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!
