UPDATE 12/22/2016: Utada Teruzane has amended his statement about Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3, stating that they are eager to do it but the decision is not official as of yet.
Utada Teruzane, father and manager of Utada Hikaru, has confirmed that Utada is working on the theme song for KINGDOM HEARTS III on Twitter.
Back in 2013, Utada's father made a similar statement about her working on the theme for KINGDOM HEARTS III, but quickly went back on the statement.
For years fans have wondered if Utada would be making a return to the franchise since in an interview with JETANNY in 2009, Teruzane Utada said they rejected Disney's offer due to them paying little for the work that was being put into each song made for the KINGDOM HEARTS series.
In 2014, KINGDOM HEARTS series director Tetsuya Nomura illustrated a piece of artwork for Utada in commemoration of her cover album, including a message conveying his internal conflict about wanting to see Utada return to music and create a song for a specific "game".
Utada Hikaru and Japanese producer and DJ PUNPEE worked on the Ray of Hope MIX versions of "Hikari" and "Simple & Clean" for KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, releasing January 2017.

sorry inspiration muke i meant to say
Oh, okay. No need to be sorry!
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3's theme song
I think the inspiration for the new song will be hope. Sora will be saving a bunch of people in KH3. Therefore I'm expecting a positive and upbeat theme

But f you want to get a good idea of Utada's current style, go listen to Fantome!
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Do you think we will get a new theme that isn't "Hikari" and "Passion"? Inasmuch as I like those themes, I really want a new theme.

Yes!

Yeah, that's the general idea. They wouldn't need to bring her back if they just wanted to reuse one of the two old themes, lol
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
That's awesome! It just wouldn't be the same without her. And reusing the old songs wether they are remiced or not would be kinda boring for KH3 in my opinion, so this is great news. Really thought that she would never return to do a new KH theme song.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Probably some of the best news I've heard in a while...
I recommend é“ on her new album f anyone wants a taste of awesomeness
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I'm kind of just wondering how Utada will approach the theme(s?). She's said in the past that working on two versions of a song in different languages is pretty difficult creatively.
I'd want to believe that she should just focus on one language, but the reason the English versions existed in the first place was accessibility for a western audience (and Disney fans in general). Disney has been pretty comfortable with non-English songs in their works as of late (i.e. "Sugar Rush" by AKB48 or "We Know The Way" by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Opetaia Foa'i...although that still has English in it...)
Fantôme is a bit special because Utada was working from feelings of loss and love, so she focused on Japanese and French lyrics and had very little English in the album.
I have no doubt she'll be able to make beautiful songs, but I'm just really excited to figure out what her process is this time around xD
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
YEAH! Fucking Awesome!
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Yusss! This is pretty awesome. Good that it's confirmed and we don't have to speculate and live in fear and doupt about this anymore.

Were it up to me, I'd just do the jap one.
I feel like nowadays a japanese intro could be just as well-received as a localized one, aside from the nostalgia factor in this particular issue.
...And I like them more regardless.
But maybe I'm getting old and I just want to avoid another intro war that'll drag on for years.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Wow, excellent news, really hope it's true. It'll be nice to finally have a new tune for KH.

I mean last time he was operating under the false conclusion that KH3 had come out already lol, but this time I don't think this is really anything that can be doubted. It's true as true can be unless he was hacked lol
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I mean I took this statement as a in development statement
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I couldn't accept it otherwise...
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
YES. SO MUCH YES.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Probably going to reveal the theme song at one of the concerts.

My bet is the last one that on the last day of e3
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Y'all shut up because I don't have a strong enough heart for that... ;A; I'd probably cry if Utada just happened to appear at the E3 2017 LA show and performed.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Obviously at the Sony E3 conference they'll have Utada sing live while a new 10 minute KH3 trailer plays, showing off every single world and the entire ending.

Not that everyone doesn't usually figures out the games' conclusions by the time they release, but Nomura also doesn't give a shit about spoilers and has made 6~10 minute long trailers covering everything from the intro to the secret ending.
Basically don't expect him to play nice and only show stuff from the first chunk of the game, otherwise you're going to be disappointed.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Nomura set up the Xehanort reveal to be a big part of KH II's plot, then the first Ansem's Report you get literally tells you that the KH1 Reports were written by a different person.
I agree: it's not he actively tries to spoil, but if Nomura wants to do something a certain way he'll give very few damns about it.

Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
well BBs did not have a lot of worlds to show so they had to show the graveyard
BBS had a lot of worlds. He spoiled KH3D too. He technically spoiled 2.8 with showing Sora and who knows what else with 0.2. Nomura spoils games in his trailers lol.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I was really hoping she would!!! But she's going to have a hard time topping passions/my sanctuary though
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
This is such great news. If it's anything like her new music, we're in for such a treat.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I'm glad she returned for KH3 so at least the saga will have one consistent voice, whether or not she carries on post-3. At the same time, I can't necessarily jumping up and down at the news either, because there's always the possibility I won't like the theme song anyway, like with "Sanctuary."

Have you liked any of her recent music like the stuff from Fantôme? Depending on that, your chances of enjoying the new stuff should greatly increase or decrease. Utada has matured a lot, and with it her music.
I dislike "Sanctuary" a lot but really like "Passion" and the -After the Battle- versions of both songs. "Sanctuary" suffers from not having the same ambient "ahhh"ing in the background that really tied "Passion" together, nor does it have the same level of sophistication thanks to the awkward English lyrics she wrote to try and fit the rhythm of the music.

Agreed about Sanctuary. It sounds like a demo compared to Passion lol
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song

Definitely has to do with the fact that she wrote "Sanctuary" first. "Passion" benefitted from being second (and also relegated to single status) because it got more production time and focus.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
This is a glorious day. -sobs uncontrollably in joy-
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of the last things done in a video game?
Edit: Also really hoping we get something akin to Hikari, because I love the melody and lyrics to that so much.
Sanctuary, on the other hand, is a different story. I like the lyrics to it more than Simple and Clean's, oddly enough. But I'm still not a big fan of Sanctuary (though I have heard some amazing covers of it).
I know people have been saying this for years, but if we got something similar to Final Distance I'd honestly be really happy.
Or This One (Crying Like a Child).

Depends on the game.
For KH2, Utada had the themes done like a whole 1-2 years before release? (I forget how long it had been...Dandelion will come to my rescue)

I actually don't know the answer to this, she'd worked on them for some time, the english version was written first - but we never heard them until like a month before release.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Finally!
I kinda just scared everyone in my living room with my massive shouts of joy XD
Even if Utada doesn't continue working with the franchise, it's so awesome she's doing KH3's theme! I wonder when we get to hear it.

Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I was at work and couldn't properly hype, sob.
I'M SO GLAD! I feel like the signs have been positive for years that this would happen but I'm so happy to hear it confirmed. It wouldn't be right for the current saga to have anyone else represent it.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Wait if we getting a new theme song from utada that means yoko will create a orchestra version as well for it
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Yay. I'm cryin' like a child.

Get excited.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Wonder if Utada will do themes for games after KH3? Though it's probably too early to ask
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Yay. I'm cryin' like a child.
she's one in a million

I think we should wait to see if they will even continue the series after 3 xD
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Best news ever. Finally a new song.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Man, it's like 2016's trying to make up for the entire year's worth of bad news with good news, such as Utada Hikaru's involvement with KH3.
I wonder if she'll approach it with a nostalgic tone, like she did with the other two (that's what I got from the four songs, anyways).
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
I honestly did not expect her to come back for the new theme song after hearing about her disputes with Disney & translating the songs from Japanese to English. I can't wait to hear it when the game comes out.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
Awesome, can't wait to hear it. Major feels yo
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song

I remember her saying in an interview when KH2 released that Sanctuary was recorded a whole year before she wrote Passion

Honestly, just because something is creatively difficult doesn't necessarily mean that it's impossible. She'll find a way around it, Kingdom Hearts III is still in development so she has plenty of time for a Japanese and English version.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
It's gonna be pretty hard to top the first 2 songs.

Oh boy, now you're taking me back. Been singing that song for 10 years haha (pun initially not intended, but then decided what the hell).
Passion was amazing when I first heard it when JP KH2 came out. Then I heard the English version and suddenly greatly desired the ability to switch language tracks for just the opening movie. Passion was just more dynamic, thanks to those background vocals.
Re: Utada Teruzane confirms Utada Hikaru's involvement in KINGDOM HEARTS 3's theme song
This literally makes my heart swell with joy and my eyes swell with tears.
Of the voices that couldn't / won't be able to return in the series over the coarse of its lifetime, due to a myriad of inflicting reasons, it really is the best news to hear that Utada will return. She is literally one of the first voices you hear in KH. I'm overjoyed.
This is such great news. If it's anything like her new music, we're in for such a treat.
Could not agree more. I have been listening to her latest album incessantly these past couple of weeks. It's not explosive in your face, but it hits all the right notes in every sense of the word. I'm glad it heralded such good news.
That is to say, I really, really hope an official statement is made soon, and that this isn't retracted.

Honestly, just because something is creatively difficult doesn't necessarily mean that it's impossible. She'll find a way around it, Kingdom Hearts III is still in development so she has plenty of time for a Japanese and English version.
I wasn't saying it was impossible, but rather wondering if she would be willing to do it. Utada seemed upset by it in the past, both because of the creative effort that had to go into it that she herself felt hurt the integrity of the work she was making and the lack of pay for the number of versions she was making. A compromise had to be reached somewhere.
So either Utada doesn't feel that way anymore or welcomes the challenge this time around, they are paying her more so she is happier to do the work, or we are only getting one song.
by the way utada posted ray of hope mix
[video=youtube;A8Cuem5SaJ0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8Cuem5SaJ0[/video]
So I imagine it will be a case of Ray of Hope MIX the short version being added in some KH soundtrack released later on
Oh boy, now you're taking me back. Been singing that song for 10 years haha (pun initially not intended, but then decided what the hell).
Passion was amazing when I first heard it when JP KH2 came out. Then I heard the English version and suddenly greatly desired the ability to switch language tracks for just the opening movie. Passion was just more dynamic, thanks to those background vocals.
I felt the exact same way. It is for that reason I don't watch the opening in English unless I'm playing the game.
This literally makes my heart swell with joy and my eyes swell with tears.

The tweet still lives almost 24 hours later. SE Japan doesn't go on break until New Years so they would have to know he dropped the news. We may be good?
EDIT: NVM LOL TERUZANE JUST TOOK IT BACK 8D
Loving the vocals from "Traveling" being in there
Oh snaps! You're right. I knew that little bit sounded familiar, but couldn't put my finger on it.
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
So yeah I think he was not surposed to talk about it yet oh well we will probaly find out next year if utada is coming back or not
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
I had hoped for this when she tweeted about the Ray of Hope remix, and now I'm happy <3
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
Oh wait so it's still undecided? Are they going over negotiations with Disney or Square?

Teruzane said they are eager to work on it but it is not official. So it sounds more like they are backpedaling because it was meant to be an official announcement.

Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
Really, they should have just wrote a quick PR, put the 15th Anniversary Logo on it, and said "Happy Holidays! Look forward to the many announcements coming next year!"
Then Nomura wouldn't have to even think about what the first KH3 news would be. It'd already be done and released lol

Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
Still crossing my fingers. It would mean so much to the whole KH fanbase if she'll do the KH3 theme. But I'll respect her decision if she wont do it.

It really isn't a mater of if she is or isn't. She is. xD He just said things too soon. The first tweet was too candid to not be true.
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
Disney were probably like "Yo, member that NDA?"

Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
Teruzane's a sweetheart, you can tell he's been really enthusiastic about doing this and wants to tell the whole world.
My guess is Disney/Square wanted to surprise people next year with a trailer accompanied by a peek at the new theme (or some other official venue for promoting the big news) and Mr. Utada unintentionally derailed that. I forgive him~.
Really though, people gotta stop looking to Twitter for this kind of information. And Square has gotta stop needlessly withholding this kind of information so people will stop seeking it out via third parties.
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
This looks like he spoke too soon and someone from Disney or SE called him, lol

Oh, I get it xD Really looking forward to the KH3 intro now :)
Re: UPDATE: Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3 is still undetermined
I just hope we hope we get a new theme soon. I don't care if it is a in Japanese, I just want something really cool and original.
Another fakeout? Well, not really a fakeout. Just a backpedal. Aw well.

What makes you think the KH3 song(s) and the remixes will be packaged together? EPs are mini albums, essentially. Not like singles which usually get packaged into albums.

yeah true but who to say they wont be packeged together master spockanort but anway i preoder the remixes couldn't help myself $3.99 is not bad for four songs
I believe the songs will eventually end up on a KH soundtrack, but I think it is ambitious to believe these songs will be on an Utada-released album with KH3's song.
