Aqua is a strong, yet somber, character in Birth By Sleep--although she is given the honor of being named Keyblade Master, she arguably suffers the most out of the Wayfinder Trio.
This arrangement explores Aqua's despair during the events of 0.2 while making subtle nods to her memories of her friends. String clusters, brass bends, and nontraditional percussive elements help to give the listener a sense of the frustration Aqua must have felt while trapped in the Realm of Darkness.

PROJECT DESTATI: DARKNESS
In celebration of KINGDOM HEARTS and the stunning melodies of Yoko Shimomura, Utada Hikaru, Takeharu Ishimoto, and Tsuyoshi Sekito, we present Project Destati’s second volume.
DARKNESS is the highly-anticipated follow-up album to Project Destati’s 2014 Billboard-charting soundtrack album “LIGHT.” The album is a musical amalgamation of fan-favorite themes from the KINGDOM HEARTS series, re-assembled in an all-new fashion like long-forgotten memories.
Featuring a live string orchestra and industry-leading soloists, DARKNESS is a dark, grand, and mysterious musical experience that aims to capture Tetsuya Nomura’s own imagination.

You see here, the last person to use 'Aqua' and 'Darkness' in the same sentence without anyone having a heart attack.
-
As of the E3 trailers, "Aqua" being in the Darkness collection is extremely fitting
-
Anyone noticed Sora, Riku, and Kairi's theme is in Destati: Light, and Ven, Aqua, and Terra's theme in Destati: Darkness?
-
That ticking/ clicking sounds in part of the song kinda make me feel like Aqua's time is running out in the realm of darkness. Like she only has enough time before she becomes.... becomes.... I CAN'T SAY IT. 😭
-
This is a surprising yet very beautiful intake on Aqua's theme, I can really feel her despair through it! Definitely one of my very favourite characters of the Kingdom Hearts series!
-
Endless walking Walking for years Years alone in the darkness Darkness, slowly crushing my heart Heart, yearning for a chance Chance, just one, to see my friends Friends, safe in the light... So I hoped
-

Okay, but that piccolo excerpt of kairi's theme around 1:11 was completely uncalled for. I love it.
-
An unbreakable Connection
-
I’ve waited for so long... No help ever came... I wandered the Shadows endlessly... You shouldn’t have abandoned me... You don’t know what true loneliness is Now You Can Share In The Terror I’ve Felt
-
PD + Yoko = Glorious soundtrack
-
Like the ebb and flow of the water in which Aqua's named after.
-
You've made me cry every single day with each new song release. Im not going to have enough tears to shed when KHIII comes out at this rate.
-
It's just... so peaceful, you know that you guys have such an incredible talent..
-
This suddenly weighs heavier on my mind that her theme is included in Darkness... how did you guys know? 😭
-
And the feels got to me!😭
