Deadline Interviews Haley Joel Osment about Voicing Sora in Kingdom Hearts

The website Deadline has recently shared an interview they conducted with the English voice of Sora, Haley Joel Osment. This roughly 15-minute interview comprises Haley's personal reflection on the series as a whole and its primary protagonist. It's a rather wholesome watch as Haley expresses his adoration for fans' love of the series, and his desire to voice Sora in the future.
Further, Haley lightly discusses his past with video games and his recollections will undoubtedly ring clearer with older audiences. 
It is also worth noting that today is Haley Joel Osment's birthday, so wish him well!
Give the interview a watch and let us know your thoughts!

After Nomura's video message, five songs were selected from the series' many masterpieces, and were performed live in an arrangement for the 20th anniversary event (via Famitsu) :
Dearly Beloved Sora's Theme Vector to the Heavens Nachtflügel Link to All After the performance, Risa Uchida, the Japanese voice actress of Kairi and Xion started hosting the event as the MC, and Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts series, took the stage. Regarding the live performance, Shimomura said that since this was a commemorative event for the 20th anniversary of the series, she personally took on the challenge of arranging chamber music (jargon for a small ensemble of musicians) for the first time.
"For the songs chosen, I made sure that they were not only popular songs, but also that there was no bias toward any particular work." she stated. One of the main reasons "Nachtflügel"  was chosen was that because it was a newer song that had never been performed live.
Looking back on 20 years of Kingdom Hearts, Yoko said she had many memories of her times with songwriting and concerts. "There are many ideas that I still have in my mind, and I hope to have another concert sometime in the future." she stated.
