varied tracks for each phase like the last battle with Sephiroth at the northern crater in FFVII....etc

 

Kairi on the other hand is one character and she isn't a boss battle so this comparison doesn't really relate much to the situation

VERY NESSSESSARARY

 

HATERS GONNA BITHCH

HATERS GONNA BITHCH

When did I ever say I was hating? I said like five times I like Kairi's character...

Yes, yes it is.

Because she was the driving plot, she was the main reason Sora and Riku even did anything at all.
