光, also known by its translitteration as Hikari, and also known internationally as Simple and Clean, is a song that plays in キングダムハーツ. It is the main theme of the game. It plays in both the opening and the ending, with two different versions.
Hikaru Utada / 宇多田ヒカル, a Japanese singer, sings the song in both the original Japanese and English versions. She would also sing the following songs in the series.
The song itself reappeared in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and its remake, as well as Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.
An orchestra version of the song plays in the first game's pre-intro, when the players lets the title screen rolling while not touching buttons. Additionally, this version also played for a bit near the end of Kingdom Hearts II. Additionally, an updated version of this was used near the end of Kingdom Hearts III.
A piano rendition of the song, titled "Sora's Sacrifice", plays during the protagonist of the same name sacrificing themselves by stabbing themselves into the heart in order to free the Princesses of Light.
A new remix of the song called Ray of Hope Mix was used in the video game Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

- PlantiB Remix version (opening)
You're giving me too many things lately You're all I need You smiled at me, and said Don't get me wrong I love you But does that mean I have to meet your father? When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said "No, I don't think life is quite that simple" When you walk away You don't hear me say please Oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before

When you walk away You don't hear me say please Oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go You're giving me too many things lately You're all I need You smiled at me, and said Don't get me wrong I love you But does that mean I have to meet your father? When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said "No, I don't think life is quite that simple" When you walk away You don't hear me say please Oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go The daily things that keep us all busy Are confusing me That's when you came to me and said Wish I could prove I love you But does that mean I have to walk on water? When we are older you'll understand It's enough when I say so And maybe some things are that simple When you walk away You don't hear me say please Oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before When you walk away You don't hear me say please Oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before
