I was wondering if anyone could post this. I would greatly appreciate it. :3

All of this exists already, it's not too hard to find all of these tracks up for download via a simple Google search.

I do wonder if the tracks are changed from the released ones...

It looks like it's was a Vote-On-Our-Website, For-YOUR-favorite-Tracks-to-Appear-on-this-tribute-Compilation-Album. Disney did this type of thing with their Disney fans in Japan, asking them to vote for their favorite music and the songs with the most votes gets to appear in the album. But then again, it looks more like a Diet Kingdom Hearts Complete Music Collection and it's excluding the tracks from the Piano Collection editions.

Unless it's extended versions of these tracks, not really worth it. For a More Complete experience, just download the KH Complete set that covers KH,KH:FM, KH2, KH2:FM and Re:Com; the Birth-By-Sleep_358/2 Days & Re:coded soundtrack and the Dream Drop Distance soundtrack. For the two English openings, I think you can find that on Utada's 10 English Album, Colors. The only rare tracks to look for would be the PLANT-B Remix of Simple and Clean (which was released on the English KH OST), and the English versions of the Atlantica Mini-Game from KH2 (A Gamerip on that one.)

All these tracks are remastered, btw. It's not the original versions just compiled together like a cheap mixtape; if they were, I wouldn't be requesting it.

Do you mean to say that they are Remastered? It wasn't really that clear in your thread opener, as it read like it sounded a compilation mix-tape (track names associated with their respected album names), not as a remastering of some select KH tracks. You also forgot to mention that the tracks were remastered. Sorry for the criticism, but it's going to be a bit more helpful in terms of finding out a bit more and making people more interested in the album in question. Outside of that, I'd like to request that as well. (Though, I'd wait and see if an online store like Play Asia would have it available.)


NineEyes9Nines

No worries, I can see how that conclusion was met. I added that little note regarding that.

Where does this information come from?

Simple and Clean planitB remix is already on Utada Hikaru single - COLORS that was released in 2003.

"remastered"... nowdays it means "louder/less dynamic range" aka sounds worse than it did 10 years ago.

just get the KH collection box set instead of this.

I think that was the long version. The short version, aka the one that plays in the KH1/CoM/BbS/Re:Coded openings, is the one NE9N was referring to. Simple and Clean Planit-B Remix (long version) hasn't actually appeared in a Kingdom Hearts game, IIRC.

I definitely second this request

Add me to the request too. If this is remastared, then I definetely want it.

Provide a source for that claim.

Well how about that. I can't link the source because of filtering. However, a quick search on Google will yield the results you need.

And if that doesn't work for you, then I suggest checking the official site (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/kh/10th_fan/#!/top). I can't read Japanese (yet) so I can't confirm whether or not it says it is or not there. Or maybe Yoko Shimomura tweeted it, so it's somewhere there.

That said, I don't think they'd shortchange the fans by just compiling the tracks together without anything extra, not with all the things they're doing for the 10th Anniversary. Especially not when the music is a big part of the franchise.

And even supposing I am completely wrong on the remastering part, so what? People want to hear this, there's multiple requests for it. That fact cannot be disproven for it is right in front of you.

I've been reading it on a few forums, and the CD tracks are remastared. That was one of the main features that were announced when the project was revealed.

Thanks for that. I didn't realize I couldn't link those sites here or else I would. :\

No, it doesn't. I asked you to provide a source for your claim. I didn't just ask because of the lulz, but because no official annoucement about the album backs your claim. And no, KH-Insider is _not_ an official source.

Woah, look! Captian Obvious is here... check the official site, what an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. idea...

Guess what? I already did. Weeks ago. There is nothing about remastering there.

So where is this dubious tweet? Provide it, or else it's just another of your baseless claims.

The music division of SQEX is not an amateur. If they could advertise the product with being a remaster, then they would. But they're not:


スクウェア・エニックスから発売され、全世界総売上本数1,500万本を誇る大人気RPG「キ ングダム ハーツ」シリーズ生誕10周年を記念したCDアルバムの発売が決定。「キングダム ハーツ」全シリーズの中から、ユーザーの人気投票により収録曲を決定。ファンが選ぶ「キングダ ム ハーツ」サウンド10年の歴史がここに集結。


And even supposing I am completely wrong on the remastering part, so what?
Oh, so you _did_ make everything up in the first place. So what? Because that's spreading wrong information and furthermore misguiding people.

@Night Terror: Random forums are not an official source. dakirbymaster's post about it being a remaster doesn't magically become official only because it's posted here on the board.

*introduce random cursing*


Hello, hello everyone! To all collectors, music lovers, and general fans of KINGDOM HEARTS, you'll be pleased to know that the official site for the KINGDOM HEARTS 10th Anniversary Fan Selection Melodies&Memories soundtrack has opened! As you already know, this 2 disc soundtrack will be available on September 19th for 3,500� (roughly $44.72 USD), and thus, they have begun to reveal the tracks chosen to go into this set!

So far, only the ones for KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS CHAIN OF MEMORIES have been revealed, and you can view the list below. Composer Yoko Shimomura also has a short note about each track, which we'll have up shortly. She's remastered each of them specially for this occassion, and you can listen to previews of them on the site as well!

It's obvious it comes from an official source. You know as much as me that fansites usually rely on actual info and not on speculations. I'm still looking for a press release or something though since it's obvious this won't satisfy you :P

It's obvious it comes from an official source.
I know that text. I has been replicated over the net in the last weeks, after the official site opened. However the bit about the remastering is unsourced (!). Dozens of sites just republished the text without checking the validity of the information (like with the fake Apple anti-mod screws).


You know as much as me that fansites usually rely on actual info and not on speculations.
I know that fansites usually react in a highly biased way to such annoucements and are also prone to selfdelusion.


I'm still looking for a press release or something though since it's obvious this won't satisfy you :P
Please do. And no, this doesn't satisfy me. Not in the slightest.

Didn't find anything, Square Enix doesn't seem to like Press Notes for CD announcements. Anyways, remastering the tracks is something quite usual in this kind of collections, after all it's just trying to enhance the quality of the audio, not recording again the track, so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

So I guess that unless anyone has this in his hands no one will be ale to shed a little bit of light on this. Still we'll end up seeing it on the internet sooner or later, KH is KH :P

The notes are here:
Link (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/kh/10th_fan/#!/product)

However there's nothing there to back these claims. Same with the message from Shimomura on the page and with the short notes about the tracks, where she reminescenes about the making process.

Would be very much appreciated. But for now I don't see any reason to get this album. I own the Box, BbS, DDD and the two piano arrange album and this album therefore yields nothing new for me.

I get your first part, but not the second:

Those are on the site, I've seen the translation, as well as the originals.

What do you not get? Neither the notes nor the message claims in any way that a remastering took place.

Oh, you meant that, I thought you didn't find the notes or something :P

I know, but anyways that's not what you'd put on a note of the track I guess.

Too bad I don't have the money, I'd get it from Amazon since I've seen someone who sells it. Seeing the tracklist and the fact I haven't been able to get a physical release ever, that just suited me.

Seeing the tracklist and the fact I haven't been able to get a physical release ever, that just suited me.
I think that's what the album is intended for: People who don't own any of the previous KH album releases.

I just don't get why you're attacking me so hard when all I was doing was innocently requesting an album. Seriously, you've done nothing but attack my credibility since I posted this.

I was wrong, and I even said I can't read Japanese, so how was I to know nothing about remastering was said there. I couldn't read the site to tell.

That said, there are still people who want this, still people who've requested it. I don't know why you were so hell-bent on proving me wrong and making me eat my own words, but that doesn't change the fact that there are multiple requests on these boards for this collection.

Nobody's proved you were wrong yet. It's simply that there's absolutely no info. I doubt the site that reported it was remastered said it because they could.

I know they didn't say it just to say it; the problem is I'm not sure where the original source is. :\

I declare the thread bumped.

On the other hand: I found one ONE single site in which they had it up a 320kbps. Chinese site. Seems like you had to pay a fee. Not good idea, seeing I'd rather purchase the album :P

Any progress on this, anyone?

Anybody have it?

All of this whining and noone's actually gotten the CD yet? Bummer.

Mine just came in today. Is there a program that can help with ripping the music? This is my first time doing this.

Also, they did pick really great tracks and I'm loving this.

Foobar, EAC, etc. You can find a bunch in google, the point is lossless or 320 CBR or both, �Which one do you want to up? And... Do you notice some remastering or something you dont heard in the previous releases? Bless!

Ah sweet thanks. Personally I'd prefer MP3 but eh.

I'm looking for a program to rip at the highest quality in .mp3 format. And, all of the tracks sound the same.

Foobar + 320 MP3 Codec / Foobar + 320 vbr0
