Hi all. I stumbled upon something I thought the forum's Kingdom Hearts fans would appreciate.

What we have here is the Opening and Closing versions of Sanctuary -- the English theme from Kingdom Hearts II -- ripped from Utada Hikaru's most recent English album, This Is the One (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_the_One). Released in the United States on May 12, 2009, the domestic disc features the English versions of Sanctuary as bonus tracks. Also on the disc as a bonus track is Simple and Clean, which is included in the RAR.

I've hunted to see if anyone else has posted them here yet, but all the versions I've found appear to be ripped directly from the game. The quality of theses files is VBR, and they sound MUCH better than a rip of the in-game music.

I'm currently on the hunt for a higher quality rip (trying to find them in FLAC). If I find it, I'll post it.

Much appreciated for this. It's good to finally have a CD quality version of these songs! Thanks. :D

Edit: Found a 320KBPS rip for these songs if anyone wants them... http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=8a8c1131e52455e444f33b24bd989ec7

Thanks to Spike for making me aware of these songs and google for the search result. :-)

It's good to finally have a CD quality version of these songs!

Totally agreed, it took way too long for these songs to be released on CD. And they sound great! Thanks for the 320kbps files. That's awesome. :)

Incidentally, I've found the album in FLAC format. Once I've had a chance to download it, I'll upload the songs in FLAC.

Interesting, thanks :)

Thanks.

Thanks Spike and arigeitsu! ^_^

XOXO

Thanks for providing this songs.. I love Utada's works for Kingdom Hearts series. Let's expect new beautiful song for new KH xD

Thanks for the music ^_^

thanks, ari.

I'm trying to download it but I can't. Mediafire won't work and Filesend also. Am I clicking the wrong thing? It's the yellow "DOWNLOAD" button, right?

no, the link's been deleted from their site. so u would request for a reupload.

Reupload?

Thank you.
