That...was a surprisingly difficult quiz. After song 9, I legit was having trouble distinguishing except for obvious KH songs I knew by heart.

[@BlameJeux]

Same here, got 3 wrong and I was quite surprised by some of those!

[@CanisMythson]

I came into this with limited knowledge of both, and got about 70% right. It was more music theory then anything else; with a few exceptions, the Kingdom Hearts songs were constructed with many different instruments forming different melodies in unison, sometimes creating dissonance with each other in the more combat oriented themes. The Weather Channel, meanwhile, had more basic pieces with bombastic repeating melodies meant to catch your attention. There was only a few that didn't follow that simple formula.

[@Kitsunekone]

That's how I saw it, yeah. The Weather Channel used generic bombatic pieces and Kingdom Hearts was meant to involve more instrumentation and weave a melody together. Some I already knew, but the ones I didn't, I tried to apply that same logical process to them.

[@Hexagonaldonut]

In my case it was mostly a vibe check (minus the two appearances of that one from 2006 that I caught immediately), particularly catching some because they either sounded *too* dark and ominous or too peppy to make sense for Weather Channel, but there was also one where I listened to it and was quickly "this sounds too much like an actual orchestra, there's no way it's Weather Channel" and was spot-on.

[@taylorsackett2556]

Oh 100%, at a certain point I realized that I was less trying to recognize the songs and more looking for notable leitmotifs and key changes that Kingdom Hearts songs all tend to have

[@50percentpotato29]

[@callie-flower3177]

it also helps that if you're really familiar with yoko shimomura's style of composing, it becomes a LOT easier to point out her tracks from the rest (i played... a lot of final fantasy 15 which she composed for, and they had at least a handful of kh-reminiscent tracks)

[@joshuadelorme-novakowski2114]

Man, this was really fun to do. Thanks for compiling this. I got three wrong myself, the Rinzler theme, the dream drop distance drop theme, and the Union cross theme. It was challenging but very satisfying. I found that not trying to remember every song in the series, rather remembering what instruments they usually use helped a lot. So when you hear a song using an instrument they never really use, it was probably a weather channel song. The most obvious were the coded one, cause it clearly was a DS midi or something similar sounding, and the weather channel song with bad quality, since KH has clear music everywhere.

[@starrodpiplup]

19 out of 21. I've never played a KH game (I want to someday). I know just enough about Shimomura's style to recognize it. It also helps having known the 2006 Storm Alert theme ahead of time.

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

I'm actually amazed at how many I clocked as weather channel specifically because I heard some instrument in the soundfont or some mixing layer that I knew would never be in any kingdom hearts game, or that were even consistent among the weather channel songs. Like one of them had a sort of "scruffing" sound that felt incongruous with the KH soundtracks. The ones I got wrong were all ones I guessed were also weather channel but turned out to be from games in the series I hadn't played like Coded or BBS, so that was really cool in contrast with my 8 year old brain clocking every single KH2 track from note 1. What a fascinating video!

[@nightcaller92]

Very clever using the gummi ship music for this! I'm familiar enough with Kingdom Hearts music that I could tell most of the Weather Channel songs right away because of elements that sounded distinctly unlike Kingdom Hearts, often the type of drumbeat and rhythms they used. The only one I missed was 15, though I had a close call with 2

Maybe I've listened to too many OSTs, but TV themes have to loop, have to have a feeling that doesn't detract from the spoken word, and they can't be too anxious or overpowering. Game OSTs on the other hand can change tempo, tone, instrumentation, keys, etc. while TV songs cannot. TV songs also can't play certain instruments or notes without seeming overly cheery. #11 genuinely surprised me, but #15 and #20 were easy to guess.

Four wrongs! Now I really need to check out that weather channel ost

Finally, my obsession with watching the weather channel and the KH series pays off.

This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen! WHY ARE THEY SO SIMILAR?! This is true music nerd humor😭

[@jaxpool155]

only missed one and i'm pretty proud! helps that i was super obsessed with kh music at the same time we would have weather channel on regularly lol one of the weather channel ones i legit remember hearing growing up! excellent selection of tracks for this

My main guessing pattern was going off the volume of the percussion. Weather channel songs tend to have it louder.

Bro i am ashamed to admit song number 9 got me. I've been playing KH since 2003 and i still got that one wrong 😭 WHY IS IT SUCH A BOP? Edit: 11 AND 12 TOO, WTF??? I'm half mad at myself and half surprised that the weather channel had such bangers! And i listened to Unbreakable Chains so much when i played BBS that 20 was easy peezy for me. That's literally my favourite part.
