The Music of Kingdom Hearts II (KH2)

Описание: This video explores Yoko Shimomura's magnificent score for Kingdom Hearts 2: a soundtrack teeming with callbacks and self-referential musical material, and also one that helped further establish and lay important groundwork for the musical future of the series.

Thanks for watching! And thank you to KH-Vids for being a wonderful resource for extracting game footage, and to the KH community for being crazy fun to talk about this kind of stuff with. Also thanks to Jacob, Ica, Ro, Laura, and Daniel for helping me prepare the layout of the connection diagram this time--it was difficult to get everything to fit nicely, and I couldn't be happier with how it looks. Excited to explore the music in 358/2 Days soon!
