E3 2018: What’s The Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer Song?

June 13, 2018

For those of us who haven’t died of old age, E3 2018’s biggest highlight (despite the wait) was the trio of Kingdom Hearts 3 trailers we were given. If you weren’t blown away by the Pirates of the Caribbean reveal of the Frozen section then you almost certainly 1) Have no soul and 2) Are currently humming the Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer song instead. But who sung it and what’s the song called? If you know your keyblades from your xblades then you might know the answer already, but for the rest of you: here’s everything you need to know about that Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer song.

E3 2018 Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer Song: What Song is It?

The song in question, which played a key role in the first Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer shown at E3 2018 (y’know, the one where Aqua got Norted) is ‘Don’t Think Twice’. It made its debut during the D23 Expo trailer.

The Japanese version of the Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer song is titled ‘Oath’.

Hikaru Utada is the singer who’s probably been stuck in your mind for the past few days. The Japanese star has a storied history with the Kingdom Hearts franchise, and this may yet be her (and Sora’s) swansong, hence the more sombre tone. I’m already welling up.

Hey, I’m Bradley. I am legally required to tell you that my puns are terrible and I should, under no circumstances, be told otherwise. I’m that weird gaming guy you can’t really fit into one neat box: I love all of the sports games, Madden especially, but I’m equally at home polishing off a 45-hour Japanese visual novel. Also, go and play Danganronpa. Like, right now. Seriously.

For my sins, I’m a Crystal Palace and Colts fan which means I’m down in the dumps most weekends – so feel free to mock me over on Twitter.
