What is your favorite piece of music and song from the Kingdom Hearts series? (I saw that people have been calling pieces songs, which would be musically incorrect if referring to a composition of music without words) My favorite piece is Nachtflügel(Yozora boss theme) and my favorite song is Sanctuary.- 5 replies

Netflix have announced an original series called First Love, inspired by Utada Hikaru's debut album "First Love" and her most recent album "Hatsukoi". This announcement is being met with enthusiasm by many Kingdom Hearts fans, who have naturally come to admire Utada Hikaru's other work outside the theme songs (and their many iterations) she has performed for the series. The new scripted series, now in production, is set to launch worldwide in 2022. Utada's "First Love" was released in 1999, setting her up for being one of the most renowned Japanese musicians of her time, and becoming the best-selling album in Japan to date. "Hatsukoi" (which in Japanese means "first love") was released in 2018, setting it almost a decade apart from "First Love". Netflix has drawn inspiration from these albums and has fittingly written the series to be about the first love of a young couple, from their first meeting in the 90's through to today. The series will be directed by Yuri Kanchiku, and will co-star Hikari Mitsushima and Takeru Satoh. Mitsushima will be playing Yae Noguchi, an aspiring flight attendant who was met with a tragic accident, and Satoh will play Harumichi Namiki, an ex-pilot. Utada has written several songs for dramas, anime, films – and of course, Kingdom Hearts – in her career. Her latest album "Hatsukoi" also features Chikai, one of the main theme songs she wrote for Kingdom Hearts III. View full article -

English: breath... should i take a deep...? faith... should i take a leap... taste... what a bittersweet... all my, all my life. let me face, let me face, let me face my fears let me face, let me face, let me face my fears won't be long, won't be long, i'm almost here watch me cry all my tears. Japanese: Hey, exactly how much Hey, can I smile? I want to tell you something Despite all this let me face, let me face, let me face my fears let me face, let me face, let me face my fears I don't need you to say that my map is useless I'll run my own path. An extra line in the Japanese version can be heard on Utada Hikaru's website, where she seems to sing: "Hey, ever since I was born..."
