The 9-CD set includes every single original soundtrack used in the three Kingdom Hearts games released as of 2007 (Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories). This is the best set to buy if you haven't bought any Kingdom Hearts OST yet, and it also includes a few previously unreleased tracks that you cannot get elsewhere. However, if you're only looking for songs from a specific game, I'd recommend getting that game's single OST CD instead.

If the odd product title and lack of stock in western stores haven't clued you in yet, this item is from Japan and all lyrics are in Japanese, so there are tracks that never appeared or were altered for the English release. I've read some reviews in other Kingdom Hearts music products that indicated disappointment about their not being in English. If you're looking for the English versions of songs like "Hikari" (Simple and Clean) and "Passion" (Sanctuary), they are not included in this OST set.

I bought this version of the Kingdom Hearts sound track because I love the Japanese music, and I was looking for a specific version of Simple and Clean in Japanese. The version I was looking for I knew about through a friend, and the CD I have of it got scratched, so the song no longer plays. Well, these 9 CD's did not have the version of Simple and Clean that I was looking for. However, there were 3 other versions of it, included on the CDs, so I'm not upset.

This set has 229 songs, and they range from 16 seconds to almost 8 minutes long. When the box says it is in Japanese, it really does mean it. I was very surpised to find that at the beginning of CD (from Kingdom Hearts 2) it is the part where you have to sing with Ariel and Sebastian. Well, if you buy these CD's you will have the Japanese versions of those songs like Under the Sea, and Part of Your World.

Although the CD's did not have the song I was looking for, I really was pleased with this buy. The only songs they could add to it would be the version of Simple and Clean that I was looking for (it starts out with a heart beat way before the singer starts up it's the only one that I have heard that does), and the English versions of the songs.

Once I heard about this album, I had to have it. I went searching online and found it through this vendor. The material came to me in a quick and timely manner and have not stopped listening to it since I received it. It was a very stress-less transaction and I look forward to possibly getting more material from this vendor in the future. :)

Man have I been waiting and waiting for this!I bought it from simplethings7 who is a super seller. This BOX SET has the complete music from the Kingdom Hearts games; plus extras from final mix games and secret extras at the end of each game. But i must say that all the opening songs and ending songs that are in this set, are in Japanese. Other than that, great buy.
