This is my official plug for something I have been anticipating for three years: an official “Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts.” Square Enix released the CD in Japan on May 27th, and a sheet music book today (June 17th). With 12 amazing arrangements by Kaoru Wada (和田 薫) of some of the best Kingdom Hearts songs composed by Yoko Shimomura (下村 陽子), it’s one of the most amazing things I’ve heard.

Here is sheet music for my favorite track, arranged for you to also perform and post on YouTube.
