thanks eyrpffx2 ...
rough translation:

Hikaru Utada contributes a theme song to the game software "Kingdom Hearts II".

Sale schedule for single "passion" this winter

Link here to the game site.


*EDIT

From Dengeki Online:
また、『キングダムハーツ II』ディレクターの野村哲也氏は、宇多田さんの起用について「前作でもそうでしたが、宇多田さんが書いて下さった楽曲からゲーム本編に影響を受ける部分は少なくありません。届いた詞の最後の一節を見た時、詞の完成とともに『キングダムハーツ II』の物語の始まりと終わりのビジュアルが、一気に目の前に広がった気がしました」とコメントしている。

This was a comment by KH director Tetsuya Nomura. He comments on Utada's involvement in Kingdom Hearts , and how influential the theme is to the story. It also appears that "passion" will be in the intro movie and ending movie(like in KH1).

Yay! I'm glad to see someone! And yay for the info! I haven't heard anything about this untill now. Thanks you guys! I'm so happy about this info you found out. Thankies! x3 And I'm glad to hear Utada, is back again. Well I mean she's starting to make more songs. Has anyone heard if she's still doing that Exodus 04 video?(Sorry for going off topic.)

Posted by Q on 2005/7/29 2:56:11

yeah ... i dont know if there is going to be an E04 video ... that past info about recruiting musicians for a Utada music video might be for another video, such as the YMMWTBAM video...

Oh I see. Well I hope she makes a new video soon. I really want to see it. And all this talk about Kingdom Hearts, is making me go crazy. I can't believe the game is about to come out soon! And the manga! x3 I still haven't beaten KH:CoM yet. xP

i wonder how the song sounds like if it sounds anything like hikari it must be good

Ha, I was hoping this would happen ^.^

I loved having her involed in an english project back before Exodus and I'm hoping that this new song is more along the veins of Simple and Clean than anything on Exodus :P

Heh I agree with Snow. I mean Exdous is great, but the song that made me fall in love with Utada's music was Simple and Clean. If I never heard that I probably wouldn't be a fan. So I hope 'Passion' is a cool song, that I will love just as much as Simple and Clean. x3

i hope it will be as great as simple and clean ^^.
