Thanks once again to goldpanner for her amazing translation skills, we bring you a brand new translation of a forgotten interview! This interview was done by Famitsu Weekly and released for their April 26th issue earlier this year, and was originally a two-part interview first with the Sound Team consisting of Yoko Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito, and the second with Co-Director Tai Yasue. Although it's a bit late, we hope you'll enjoy reading it!

While this isn't something we'd normally post about, it is no secret that we here on Kingdom Hearts Insider love ourselves some The World Ends With You! Earlier this evening a Japanese teaser site for The World Ends With You, known as It's A Wonderful World in Japan, opened up with a countdown.

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] has been out for just a few weeks, but don't think the news for it will stop! ABC featured the game last week in one of their daily technolgy news roundup videos, ABC TechBytes.

What a great surprise! It's been months since the last time the official North American KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance] website updated, but lo and behold, there it is, bright as day!

If you visit the site, you will be greeted by the long awaited arrival of the Downloads section, complete with a total of 4 wallpapers and 4 Facebook covers of both the original and inverted boxart and 2 versions of the logo and 4 sets of icon packs featuring Sora, Riku, Xehanort and Lea! There is also the arrival of the Gameplay section, that has yet to receive new content but currently features the Jump Festa 2012 Japanese trailer. We highly encourage you to check them out!

You can view all officially released media for KH3D here in its respective gallery!

It's just a few days short of 2 weeks since KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance]'s North American release, and all of us are still occupied with post-game content or chugging through Critical Mode playthroughs and challenges. Here's a little something our brand new translator Zephyr whipped together for everyone: the interview with Co-Director Tai Yasue from the KH3D Ultimania! Hope you didn't forget about that already, because I'm sure you'll enjoy the read!

As our KH3D spoiler ban will not lift until October 31st, please read with caution if you have yet to play or beat the game.

The official Japanese Kingdom Hearts twitter has presented a special treat for fans! Shiro Amano, mangaka for the Kingdom Hearts series, has illustrated a special wallpaper for its 10th Anniversary!

Joining the first KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance] novel, Side Sora, that was released on June 28th is the second novel for the title, Side Riku! Spanning a total of 242 pages, this will be released on September 27th, 2012 for 800 yen (roughly $10.18 USD)!

As I'm sure everyone is aware, Kingdom Hearts will be 10 years old on September 17th, 2012. To celebrate, a fan selection music collection has currently been in the works, and just today, series composer Yoko Shimomura has just reported on her twitter that the Master Discs for the collection has just been completed!

Today marks the release of Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] in North America, so hopefully all of you are currently exploring the Realm of Sleep in order to become true Keyblade Masters! For many of you, the wait has been since E3 2010 and for others you've only just learned of the game's existence. No matter how you came upon the game, I'm sure you all will enjoy what lies in store from the new installment of the Kingdom Hearts series!

In order to celebrate Kingdom Hearts 3D's release, we have a special treat for you! Last week, Joey (Chaser) and I (Master Spockanort) got the chance to interview Ben Diskin, voice of Young Xehanort!
