Kingdom Hearts 4's First Official Track Finally Released

The first track from Kingdom Hearts 4's soundtrack, Reality in the Dark, has finally been released thanks to it being ripped from the 20th-anniversary vinyl collection.

It's been some time since we heard anything about Kingdom Hearts 4 (aside from the scary notion that something recently changed the series' whole direction), but it looks like 2023 might finally give us another look. Things are starting off strong as we're only three months into the year, and we've already got the first song from the Game's official soundtrack, Reality in the Dark.

Interestingly, Square Enix itself hasn't shared the track officially yet, instead putting it on the Kingdom Hearts 20th-anniversary vinyl LP box as a bonus track alongside the rest of the songs in the series. Kingdom Hearts fans who bought the vinyl LP, like YouTube user UmbraMuninn, have thankfully ripped the song from the vinyl and put it on YouTube so we can all give it a listen, this time without a bunch of battle noises.

Those of us who have watched the Kingdom Hearts 4 reveal a million times since it was released last year will no doubt remember Reality in the Dark as the track that plays throughout the trailer, from Sora waking up in Quadratum to him going up against the massive Heartless in the city. This time, however, there aren't any battle noises to distract from what is undeniably another banger from Yoko Shimomura.

This isn't the first time that Reality in the Dark has been played since Kingdom Hearts 4 was first revealed. Shimomura has been playing it live during showings of Kingdom Hearts Concert - Second Breath. Recording wasn't allowed during those concerts, as you'd expect, which means that this vinyl rip is the best way most of us have of listening to it. UmbraMuninn does note that the vinl rip does have some popping throughout, so let's hope that an official version of the track gets shared by Square Enix in the coming months.

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Image
Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...

Untrained bystanders can administer drone-delivered naloxone, potentially saving lives of opioid overdose victims

An onlooker – even one without prior training – can successfully administer naloxone to an overdose victim within about a minute of a drone delivering the lifesaving opioid reversal agent. That’s the key finding of my team’s newly published study. Naloxone is also known by the name brand Narcan. The study involved 17 participants responding to a simulated overdose . Each simulation included an un trained participant who portrayed a bystander , a box of naloxone deliver ed by drone , a mannequin as the overdose victim , and a panicked observer. The latter added a sense of urgency by continually shouting at the bystander throughout the simulation. Via a video playing on a screen carried by the drone, the bystander received instructions on how to use the naloxone, which is administered as a nasal spray. We timed each participant on how long it took them to correctly give the medication during this crisis moment. Our trial revealed that the average time for someon...
