[@DavidRussell323]

I love every time you perform this piece--this version is especially nice for combining so many ideas from all the best versions out there!

[@MoisesNieto]

Yey thank you so much David T_T Your comment means a lot, really appreciate it!

[@joschujohann4717]

My wife and I just got married and my groomsman and I just walked down the isle to this exact rendition. Thank you 🙏

there are many worlds, but they share the same sky. one sky, one destiny

[@TotoroBoboro]

This arrangement is so good. As a massive fan of the Kingdom Hearts series, this is super good and unique while still being faithful to the original. I’ve always loved the part at 1:19 especially!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much Michael! I'm also a huge KH fan, I always wanted to play Hikari / Simple and Clean but couldn't find decent sheet music so I knew I had to eventually create my own arrangement, I'm glad you've liked the result hehe, really appreciate it!

[@andrewsigns]

will never stop coming back to this man 😭 easily the best version on youtube no one else incorporates the english lyrics you do it so good

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Andrew!! I wanted to reference the English version of the song too since most of the covers are only based on the Japanese version and I'm glad you liked that hehe, arranging this was a bit hard but I'm proud of the result!

[@haruobe_]

光🗝✨ どんな時だって たった一人で 運命忘れて 生きてきたのに 突然の光の中、目が覚める 真夜中に 静かに出口に立って 暗闇に光を撃て 今時約束なんて不安にさせるだけかな 願いを口にしたいだけさ 家族にも紹介するよ きっとうまくいくよ どんな時だって ずっと二人で どんな時だって 側にいるから 君という光が私を見つける 真夜中に うるさい通りに入って 運命の仮面をとれ 先読みのし過ぎなんて意味の無いことは止めて 今日はおいしい物を食べようよ 未来はずっと先だよ 僕にも分からない 完成させないで もっと良くして ワンシーンずつ撮って いけばいいから 君という光が私のシナリオ 映し出す もっと話そうよ 目前の明日の事も テレビ消して 私の事だけを見ていてよ どんなに良くったって 信じきれないね そんな時だって 側にいるから 君という光が私を見つける 真夜中に もっと話そうよ 目前の明日の事も テレビ消して 私の事だけを見ていてよ

[@KyloCarDenier]

I listen to this before I sleep. Some points in the nights that i wake up, I have tears rolling down my face. You are the only one who has done this. You play this so "simple and clean" (no pun intended) that it calms me and soothes my nerves on a bad day. Thank you for this.

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much for listening to this and for leaving such a beautiful comment! I'm glad to hear it helps you to fall sleep, that's awesome 😭

[@jacksoningram4314]

Wow, that was gorgeous. I've saved sooooo many covers of Hikari, but this one really feels special. I love how you've drawn inspiration from Utada's own variations of it, and really infused each section with a distinct emotional weight. Really fabulous job!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much Jackson!! T_T So glad you've enjoyed it! I really love Hikari so I knew creating a piano solo arrangement would be challenging, it could be better but I'm satisfied with the result!

[@Moonshinne]

When it comes to kingdom hearts piano pieces the one piece you have to nail is Hikari and you completely nailed it

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!! I had wanted to play Hikari for such a long time and I was so happy when I finally arranged it and recorded it, I'm glad you liked it!

[@jasminepinheiro4293]

I am so moved by you, I got emotional. I am about to start learning the piano again after many years, and you have absolutely inspired me. This will be my goal piece, and I will use it as my motivation through my lessons especially since this is one of my Husband’s favorite games. Thank you for sharing the sheet music and such a beautiful talent with the world, I appreciate so much!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment Jasmine ;w; Glad to hear you've liked it so much, feel honored to know it inspired you to keep playing!! 💙

[@Majotsukai]

I never understood how the piano could be so emotionally evocative; but it is, and this performance had streams of reverence and appreciation falling from my eyes because of how well you played. Absolutely beautiful. Phenomenal job.

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, really appreciate it!! 😭🩵 I recently re-recorded this one, the new version is a bit more controlled, here's the link in case you're interested hehe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4qlhoKFrpqqiNEsi=L9RzUZzAtBN3KW1z

Verse 1] You're giving me Too many things lately You're all I need, oh 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" [Chorus] 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 [Interlude] (So simple and clean) [Verse 2] The daily things (Like this and that and what is what) 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 [Chorus] 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

[@KennethWayne]

I just couldn't stop rewinding. Your expression is so passionate. What an inspiration.

[@MoisesNieto]

Aww thank you so much Kenneth, really appreciate it!! 💙

[@jessicarilloraza9198]

This is THE most beautiful arrangement of simple and clean I’ve ever heard and I’ve been a Kingdom Hearts fan since KH1. As an intermediate piano student, this makes me feel more excited about learning piano! 😊 Also, thank you for the sheet music!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much, really appreciate it!! I worked really hard to make Hikari work on piano, glad you enjoyed my version ;w; I'm sure you'll enjoy playing it!

[@thtsmypurseidkyou]

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 It's enough when I say so And maybe some things are that simple Donna toki datte zutto futari de Donna toki datte soba ni iru kara Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru Mayonaka ni Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo Miteite yo 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

Wow this is so good, this actually had me a little teary eyed. Well done, you’re so talented!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!! 🩵

[@ariansalamat2164]

This arrangement is amazing, I played KH as a kid and this brought back so many memories and nostalgia. The essence of this song is so powerful, and I really enjoyed the way you played this. I'm definitely going to try to learn this! Also thank you for linking the sheet music too :)

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Arian! Glad you've liked the arrangement, I had a hard time writing it cause I wasn't sure how to portray some of its part as a piano solo piece~ After many attempts I was pretty happy with the final result, thanks again for your nice comment!

[@Scrumpetsheep]

As i get older the series of Kingdom Hearts always seems kind of like a silly blurb in my timeline of interests. But the music always stood out to me. There is something significant about the music in this game. it conveys the story and tone of the game SO well. your rendition of this song is so passionate and captures the original essence of the game. Yet its so original. The way you voice some of the parts *chef kiss*

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!! I agree, I feel the music fits so well in the KH universe c: I really love this series and did my best at arranging / recording this version, so really appreciate your nice words!! ❤️

[@Ksjusghebs]

OH kingdom hearts album is my all time fav. You played it so well. thanks for uploading this wonderful piece

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! Hikari is such an iconic theme, glad you've liked my piano version! c:

[@midzyryeong]

could you possibly do a medley/mashup of Hikari, Sanctuary, and Oath? i think that would be so cool!

[@MoisesNieto]

Yeah that's a cool idea! I don't think I'll do it soon but I'll write it down, maybe in the future! c:

I am an absolute fan and am in awe of how you play the piano, its sounds so full and inspiring. The kingdom hearts is also my favorite video game series lol. I have an easy version of hikari that I am learning to play and perfect but yours is so much more detailed and personalized. Thank you for playing and sharing your music!!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much Nik! I had been playing a simpler version of Hikari for many years so maybe it was the same arrangement hehe, I really wanted to create a richer arr. so eventually I did it, glad you've liked it!

[@NamiNomura]

Thats so beautiful. One of my favorite songs from Utada Hikaru. Thank you for this

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! Same, Utada really made an unbelievable job composing and singing this!

[@jesselyes874]

someone said "The Promised Neverland"?? O_O

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much T_T It really helps a lot!! I've listened to Emma's sorrow and it sounds beautiful~ The melody is very similar to the Isabella's Lullaby which I recently played so I don't know if I'll play Emma's one soon, but maybe in the future!
