Displeased with Original Yamamoto Kai Music Placement

Post by dbboxkaifan » Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:23 pm

Well, I see people complaining about the replacement music in Kai (I see why), but the original Yamamoto Kai placement didn't suit me very much.

For Trunks Vs. Freeza (where he slices him) these would've fit better (imo)
1 - The Braveheart Challenges the Strong (Vol. 1) < I know this was used on Nicktoons' Airing Kai
2 - The Formidable Warrior, the Saiyan (Vol. 1)
3 - Scampering Battle (Vol. 1)
4 - Disastrous Spectacle (Vol. 2)
5 - Emergence New Enemies (Vol. 3)
6 - Fierce Battle (Vol. 3)

So not even the original Yamamoto Kai placement is flawless, it may be to others, but not to me.

My favourite for this is indeed the replacement music version.

Who ever said Yamamoto's music selection was flawless? LOL, Nagasaki is like the worst sound director ever. be it on yamamoto or kikuchi. But even with that. Kikuchi mix is just disastrous. and it's not even half the music that was used in Z. I'm sick of hearing every track repeating on every episode. with no new selection per arc. Atleast some of yamamoto's music was written to picture, so it sometimes had that brilliant movie feel. And new music came up with each new arc. I love kikuchi but not in Kai. I sincerely prefer Yamamoto.... and of course Hiroshi Takaki! I hope they release his music someday because I would import the hell out of it from Ecuador. That guy has talent!! I would have never been able to put the phrase "Symphonic Masterpiece" alongside "Dragonball music" if it weren't from him. His music is just.... wow....

There's a similar thread I posted before: http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/viewtopi ... 16&t=16381

The Yamamoto score sure was badly placed, but now things are even worse, so I kind of miss the original placement, though.

True, very true, So Kei... i got a question. do you know by any chance if the exact same staff that worked on Kai worked for the new animations? (PTETSS, EoB, Ultimate Tenkaichi)? because the music selection, especially on the EoB was really good.... Or maybe it was because most of the music was written to picture.... D:
