To promote the international formats of Kingdom Hearts, Utada recorded an English version of "Hikari", named "Simple & Clean". Both the original edit and remix version by PlanitB served as the international theme songs. It did not appear on Utada's English studio album Exodus (2004), but the original version was included on their 2009 English studio album This Is the One. The version was also included on the English release of Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack. It was released as an A-side 12-inch single with Utada's single "Colors" in 2003.
The Japanese versions peaked at #1 on the Japanese charts in 2002.
I think I do remember hearing the song in those Kingdom Heart commercials back then, but never knew that was her singing it til I started doing the Utada rankdown. It's definitely one of her best songs.
