And now for the final Oathkeeper, Kairi! She is a childhood friend of Sora and Riku, who originally came from Radiant Garden before ending up on Destiny Islands. She is a Princess of Heart, a being of pure light. Even after losing her heart when Destiny Islands was attacked, she never became a Heartless. Instead, her body remained in a comatose state while her heart took shelter within Sora. It was also thanks to Kairi's power that she was able to restore Sora after he sacrificed himself to free her heart, turning himself into a Shadow in the process. Kairi's letter opened a path home for Sora and Riku at the end of Kingdom Hearts II after they were trapped in the Realm of Darkness, and she also kept Sora from fading away after the guardians of light were wiped out at the Keyblade Graveyard, giving him a chance to use the power of waking to save everyone. Saying that Kairi is Sora's special someone would honestly be understating it, and she's not as useless as some detractors in the Kingdom Hearts fandom make her out to be. She has a ton of potential as a guardian of light that I'm hoping to see more of in Kingdom Hearts IV. I also absolutely adore her theme music, and I wish she was playable in this game outside The Final World, especially since Melody of Memory is technically her first solo game.

Kairi's default outfit in Rock Band is based off her KHIII outfit. Normally it's pink and black, but this outfit comes with alternate color schemes called Forms (taken from the Formchange mechanic in Kingdom Hearts III). First Form uses her color scheme from the first Kingdom Hearts game, which is personally my most favorite one. She also has a Sora Form I that gives her Sora's color scheme from the same game, along with a Kingdom Key guitar.

Getting All Excellents took quite a while on this one. The sustained notes that end with a double note at the end took a good number of attempts to nail. Good thing this song is short. Got one more Melody of Memory video tomorrow before we return to Rock Band on Thursday.
