Main article: Music of Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy III was scored by Nobuo Uematsu, and it is Uematsu's 21st work of video game music. Several of the game's songs were used in Chocobo Racing, including the opening theme ("Crystal Cave") and the final battle theme. Final Fantasy III: Yūkyū no Kaze Densetsu, an arranged album by Uematsu featuring vocals by Dido, a Japanese vocal duo of Michiaki Kato and Shizuru Ohtaka, was also released. The score was later arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito and Keiji Kawamori for the Nintendo DS version as the Final Fantasy III: Original Soundtrack.
