There was an incident where I was playing a song to compose and then suddenly, the power went out. Shimomura: …Though this is not related to the song itself, I feel like if you cut a song midway, you really lose the flow. I think "Nachtflügel" represents Yozora very well, and that's important. And it was a nice challenge after composing songs such as "Dearly Beloved", "The Other Promise", and "Vector to the Heavens". It's the last song I wrote for KH III and I think it came out amazing for various reasons. Shimomura: It's hard for me to pick just one for various reasons…but if I had to pick, I would choose Yozora's theme, "Nachtflügel". Interviewer: What was a soundtrack that you feel needed extra attention in its composition? (Shimomura's answer) I would appreciate it if the intro was the part that you remember most from the song. I composed it with the intention to make the intro stick in your head. Ishimoto: For me, it was the Caribbean world's "Flags of Fury". Interviewer: What was a soundtrack that you feel needed extra attention in its composition? (Ishimoto's answer)
If you get the soundtrack, please listen closely to it, as I know you'll feel the professionalism in the song. Guitars, violins…everything was played by his team. Since the song had its roots in folklore, I asked his team to play the song. Interviewer: If I recall correctly, he had worked on Final Fantasy XV's soundtrack, correct? Since that song starts with a very fast tempo, and I wondered: "Is this even possible to play?", I went out and asked Mitsushiro Ota. Sekito: For me, that would be the song that plays during the dancing minigame in the Kingdom of Corona, "Sunshine Dancer".

Shimomura: You see, the KH series can't be too "Final Fantasy-esque" so I think that was probably why the song had to be redone so many times. Sekito: No re-takes were necessary on KH3's songs but if there's one song that got so many retakes, it was Kingdom Hearts Unchained X's "Mission Complete!" I remember we had to re-take that song EIGHT times. Interviewer: Have there been any times where you had to do a re-take of a song? Shimomura: Before the outbreak even began, most songs were already done, and since most of us would record in a studio and then listen and fine-tune at home either way, I don't think there were many critical issues. Interviewer: Did the recent Coronavirus outbreak affect negatively the production of the soundtrack? Especially since the arrangement of the battle song is similar to the one you listen to in the world, so why separate them? I proposed that each world's songs should be compiled together, and not separated like books in a library. Shimomura: The battle songs and the field songs of each world were separated across different discs, and I honestly disliked such a thing. There are some beautiful songs among them. Interviewer: The disc also contains the songs that play in the worlds. The soundtrack that plays during Master Xehanort's final fight in KH3, "Dark Domination", was a collaboration between original melodies I wrote in the past and new elements from Ishimoto, and I believe it turned out to be an amazing song! The soundtrack that plays during Xemnas, Ansem and Xehanort, "Forza Finale" was composed by Yasunori Nishiki, and even I was truly in awe when listening to it. Interviewer: There are new arrangements, but there's also the songs that left a strong impression on fans, such as the track that plays during the Keyblade Graveyard fight. However, since this time around we decided to include all of the songs in the entire Seekers of Darkness saga, as well as the tons of different arrangements and versions, I imagined it would pass 100 songs easily, and not fit in a single disc.To be honest, I didn't even count how many soundtracks were in total. Shimomura: Combining the amount of tracks in the "numbered KH titles" was around 100. The album contains 8 CDs, which is an impressive volume, if I do say so myself. Interviewer: Finally, the long-awaited KHIII Soundtrack is going to be released soon. Famitsu Interview with the Musical Production Team of KINGDOM HEARTS III
