Despite the huge success of Kingdom Hearts in Japan already (over 850,000 copies have shipped since March), Square announced that they plan to release the game, retitled "Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix," will basically be a Japanese translation of the upcoming U.S. version, including the U.S. game's theme song “Simple and Clean” sung by Utada Hikaru in English, as well as some story and character surprises I know but don't want to spoil.



The game is set for release in not so distant future, or maybe in the distant future. I wouldn't know as they haven't set a release date yet.
