Square Enix have announced that a new Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is to be released. The soundtrack, called the Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Fan Selection -Melodies & Memories-, will be released in Japan on September 19, 2012 for a price of ¥3,500 (approximately US$43.65). Square Enix have also created a page for the soundtrack on their e-STORE.

The track listing of the soundtrack will be decided by fans! In order to vote for what songs you want to appear on the soundtrack, you can visit the soundtrack's official website and select the song there. The voting period is between June 22, 2012 and July 8, 2012. You can actually have a listen to a sample of every single Kingdom Hearts song from the website, so we highly recommend that you check it out and vote!

Update 1: SQEX.INFO have translated Yoko Shimomura's comments regarding the soundtrack, and these comments can be read below.

Hello, this is Yoko Shimomura, I’m in charge of the series’ music.

For always playing the Kingdom Hearts games, and then listening to the soundtracks, thank you so much.

So! To commemorate the 10th anniversary, this project will contain the best tracks of the Kingdom Hearts series. Plus, we’ll be recording the songs chosen by you guys! I’m happy about it, but I’m also super nervous.

Which songs will be chosen? Which songs will unfortunately be chosen? Lol.

To everyone who has played every game up until now, to those who own all the existing soundtracks, and to those who are thinking about buying this soundtrack, now is you chance to recommend which songs you want to hear.

Each and every one of your voices is important to me, this project was implemented with you in mind. I’d be overjoyed if you can find time to participate in the voting.

I’m really, already overfilled with emotions about this.
Thank you everyone, for always supporting me!

Update 2: Amazon.co.jp have created a pre-order page for the soundtrack.

Update 3: The official website for the soundtrack has been updated with the voting results so far. Currently, the following 10 songs are leading. Voting will remain open until July 8.

1. Roxas (Kingdom Hearts II)
2. Hikari/Simple and Clean -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version- (Kingdom Hearts)
3. Musique pour la tristesse de Xion (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days)
4. Vector to the Heavens (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days)
5. The Other Promise (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix)
6. Ventus (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep)

8. Passion/Sanctuary -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version- (Kingdom Hearts II)
9. Fate of the Unknown (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix)
10. The 13th Struggle (Kingdom Hearts II)

Update 4: Yoko Shimomura has Tweeted to announce that the master recording for the 10th anniversary soundtrack is complete. Our translator goldpanner has translated these Tweets, and they can be read below.

Master recording for KH Best Album complete ヽ(´▽｀)ノ Thank you to everyone who voted. Please wait a little before we make the track list public~ I'm all filled up on listening to it (laughs)

I agonised over the track order this time (´Д｀ The silence between tracks, too... Anyway, 'Dearly Beloved' ranked 5th lol it's a tune blessed with so much love, truly (；▽；)

    Glad to hear that they're finally making a soundtrack, but no news on it coming to USA? Is it just me or does it seem to be just a little pricey?

    I know, right? It was pretty hard to narrow it down to just ten songs. Top thirty would have been difficult, but ten?! Hahah!

    I am surprised that the KH1 version of Dearly Beloved is leading o.O There are better versions in KH2, BbS and 3D.... but of course that is only my opinion.

    I love this list! The only other thing I would want is to replace passion orchesta, and put in either Namine, or Riku's theme.

    I like most of the picks (I think), but I would've replaced Ventus with, I dunno, Aqua? And maybe put at least one other epic track from BBS, like Rage Awakened, or something. I don't know if I'd spend $43 on 10 songs anyway, so I'll just secretly hope the originals (as in what I already own) are best. xD

     

    By the way, what about KH3D OST for NA? >:/ The Japanese one is already sold out on Play-Asia. xP

    - Roxas

    - Xion's theme

    - Xion's battle theme

    - The Other Promise

    - The 13th Struggle

     

    See the pattern?

    They're all great songs, but seriously, does everything they choose have to revolve around the same damn people?

    Pick something like Lord of the Castle or L'Oscurità dell'Ignot.
