** Speaking of, we have Utada Hikaru's lovely end theme, Hikari, and its English version, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEB5fPH3b8U Simple and Clean]].

* In the same vein as "Hikari" above, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKv9AwJs3F0 Passion]] was also orchestrated...and in doing so was turned from a fairly good J-pop song to an awesome mood-setting piece.

* And for ''Field & Battle'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvd9RtRXSdk Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion]] made it [[BeyondTheImpossible possible]] that Xion's Theme could be even ''more'' bittersweet.

* OC [=ReMix=] remixed Hollow Bastion into this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj6v2cmD8u4 awesome piece of work]]! Definitely worth a listening to.

** MiyuIrino sang part of [[http://www.youtube.com/watchv=TotzronkNlU&feature=player_detailpage Hikari]] for the album of an anime he was in. A fan remix his singing with the above-mentioned [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrk4PNpvXUI&feature=player_detailpage rock remix]]

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPoI0Kao8Po Symphonic Fantasies Kingdom Hearts piece.]] Fifteen minutes of pure orchestrated gorgeousness with all of the major pieces from the games seamlessly strung together. My god.

* From the game's Final Mix we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrD2oBiVec Master, Tell Me The Truth]], the battle theme for [[spoiler: The Armor of The Master, Master Eraqus' Sentiment]], which incorporates some of the Land of Departure's battle theme.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6R3ZlM0_k4 Disappeared]], the suitably creepy boss music to the Unknown in the first FM, [[spoiler:which pops up again in KHII as Xemnas's first boss battle theme.]]

** The [=PLANITb=] Remixes of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUU26a_of8w Hikari]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2EMupg4YE4 Simple and Clean]] take the aforementioned songs and remix them into a different kind of awesome.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXHbsG4JIM&feature=related "Thirteenth Discretion"]], a creepy piece accompanying many of the scenes with Organization XIII.

* The main theme from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCHFEp1u10s&feature=related Pride Lands]] world. Makes you want to go on an adventure, doesn't it?

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIv_dEa_vrM&feature=related Xion's Theme]] ''definitely'' counts, being a melancholy variation on Kairi's theme that is quite fitting for the character.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyCNXueijXo&feature=related Secret of Neverland]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFX1wZ1TUFg Crossing to Neverland]], Neverland's themes in this game which are completely redone from the Neverland music in the previous games. It's a shame they didn't use it in ''Birth By Sleep''.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScGJEi11mx8&feature=related Fight and Away]] is a fantastic remix of the two boss themes, Struggle Away and Fight for my Friends, from ''Chain of Memories'' and makes any fight ten times more epic.

* These two remixes of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvRxeElDH7g Scherzo Di Notte]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVX8VbBvgw&feature=related Radiant Garden]], which take the already great original songs and adds a touch of grandiosity fitting for ''BirthBySleep''[='s=] version of the world.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d4GeZ0MY-A&feature=related Rage Awakened - The Origin -]]. For all the awesomeness from [=KH2=], it's even better here. It has a sense of urgency that fits the tone of the fight that [=KH2=] didn't have. The song makes that scene.

* For ''Piano Collections'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKkpVA9Fvak&feature=related 2nd Mov.: Kairi - Andante Sostenuo]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd59t-84cKE&feature=related 3rd Mov. Riku: - Scherzo e Intermezzo]]. This is arguably the loveliest Kairi's Theme has been (and that's saying something), and Riku's Theme is just drenched with awesomeness.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkRIAKX6fds&feature=related 1st Mov.: Sora - Allegro Con Brio]], which turns the already great theme into an upbeat piano piece. There's even a surprise from 1:35-1:45.
* And for ''Field & Battle'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvd9RtRXSdk&feature=related Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion]] made it [[BeyondTheImpossible possible]] that Xion's Theme could be even ''more'' bittersweet.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC2JmK_9FvE&feature=related Medley of Conflict]], which combines several battle themes into one epic piano piece.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJlFTe7nkg Marluxia's final battle theme]], "Lord of the Castle", can remixed to an epicness '''greater''' than in "Anthology", courtesy of bakuriu007. His remix of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpK3h6khT68&feature=channel Xion's Theme]] is also wonderfully [[TearJerker tearjerking]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/user/sasukeshika sasukeshika's rock remixes]] manage to take the epic of KH battle themes and take them UpToEleven. For example, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sCfr5e0S-I Vanitas's Final Battle]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66avd8n-fB4&feature=related Xion's Final Battle]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDrZ0ATTMYM&feature=related Lord of the Castle]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTFV8sVKzU Deep Anxiety]]. He has at least a dozen others, too!

* Blue.Nocturne shows how it can be done with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKD5WN47DOU&feature=related Colors of the Wind]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDIStA5VWe4 Bells of Notre Dame]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watchv=4H5zOJnxBHc&feature=related Hellfire]].

* How is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnCqxlUf-Rg The 13th Struggle (KHII Version)]] (Also referred to as Axel's Theme) Not on here?!

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E-xPwnzdKQ The ''358/2 Days '' version]] of a [[IncrediblyLamePun dearly beloved song]]. Shimomura must really like playing with this one to see how much more awesome she can make it.

* Then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt5D-1IaryQ Critical Drive]], one of the final battle themes in the game. While the [=KH2=] version, Deep Drive, was all right, the 358/2 Days version really brings out Roxas's and the player's [[IncrediblyLamePun drive]] to beat the mission.

* Then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ScWmdhP25M&fmt=18 Critical Drive]], one of the final battle themes in the game. While the [=KH2=] version, Deep Drive, was all right, the 358/2 Days version really brings out Roxas's and the player's [[IncrediblyLamePun drive]] to beat the mission.
