Well, as of yet it's only been announced for Japan, and since both Sora's sound exactly the same, there shouldn't be a problem.

The American Sora for KH1 was done by Haley Joel Osment right?
Did they use someone else for KH2, or did his voice just break or something?

Same actor. Poor kid hit puberty.

That's right.  And besides, the game has three independent plot arcs that I enjoyed quite a bit.  You've got the Jumi/Jewel Hunter story, the Larc/Draconis story, and the Matilda/Irwin story.

I always wondered that - was Sora voiced by the same person in the Japanese version or did they just have a girl do his voice initially or something and an older guy to do the second one?

As for the Chain of Memories thing, the booklet from TGS seems to indicate it will be a two disc set, so presumably one disc will be Chain of Memories and one will be KH2.

Uhhh.....he was voiced by the same GUY for both games.

That's what I was questioning - being that I didn't know for sure and young boys are often voiced by women in the world of Japanese voice acting, I wouldn't think it's too far fetched to have wondered if they did the same for younger Sora.  But apparently not!  And wow, that kid actually has done a lot of stuff, I see now that I've looked it up...

A trailer for Heroes of Mana has been released, and the tune that accompanies it is kind of....Legend of Mana-lite. Nothing I would listen to outside a game, but it sounds like Shimomura, sure enough...

*crosses fingers and hopes for something real special*

I like the idea of it being an RTS instead of yet another Tactics game, but damn does it look confusing in that video.  As for the music, I can't tell if that's Shimomura or not, but it sounded like very generic trailer music, so here's hoping it's not.

Edit: Just saw this: http://www.the-magicbox.com/0609/game060924i.shtml

Note the two screens with the SD3 characters and screen layout.  I'm not sure how this figures into the game, but now my curiosity is piqued more than ever (SD3 has always been my favorite of the SD series despite the language barrier).

This is a direct sequal to SD3, so they are probably in "what happened before" cutscenes.

The trailer music sounded exactly like Shimomura, but it's probably just made for the trailer. Anyhow, since it's a SE NDS game, a soundtrack is likely..

The music sounds like Shimomura but at the same time not.  Sort of like how I feel about a lot of her soundtracks, which I tend to think is a good thing.  Hoping it's good!  (though I'm not quite as excited as I am about FF versus XIII which might have her going back to a much darker style, ala Parasite Eve...)

Any soundtrack they make had better be a set that comes with the Children of Mana music and the Heroes of Mana music.  iTunes can rot.
