It was extremely difficult formulating my top 100. Even after spending hours upon hours re-listening to the soundtracks, I found myself making adjustments as I created this video over the span of three months. Here's a count of the number of songs from each game along with some thoughts of the soundtracks as a whole: KINGDOM HEARTS (♪15) There are many iconic tracks that come from the iconic first game of the series. There are central themes and motifs that have been used in so many other games, so I did my best to give the original tracks justice in this countdown. KINGDOM HEARTS RE:CHAIN OF MEMORIES (♪4) There aren't too many new tracks, but there are a few that really stand out. I like the pieces that play during the cutscenes in this game, but I ultimately could only include one in this list. KINGDOM HEARTS II (♪28) My favorite game with a lot of my favorite music. There's a huge collection of music that was brand new in this game, and I think Kingdom Hearts II has the strongest representation of Yoko Shimomura's talent. I don't think it will be surprising that II has the largest representation. KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS (♪6) The soundtrack to 358/2 days recycles a lot of tracks from KH II, but the new ones are unforgettable. I think the emotions conveyed in the game are more mature than most of the other games, and the soundtrack reflects that. KINGDOM HEARTS BIRTH BY SLEEP (♪17) BBS has a great soundtrack. I really enjoy the instrumentation, and like 358/2 days Yoko Shimomura conveys emotion very well. In particular, the melancholy and "sad" tracks are among the strongest along with iconic boss themes. KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: DREAM DROP DISTANCE (♪16) This is the first game that Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito joined Yoko Shimomura. Although I still prefer Shimomura's composing, Ishimoto and Sekito have a few really good tracks between 3D and III. In terms of 3D's soundtrack, Yoko's use of the violin is amazing. Although old motifs are reused in many boss themes, I believe they are among the best of the boss themes. KINGDOM HEARTS UNION 𝛘[CROSS] (♪3) Any game or entry relating to the story of Union Cross I labeled as Union Cross- as one who has never played the mobile game, I don't understand the name changes over time. However, there are a few pieces that have become important over time, and I think we'll continue to hear the three I included in my rankings in future Kingdom Hearts games. KINGDOM HEARTS 0.2: BIRTH BY SLEEP - A FRAGMENTARY PASSAGE (♪1) I really love the new tracks in 0.2, but it was difficult to consider them because they are combinations of other world themes. There is one completely original track that I knew had to be included. KINGDOM HEARTS III (♪20) Kingdom Hearts III has several new tracks that stand out to me, but the arrangements by multiple new composers are the highlight, in my opinion. Much of the count is for tracks with a "+" sign, indicating another arrangement I felt was necessary to include. I really wanted to include more otherwise, but I think the other games just have better music. My biggest grievance is that Yoko Shimomura did not compose the final battle theme herself. I like the one we were given, and it's iconic because it's the final battle of the Xehanort Saga, but in my opinion it could have been so much better.
I'm really enjoying all the songs you picked out! It sounds like you chose everything very thoughtfully. I'm surprised your collection hasn't gotten more attention!
A very strong selection!! Although I would have included the CoM version of 94, and also ranked number 22 (and maybe a few others) a little higher up. Quite a surprise at number 1, too - especially considering the fact that numbers 20 and 9 got their own separate entries. ENORMOUS kudos for the transitions on number 4, though, especially that one near the end - I had to have a double-take and rewind a bit to make sure it happened the way it did, which was absolutely brilliant!
Thank you so much for your video! When I have an idea about the next video, sometimes I'm checking RUclips to see if there is a similar video about it. I am very happy when I find videos as well done as yours. Your love for the saga really shows. I know you have dedicated a lot of hours to make this video, so as a fan of Kingdom Hearts, I thank you. I know that Kingdom Hearts has hundreds of songs, many of them of an enormous quality, so I understand that it must be difficult to choose the first places. Still, I think your top 100 is very coherent, even though maybe I don't share all the positions.
My top 10 1 - Aqua 2 - Limpeto oscuro (KH3) 3- Lord of the castle 4 -Riku 5 - Kairi ( all versions ) 6 - Namine 7 - Nachtflugel 8 - dearly beloved (KH3) 9 - Scythe of petals 10 - Always in my heart - always makes me cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wow, you must have put a lot of effort into this video. Thank you so much for creating this amazing tribute to a game series we all hold very close to our hearts!
A shame that Fragment of Sorrow, Rowdy Rumble, the battle themes for the Pixar Worlds, or any of the vocal songs didn’t make it on here.. still, not bad!

Lo mejor ta muy bueno los 100 soudtracks, espero que tenga mas visitas❤
The transitions between some tracks are ON POINT, man. Stranded Beyond to Kairi was genius!
Thank you! That’s probably the transition I’m most proud of so I’m happy you noticed it!
I love that you have "All for One" so high! After playing DDD I would listen to that song so much!
Amazing list, I will be revisiting this often!
Thank you! “All for One” is just so good, Shimomura went all out as always!
A very strong selection!! Although I would have included the CoM version of 94, and also ranked number 22 (and maybe a few others) a little higher up. Quite a surprise at number 1, too - especially considering the fact that numbers 20 and 9 got their own separate entries.

Thank you for the feedback and sharing your takes! I’m just a sucker for the theme from Darkness of the Unknown haha
To be fair, 20 and 9 only use Darkness of the Unknown Phase 2.
this is really great^
Thank you so much for your video!
