Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', the piece is two minutes and seventeen seconds. For ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the piece is shortened to one minute and fifty-one seconds. The [[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX|''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' HD remake]] version is two minutes and forty-seven seconds long.
 
For instrumentation, each version uses the same instruments, though for games not in the HD remakes, some voices are covered through electronic means- such as synthesizer. In general, the instrumentation includes: a strings section- violin, cello, and stringed bass, cymbals, tambourine, shaker, bongos,<!--and maybe congas?--> guitar, electric bass, and hand clapping. Additional instruments, unique and primarily used in traditional Middle Eastern music include the {{w|qanun (instrument)|qanun}}, {{w|ney}}, and {{w|derbake}}.<!--The Re:CoM version also has a handful of auxiliary drums...can't identify which specifically. Also, someone who has more knowledge on Middle Eastern music should really review this section/help out/check what I've written. Don't want to offend anyone.-->
 
A musical exoticism is used for this piece, evoking a Middle Eastern-type environment through the use of traditional Middle Eastern instruments, melodic keys, and rhythms. Throughout the piece is a music composition technique called "syncopation," in which emphasis is placed on the weaker (or "off") beats in rhythm. This syncopation can be heard in the electric bass guitar. The use of a sixteenth note triplet, closely resembling other musical {{w|ornament (music)|embellishments}}, is also apparent throughout the piece, primarily in the strings section.


With the exception of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'', the piece starts with a triplet pickup measure in the strings. While some instruments will play the shorter or "moving" rhythms, like eighth and sixteenth notes, other instruments, such as the higher voiced strings- namely the violin- instead prefer the longer, tied rhythmic values. The increased and varied instrumentation in the percussion section helps create a unique atmosphere. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and its HD counterpart, the tone relaxes slightly, creating the same Middle Eastern environment, but in a much calmer fashion. In this version, the percussion section does not play as dominate of a role, allowing the transferring melody between stringed and flute instruments to lead.
<!--Insert theory on style/music analysis/difference in variations between games, and instrumentation for each game; also, how the nature of music relates to the environment it reflects-->
