Dearly Beloved ~Kingdom Hearts

Just finished another great game - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, on NDS. It is an interquel game in which the story takes place between Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2). In short, Kingdom Hearts is a RPG that let us control the protagonist Sora and we will visit many Disney worlds. This is not a game for kids although Disney worlds and characters are involved. The story is deep and interesting. Among the worlds that we get to visit are Wonderland (Alice in the wonderland), Peter Pan's world, Beast Castle (Beauty and the Beast) etc etc etc.

The main theme of Kingdom Hearts is Dearly Beloved, a very sweet song that can be heard in the game menu as well as within the game various cutscenes. This is the piano arrangement of Dearly Beloved.

The opening of this version of Dearly Beloved reminds me alot of the Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto. If you watch Nodame Cantabile, in a episode, Chiaki performed a piano concerto, and there is a scene showing Nodame wearing the bear costume and walk into the concert hall while Chiaki was performing that piano concerto. Ya. That's the song.

The similar part of these two song can be heard in 0.10 sec - 0.45 sec of the song.
