The soundtrack for ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' was composed entirely by Yoko Shimomura. Nearly 100 original tracks were made for the game.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "Also, the number of songs on the CD soundtrack was 76, but the game’s data actually has 99 songs. I said, "I don't want to have any more than 100!" and I stopped at 99." (Translation by [https://kh-ultimania.livejournal.com/6608.html KH Ultimania])</ref> The international release of ''Kingdom Hearts'' featured two additional tracks, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' included a further two more. A small handful of tracks were arrangements of existing Disney, ''Final Fantasy'', or classical pieces, but the majority of the soundtrack was wholly original. Hikaru Utada composed the theme song pair, "[[Simple and Clean]]" and "[[Hikari]]". | The soundtrack for ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' was composed entirely by Yoko Shimomura.

Shimomura composed the soundtrack with the idea of having short, contained musical phrases that would connect different pieces together.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Ultimania''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "I used small themed musical phrases for this game. For example, the main song is a phrase that expresses "precious memories", and that phrase was used in some other songs. Scattered fragments of that phrase was used in the End of the World's song, but were you able to catch that?"

(Translation by KH Ultimania)</ref> Several tracks near the game's climax incorporated the melody of the title theme, "[[Dearly Beloved]]"; songs relating to the [[Gummi Ship]] all share a two-measure melody; numerous songs relating to darkness are connected by a three-note motif: shared phrases such as these tie the soundtrack together.<!--Common instruments?--> | ||
