【Piano Arrangement】Dearly Beloved - KINGDOM HEARTS 20th Anniversary Medley -

Based on "Dearly Beloved -Swing Version-," I made a medley that reminds me of the various worlds and characters that appear in the game "Kingdom Hearts" series.

Amazing, Beautiful, Great. Keep up the good work!

I closed my eyes and tried to recognize all leitmotifs, Riku's one was hard to tell because of different tempo and the very cool way you used to include it, well done!

[@Prelude_Music]

Thank you for listening!
Yeah, Riku and Namine's theme was in three beats, so I was troubled when thinking about the order of the songs.
Also Aqua's theme is slow, so I had to consider how fast I could speed up the tempo without a sense of discomfort.

[@Prelude_Music]

-Instrument
-Key
-Tempo
-Swing (except for some songs)
-Chord progression (some songs are unified to the Dearly Beloved’s chord progression)
When creating this medley, the above filtering is applied to each song, so some songs may feel very different.

[@Prelude_Music]

The key was shifted from the original as follows (unit: semitone)
Dearly Beloved : 0
Destiney Islands : +3
Traverse Town : -3
Destati : 0
Organization XIII : 0
Vanitas : -2
Terra : 0
Aqua : -2
Ventus : -1
Roxas : -2
Xion(Vector to the Heavens) : 0
Kairi : 0
Namine : -3
Riku : -5
Sora : -2
Face My Fears (KHⅢ) : -1
Don’t Think Twice (KHⅢ) : +5
Passion (KHⅡ) : -1
Hikari (KH) : 0
Don't Think Twice and Riku, which you mentioned, have a large discrepancy, so those who have absolute pitch may feel a great deal of discomfort.
When making a medley, there is a conflict between the desire to keep all the songs in the same key and the desire to respect each song's key. In this case, I chose the former.
