Yamcha's Other Theme Song.

Post by Kid Buu » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:05 am

In 2008 Toru Furuya, the voice of Yamcha, released an album called Heroes ~ to my Treasure ~. In this interview, he mentions that he wrote a lot of the songs based on characters he has voiced, including Yamcha. I found the song on youtube. Thoughts on this?

This is awesome! How did I only JUST hear this song. Looks like I have another CD to add to my wishlist. XD

So "Wolf Hurricane" was 1987 and this was 2008.

21 years later and sounds the exact same.

Naw, Yamcha's pretty cool for a gag character. He's probably the coolest character till Trunks comes along. I think anyways.

Oh wow, that's AWESOME. Thanks for the share, that's definitely something I wish I had heard sooner.

Reading the lyrics as it plays though, it's a pretty sad song in some ways. Hopeful, but sad.

Can this be added to the main website? I'd even be willing to do a write-up for it.

Very cool find dude. This song is very good and you can feel that Yamcha vibe in it. I'm unclear on what Ookami means though.
Edit: Nevermind, it means Wolf.

01. Nemuttamama dewa - Amuro Ray
02. Only One Shining Star - Pegasus Seiya
03. Reckless Throw - Hyuma Hoshi
04. Ookami - Yamcha
05. Everlasting My Love - Tuxedo Mask
06. Who is No. 1 - Kyōsuke Kasuga
07. Lalah no Yasoukyoku Nocturne - Amuro Ray

That's the full album and which song corresponds to which character.

Watched Kimagure Orange Road recently. Adds to the experience of the Kyōsuke Kasuga song on this album.
