"'''Simple and Clean'''"<ref>Also written as "Simple And Clean".</ref> and its Japanese counterpart {{nihongo|"'''Hikari'''"|光||lit. "Light"}} are a pair of songs written and sung by {{w|Utada Hikaru}}. They are main themes of the {{c|Kingdom Hearts|series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series}}.


It plays during the Ending videos of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]''.  
A pair of remixes titled "'''Simple and Clean -PLANITb Remix-'''"<ref>Also written as "Simple And Clean -PLANITb Remix-".</ref> and "'''Hikari -PLANITb Remix-'''" debuted alongside the original song in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. A new pair of remixes by PUNPEE titled "'''Simple and Clean -Ray Of Hope MIX-'''" and "'''Hikari -Ray of Hope MIX-'''" were composed for ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''.


==Other Versions==
An instrumental arrangement of the piece titled "'''Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-'''"<ref>Also written as "Hikari -KINGDOM orchestra instrumental version-" and "Simple and Clean -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-".</ref> was introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts'', arranged by Kaoru Wada and performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. A shorter instrumental arrangement by Yoko Shimomura appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'' as well, titled "'''HIKARI -KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental Version-'''". A new instrumental arrangment by Kaoru Wada appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', titled "'''Hikari -KINGDOM Tres Orchestra Instrumental Version-'''".
'''Hikari''' is the original, Japanese version of Simple and Clean. It was used in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' and in the Japanese version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.


'''PLANiTB''' made a remix of Simple and Clean and Hikari which is played during the Opening Movie of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. This version is faster, shorter and has more of a dance mix feel to it than Utada's original song.

==Composition==
==="Simple and Clean"===
"Hikari" first released on Utada's ''{{w|Deep River (Utada Hikaru album)|Deep River}}'' album, while "Simple and Clean" first released on the ''{{w|Colors (Hikaru Utada song)|Colors}}'' single. The name ''Hikari'' (光) means "Light" in Japanese, a universal force in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe.
 
==="Simple And Clean -PLANITb Remix-"===
"Simple And Clean -PLANITb Remix-" and "Hikari -PLANITb Remix-" are versions of "Simple and Clean" and "Hikari" remixed by Russell McNamara at PLANITb Studios London, England. The PLANITb Remix is faster, longer, and has more of a dance mix feel to it than Utada's original song. A shortened version of the remix is used in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.
 
==="Simple And Clean -Ray Of Hope MIX-"===
"Simple And Clean -Ray Of Hope MIX-" and "Hikari -Ray Of Hope MIX-" are versions of "Simple and Clean" and "Hikari" remixed by PUNPEE. This version is shorter in length in comparison to the original and the PLANITb Remix. The arrangement has a similar dance mix feel to the PLANITb Remix, although a few clicks slower.<!--Throughout the piece are various interjections such as "let's go!" Note: Can anyone make sense of these, or can hear the other underlying words? Do they serve an actual purpose, or merely just "bump 'em up" words?-->
 
==="Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-"===
"Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-" is approximately three minutes and forty-two seconds long in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and the HD remake of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. The piece has a time signature of 4/4. The opening theme<!--first forty seconds--> has a tempo of 70 beats per minute, then slightly increases to 80 beats per minute<!--second theme; oboe melody-->, briefly speeds up with the low brass melody to a tempo of 154 beats per minute,<!--low brass part melody; 1:20 timestamp--> temporarily slows down to 74 beats per minute, <!--section before finale--> and concludes with a tempo around 72 beats per minute before the final rallentando and ritardando.
 
For instrumentation, "Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestral Instrumental Version-" consists of a full orchestra. This would include: a complete strings section- violin, viola, cello, and stringed bass, flute, oboe, bassoon,<!--contrabassoon?--> clarinet, bass clarinet, trumpet, French horn, trombone,<!--euphonium?--> tuba, snare drum, bass drum, orchestral bells, chimes, wind chimes, suspended cymbal, crash cymbal, timpani, piano, and harp.
 
"Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-" has a very grand and adventurous feel to it; befitting for an opening or ending cutscene. Several different themes are introduced, which can be broken down into five sections: the opening theme/introduction, the second theme , the third theme, the fourth theme, and the finale. Each section represents either a verse or chorus from "Hikari." Throughout the piece are many instrument-specific and unique techniques, such as: trombone glissandos, the various strings extended techniques- vibrato, and the like.
 
The opening theme lasts for the first fifty seconds on the piece, and, as the opening statement of the composition, lays the foundation for the following themes. The opening theme's magical mood transitions to the second theme's faster, but equally as mystical tone. The third theme momentarily shifts dynamic and features the percussion and brass sections, before returning the melody back to the strings. Resuming control, the strings lead the ensemble into the fourth theme- a slightly livelier and more percussive variation of the first theme. The last theme is the finale, which changes tempo greatly towards the end through the use of rallentando and ritardando. These tempo reductions, along with the brass fanfares and percussive crashes help imply the ending of a grand adventure.
 
The '''''Kingdom Hearts'' 20th Anniversary Event''' performance of "Hikari -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-" is played on solo piano. It is nearly identical in structure to the original orchestral arrangement.
 
==="HIKARI -KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental Version-"===
"HIKARI -KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental Version-" is approximately one minute and nine seconds long in both versions of ''Kingdom Hearts''. The piece has a time signature of 4/4 and a tempo of 74 beats per minute.
 
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 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 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.

:No matter what the time
:I'm just alone
:Destiny forgotten,
:Even though I kept going.
:Inside of the sudden light I awaken
:In the middle of the night


:Quietly, stand in the exit way
:In the pitch-black, take the light


:And about the recent promises, is it just that I'm so anxious?
:A wish that's wanting to be said, but shall be repressed
:I'll introduce my family
:You'll surely get along well


:No matter what the time
:We'll always be together
:No matter what the time
:Because you're by my side
:The light known as "you" finds me
:In the middle of the night


:Enter a noisy street
:Put on the mask of destiny.


:I'll stop doing things that have no meaning, like thinking about the future.
:Today I'll eat delicious things.
:The future is always before us
:Even I don't know it.


:It's not necessary to go right to the end,
:Just keep going.
