Today marks another day down on Kingdom Hearts III's countdown! Each day until January 25, director Tetsuya Nomura is making an announcement. Today, he announced that the Kingdom Hearts VR Experience's first installment has launched in Japan! For those you have a Japanese PlayStation account and a PSVR, you can download the game to your system now! The announcement was with the newest countdown animated short featuring Toy Story, as well as playing the Toy Box battle theme music! You can view Nomura's tweet and video below.
In what seems to be a countdown to the worldwide release of Kingdom Hearts III, the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter has been featuring brief videos for each world. Yesterday it was Olympus, featuring a new arrangement of the battle track 'Go For It'.
Today, the 10-second video focused on Monstropolis, with a background music that seems to be a track featured in that world. This track sounds similar to another track, apparently the battle track from Monstropolis, featured in the recently published Monsters, Inc. animated short and Monsters, Inc. yo-yo promotional video. It could be part of the same track or a separate track entirely. Watch the footage below!

Kingdom Hearts III is releasing in eight days and the feeling is still unreal! With the game's release coming up close, the Kingdom Hearts III twitter released a short video showcasing the world Mount Olympus. The beginning of the video has a brief moment of new footage, showing Sora jumping onto what looks like a rail of thunder inside a cloud tunnel, which looks similar to flowmotion from Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The music playing throughout the video seems to be a new arrangement of Olympus Coliseum's battle theme, Go For It. See the video below!
A discovery has been made in a tweet from helloneet on Twitter. Helloneet tweeted a video showing himself playing Face My Fears on piano and discovering that it uses the same chords as the original Kingdom Hearts' Dearly Beloved!
