    UPDATED: For the second time, over the past few years, her father has retracted his statement:

    Since Kingdom Hearts II, fans have been wondering if Utada Hikaru would return to write another song for Kingdom Hearts III. It's certainly been a winding road to get here--Utada herself at one point said she wouldn't due to issues with Disney over payment, then her father at another point Tweeted that she would, then immediately recanted. Now, with Utada fresh off her five-year hiatus from music, we have official confirmation that she is indeed writing a brand-new song for Kingdom Hearts III!

    The confirmation comes from her father's Twitter, and this time, it seems to be for real. "Actually we have already started," he says in the Tweet. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

    While we wait to hear the new song, we'll still have the Simple and Clean (Ray of Hope) Mix EP releasing on iTunes on January 11 to tide us over. The EP is available for pre-order now.

      About freakin' time! I'm glad that KH3 will avoid the reuse of an older song. I felt Hikari/Simple & Clean has been b*****dized over the years with its endless reuse, and I hope 0.2 BBS will be the last time it's used. While reused as well, Passion/Sanctuary wasn't reused as much, and thankfully, still has that "new car smell" feel to it whenever I listen to it even after 11 years of its release. I hope the same happens with the new KH3 theme, and it doesn't suffer the same fate as Hikari/Simple & Clean.

      Oh happy day! I love Simple and Clean, but I really was looking forward to a new song. Glad Utada will still be singing it!

      Wonder what it'll be this time. There was big different between Simple & Clean and Sanctuary, so I wonder if it'll be a big change like that

      Well, If we do, I'm making a Kim Possible reference ASAP

      I'm beyond excited. I also wonder what the song will be like since Simple & Clean and Passion are quite different. It's anyone's guess since KH 3 will be an action packed conclusion to the Xehanort saga, yet her latest work is quite mellow compared to her past releases.

      **** YEAH, NO MORE REMIXES OF PAST SONGS.

      But still, it bothers me that Disney isn't paying her enough for her talent.

      They love to take advantage of foreign artistic talents.

      I'm not super surprised given how she shared the trailer & Nomura made her album art, but it's really awesome to see this confirmed, and I can't wait to hear the opening when it's time to boot up the game.

      I don't know what is going on here, but this being the second time he's retracted Utada's involvement with KH3, I really think he should just stop tweeting confirmations and giving us false hope. I'll only trust official confirmations regarding Utada's involvement from now on.

      ... Again? He must really love getting our hopes up. I hope they make it official. W/ her comeback fresh out the oven you'd think this would be a no brainer. (great way to promote the comeback not only in Japan but in the US as well)

      I'm willing to bet money they ARE working on a song, but they're not allowed to say so officially yet.
