Second KH Piano Collections out on 1/13

[Lissar]

The second collection of KH songs done on piano will be released on 1/13/2010. But no track listing yet.

Composer Yoko Shimomura sends us her love by saying:

Hello! Yoko Shimomura here.

My second album of Piano Collections for Kingdom Hearts will soon be here! I can't believe that I'd have another album coming out so soon after the first one. I really can't thank all of you enough for your support. Is there anyone out there that listened to the special song I recorded for Square-Music Sampler Vol. 4? This time (as I hope I did last time!) I think I'll be recording some really awesome music. I can't tell you which songs yet, you'll have to wait for January for that.

Thank you so much!

Given that the album is subtitled "Field & Battle", the songs will probably mostly be just that. Which will be awesome because KH battle music is awesome.

[Athel]

I want a piano Vim and Vigor and Rage Awakened.

Then I will be happy.

Finally, some KH news!

Too bad that some of us can't import the OST to other countries, either to the lack of money or we are just too lazy to do it. Hmm, some yummy battle music at last, thought it's going to be the BBS soundtrack. Heh~
Anyway, I knew this today even before you post it. Nice find though.

 

[Twilightheaven]

I am hoping that they play some of the songs of 358/2 days like xion's battle theme and the riku final battle music. That would be awesome.

 

[Audo]

Is there anyone out there that listened to the special song I recorded for Square-Music Sampler Vol. 4?

Sinister Sundown, so good.

 

[Memory Master]

So it's coming out after BBS and she cant tell us what songs will be one there (Maybe because it is BBS songs and since BBS has not been released, she cant tell us the names of the songs).

 

[Audo]

So it's coming out after BBS and she cant tell us what songs will be one there (Maybe because it is BBS songs and since BBS has not been released, she cant tell us the names of the songs).

Or it could just be the fact that she hasn't recorded it yet, and thus hasn't settled on a final track list.

 

[kingudamu]

maybe some bbs battle tracks maybe?

i cant wait for this- rage awaken and courage i do want XD

Just trying to be optimistic here.

 

[Sandslash]

I hope they play Roxas' Theme

>.o

I hope they play Roxas' Theme

Ugh, I hope not. That one has been played to death.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

I hope they play Roxas' Theme

They played it on the first album. I would rather hear Xion's themes and the awesome music from KH1 and the awesome music bound to come from BBS.

 

[Teiku 5]

i'm siced.

this should be really good. i forget the name, but i love the song that play during the Darkside battles.

I hope they play Roxas' Theme

that's not Field or Battle music. plus like lycoris said, that was definitely on the first Piano Collections.

 

[Blizzara]

That's awesome news! I got the first one and love it. I hope the second will include some of those I wish were in the first!

It's called Field & Battle, so... if not Xion's theme, at least her battle theme maybe? ^^'
I'd also really love to hear Hollow Bastion, Scherzo di Notte, Sacred Moon and Deep Drive. Those four are awesome songs.

 

[Negative]

I hope they play Happy Holidays, even though that song's also been played to death. I just really want to hear it on piano, and I also want there to be a chance for sheet music, sense there really isn't any of it yet.

 

[Hueco*Cielo]

I certainly hope they include the first song from the TGS trailer, it was lovely...
Playing Roxas' theme from the first Collection is a real treat, lots of fun! Playing Working Together is a real PAIN. Holy crap that piece is HARD!

Shimomura-sensei has MAD skills!

 

[Lvng]

Wonder if "Field" includes something like "Destiny Islands", because I was so disappointed that it wasn't on the last album.

Destati would be a treat, but it may be a bit too strange for a piano solo. "The Force in You" also seems quite likely. And wouldn't everyone just love "Fate of the Unknown". I can see "A Fight to the Death" being the next Concert paraphrase equivalent.

This, and a Deep Dive piano ver. > The 13th Side.
Wonder if the reduced price means less tracks...

Edit: The album art can be found here.

 

[Blizzara]

Bumping this up to point out that there's a link to the BBS website on the Piano Collections 2 Page... And vice-versa. So either they're just promoting each other, or there will indeed be BBS songs in the next album. =D

 

[Marly]

God I love the first Piano Collection I really cannot wait for the second collection ;-;

 

[Evello]

I would love to see Xion's theme (saddest song ever), Destati, Deep Dive, and Fate of the Unknown. None of those are field music, but I can dream, can't I? Of the actual field music, I would like to see Sinister Sundown, Vim and Vigor, Face It!, Scherzo Di Notte, and Lazy Afternoons.
