<!--
''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' uses two different versions for this track. In cutscenes taking place on the Destiny Islands, the version used is the one first introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. However, during the [[Ice Cream Beat]] mini-game, the track follows the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.
KH:4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: Can't identify all the percussion being used...not well-versed in global percussion; electric bass, synthesizer, trumpet,  
KHCOM & KHRECOM:4/4; 120bpm; Instruments: piano, some type of stringed instrument...not a zither...I don't presently remember the name; these are the only two instruments
KHII:4/4; 112bpm overall, the first measure is a fermata; Mention difference in tone - introduction especially & the use of the technique in the guitar that makes it sound like a "scratching" (sound of ocean waves?) sound; Instruments: strings section, piano, French horn, clarinet, pan flute, a specific/certain type of flute anyways, guitar in flamenco style?, NO PERCUSSION PERIOD = softer/gentler nature,  
KHBBS:Version that appears during cutscenes = follows KHII version; Ice Cream Beat version = follows original KH version
KHHHD: 4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: Same as KH percussion issue; electric bass, synthesizer, saxophone?? it's very faint, but I don't believe it's a trumpet this time.
KHIIHD:Same as original KHII version
KHRecoded:4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: electric bass, steel drums (now has main melody vs piano), trumpet, can't identify the keyboard/wood-block like sounds...it's the same as the original KH's.
