March 1, 201510 yr I prefer Simple and Clean to Hikari. I prefer Passion to Sanctuary. I prefer Hikari to Sanctuary. I prefer Passion to Simple and Clean. So basically, Passion > Simple and Clean > Hikari > Sanctuary. To be clear, I love them all.
March 1, 201510 yr If we're only talking about the English versions, then I prefer Sanctuary just because the song actually makes sense with itself...sort of. At least more so than Simple and Clean. The song makes no sense not only with the game, but just in general. Sanctuary doesn't even make that much senseems when compared to the Japanese songs. They actually talk about something that the games focus on. Hikari focuses on light, the entire basis for the series and Passion focuses on time passing by which is a big part of KH2. I don't mind them changing the songs into English for the U.S. release, I just wish they would at least have them make sensemble when in context to the game.
March 1, 201510 yr Both. Sanctuary because of the (original) Days opening. Simple and Clean because it gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me imagine all the previously sad people having happy moments. (Which I hope happens with the reborn Org. members.) Not to mention it sends chills up my spine. It also got better with the 3D opening. Edited March 1, 201510 yr by Rinax
March 1, 201510 yr Passion and Hikari, Passion more so than Hikari. Sanctuary and S&C are good too but eh, their translations are a bit awkward, especially S&C. Edited March 1, 201510 yr by Firaga Sensei
March 1, 201510 yr Simple and Clean, because of how I can easily interpret it as an innocent type of love song... Plus, the ending of KH1 may have also won [and broke] my heart on that matter...
March 1, 201510 yr Both songs are pretty badass, but I prefer Sanctuary. I love the line: "You've shown me, how to feel, that nothing is whole and nothing is broken." That part always sends shivers down my spine! Simple And Clean is amazing as well, but it's been way too overused in the games! Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, but it's been exhausted in most of the games. Heck, Sanctuary has only been in Kingdom Hearts II and 358/2 Days! But yeah, as much as both songs appeal to me, Sanctuary takes the cake.
March 1, 201510 yr Don't make me choose. I do, however, enjoy PASSION more than Sanctuary, I don't know why...
March 1, 201510 yr Simple and Clean. I honestly barely remember Sanctuary. ._. Simple and Clean had more of a KH feel to it for me.
March 1, 201510 yr Passion, but only because of the electric guitar solo in it. "My Heart's a battle groooooooound..."
March 1, 201510 yr Sanctuary, because it actually kinda fits Kingdom Hearts. (Also for some reason, I can't stand Hikari, but I kinda like Passion. Go figure.)
March 1, 201510 yr i love both of the songs equally but i have to go with Sanctuary because of the way its been produced and its instrumentals in it. Its a sweet piece that's very to the heart like Final Distance she also did but for Kingdom Hearts 2 it was so lovely. But i must say Sanctuary is my best Edited March 1, 201510 yr by sora x kairi
Which KH song from Utada Hikaru do you prefer?
