As many are aware by now, the Japanese and international (NA/EU) release of Final Fantasy XIII will have completely different theme songs. The Japanese release will have its theme song performed by Suguwara Sayuri, titled Kimi ga Irukara (君がいるから) while the international release’s theme song will be performed by Leona Lewis, titled My Hands.
The Xbox360’s release will not be targeted towards the NA/EU community first, no news were mentioned for a Japanese release. Of course, this will on a multiple disc package as Xbox360 employs a different media from PS3.
Here are 2 videos of the theme songs (watch while it lasts), which is your favorite ? Let us know by taking part in a simple poll below

Ooga you cow, it’s Leona Lewis, not Donna Lewis!
oops. edited :3
Also, “My Hands” will never win over “Kimi ga Iru Kara”, the Japanese song has so much meaning over the “My Hands” ._.

The FF XII theme is a Leona Lewis song? 0_o
I actually really like the song. This could be interesting.
Dear Squeenix: Please let us download the Japanese intro song so we can choose between them. I much prefer Sayuri’s song to Lewis’.

I think the problem is that as final fantasy gamers we’ve always looked forward to the new japanese song, and the english translation to the same music in some form. This is the first time international users have been forced to listen to a song that wasnt made directly for a final fantasy sound track, she’s much more concerned with making a song to appeal to other people and therefore make other people play the game that we are all waiting for…and still waiting here in the uk. why does everything have to be in march. It’d be nice if they let us have the japanese theme though, I don’t need xfactor expressing its powers over games too
