So there’s all this nostalgic good cheer related to the Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary and I’m here for it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s also very funny/humbling to look back. Like I can’t be the only fan who was around when the first game came out and thought “that is objectively the stupidest concept for a video game that anyone has ever come up with it, I HAVE to play this to experience how bad and dumb it is myself”
smash cut to 20 years later and I’m an adult with a job and bills and a minimum of one (1) KH figure on my desk and a google docs tab open with a KH fanfic WIP and I’m posting about KH on tumblr dot com
I WASN’T ABLE TO DRAW SOMETHING IN TIME BUT HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO KINGDOM HEARTS!!
This video game series means so much to me in way I cannot describe. It’s helped me grow closer to my friends and brothers. It helped me grow more and more confident in my art from having to draw ridiculous silhouettes and obnoxious weapons.
It also helped me grow into the person I am now. And honestly, I probably wouldn’t be the person I am now without it. Riku especially. He was my first proper character cosplay and I’m only improving him as I go along.
although I’m upset about not getting anything done in time for the 20th Anniversary (adult life is hard), I’m glad I was able to even get this out before I start my day.
Tetsuya Nomura posted a preview of his art for Kingdom Hearts 20th! He also apologized for not having anything prepared for today. He thanked everyone for the congratulatory messages and started drawing the illustration yesterday. He hopes to finish in time for the event and thanks fans for their continued support! Will this be the illustration on display soon at the cafe?
Thank you so much for all these happy memories and journeys ❤✨
I never post much kingdom hearts fanarts due to the fact that I was never confident drawing Sora’s hair or I just keep them for myself ^^“
Kingdom hearts is one of the things I love the most and it’s part of me~ I still remember when my brother gave it to me when I was little because I used to watch him playing with it and kept asking if I could play too lol even now I still play it over and over and I’m so happy that I can finally see so many people that shares the same passion for it! ❤

Previously exclusive tin badges and stickers to the Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary cafe are now able to preorder online for 790 JPY and 610 JPY respectively at AmiAmi! This is a good indication that Square Enix online stores may start taking orders for other cafe items as well.
Tokyo Disney Ambassador Hotel is going to start selling the Kingdom Hearts 20th collaboration shoulder bag in the app! It isn’t exclusive to hotel guests and is limited to 2,500 orders. This is a great sign that maybe the bag may be available in other ways in the future.
