This instrumental arrangement is slightly different compared to the orchestral version, instead preferring a smaller instrumentation of: a complete strings section, flute, choir-ahhs, piano, organ, and a synthesizer that is using a music box MIDI sound effect.

Playing only once, "Hikari -KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental Version-" serves a distinct purpose: it represents the sacrifice [[Sora]] makes in order to save [[Kairi]]. As such, this version references parts of previous tracks in order to connect the music to this specific scene. The use of a music box sound effect is a homage to [[Kairi (track)|Kairi's theme]], while the actual melody draws heavily from the chorus section of "Hikari." It can also be interpreted that this rendition is a "watered down" version of the full orchestral arrangement.

"Simple and Clean (Re-Recording)" and "Hikari (Re-Recording)" feature re-recorded vocals from Utada Hikaru and a different instrumentation. In this arrangement, the song is now in the key of F# minor, and the instrumentals are more lo-fi in nature. The final words of the chorus of "Hikari" briefly appear at the track's outro, even in the "Simple and Clean" version.
