Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Time to show off my updated collection: https://i.imgur.com/Z7ZTgfj.jpg When I posted an image of my stuff 4 years ago, I had a considerably smaller number of things. I thought I'd present the updated collection. On the upper shelf there are books from Koro-chan Packs, of which I had only 9 back the...

Re: Audio differences between DBZ movies on DBox and on drama tapes

I've edited the thread opener for one last time. I've inserted the legendary Movie 1 tape, which I was looking to buy for the past 9 years! Sorry for the huge case of necroposting here... However, I think it can be forgiven in this case. This thread is about all the differences between the drama tap...

Re: Reworked Dragon Ball BGM Documentation

Very good work! I can recognise some improvements and it shows you were being extremely thorough when correcting the documentation. One can now find any unreleased track easier than before. Also amazing YouTube channel! I love the fact that Kikuchi's Dragon Ball cues are still being worked on. Pleas...

Re: Turtle-chan’s Great Dragon Ball Broadcast/カメちゃんのドラゴンボール大放送

Thanks! The best thing is that there's more to come... But you need to wait like 3-4 weeks. Then there most probably will be a direct sequel to this thread (depending whether a tape will arrive to me in a working condition or not but they can be played in about 95 % of cases). It's a lot work with t...

Turtle-chan’s Great Dragon Ball Broadcast/カメちゃんのドラゴンボール大放送

Hello again! I bought a new tape and this time it's one from the original Dragon Ball. Here's what I got: http://matela.stronazen.pl/9-dragon-ball-turtle-chans-great-dragon-ball-broadcast/ This isn't a typical drama cassette tape like the ones with the audio from the movies. Those tapes contain soun...

Re: Shunsuke Kikuchi has passed away

Rest in peace, maestro. Your legacy won't be forgotten any time soon. Your soul and heart that you've poured into your music can still be heard in all those friendly and peculiar tracks that you've created over decades. And that makes you live in our memories. So I don't feel sad because I can alway...

Re: The peculiar case of G12 (Mai's News of the Valley)

My nickname was mentioned in the opening post so I'm gonna explain why assume that these are separate tracks. First of all, it doesn't make much sense to me to record one singular track with parts of it that have two completely different vibes to them and then never use it fully. Instead have the mu...

A curious tape with DBZ Movie 11 and 13 fragments

I've recently bought yet another interesting tape. It is a part of this CD-cassette Pack: https://i.imgur.com/SRgUNTy.jpg This cassette has got songs from DBZ Movie 13, 11 and 10 (in that particular order on the album). Nothing special, just regular versions of those songs. But between these songs t...

Re: A very rare DB opening and ending instrumental

When the cover says "stereo," it doesn't automatically mean that all the tracks are stereo. The score of DBZ movie 1 was mixed only in mono, so I don't expect a stereo mix of the movie audio. Not necessarily. I own both versions (the full one and the shortened one) of DBZ Movie 2, 4 and 6...

Re: A very rare DB opening and ending instrumental

By the way, your site is interesting to read. I didn't know that a drama cassette of DBZ movie 1 ever existed. I wonder whether it's got any differences compared to the original audio. Thanks! I've entirely focused on Japanese cassette tapes when it comes to Dragon Ball. I own about 50 of them now ...

A very rare DB opening and ending instrumental

I've stumbled upon a cassette tape that contains some unique material that cannot be found outside of this tape. It's the second tape of the original Dragon Ball. It features the opening and ending themes from the anime. You can look it up on my site: http://matela.stronazen.pl/2-i-can-sing-kun-seri...

Re: New Complete M400 Unreleased / released link

Sorry, I got carried away. I can't fully speak for others but I think we just wanted to achieve the best possible version of unreleased products of this somewhat unexplored part of the franchise. I'm sure there was no corruptive intentions in any of our actions, just carelessness amidst fan-boyish e...

They will not release a cd ... We can't be sure of that. I still think they will release the complete soundtrack someday given the popularity of this music. and a lot of songs I think they don't even have them or who knows ... On the other hand, of this we can be sure. They definitely have all the ...

Re: New Complete M400 Unreleased / released link

I'm just using Audacity. Also, I haven't turned the back channels off but the center and front channels. The back channels were the only ones that I kept as they feature the least amount of voices (center channel) and sound effects (front channels). But they're not entirely free of those non-musical...

Re: New Complete M400 Unreleased / released link

Oh, gosh, sorry to dissappoint you but I'm no magician. I can't clean it up. As I mentioned before, in the case of M425EXT I merely took out both rear channels from the German 5.1 audio just as they were. I didn't do any clean up job, I don't know how to do these things. Still, the second half of M4...

Thanks for all your hard work and for your most recent upload. This file has some value. Despite the music being kinda quiet under all the voices and in low quality , this is the first time that the full instrumental of this cue has been uploaded! The show featured only a part of the instrumental. S...

Re: New Complete M400 Unreleased / released link

You did a great job and the best that could be done considering all the limitations. It's too bad that more couldn't be done about M425EXT since it's such a wonderful track. Here's what M425EXT sounds like when extracted from the rear channels of the German dub: http://matela.stronazen.pl/wp-content...

Also, can you answer this for me please? I forgot to ask it, but are the first 6 seconds of this part of A6? Or it's actually just another "F00" track and A6 actually starts from 0:06? I believe you gonna say the second subject :think: Sure. Of course, the first 6 seconds is a separate tr...

Re: For the Kikuchi's OST lovers - Can we all Assume that M249 and M250 are the same track?

I was always of the opinion that "Departing the Island" and "Kame Sennin speaks of friends" are one and the same cue. The reason being: BGM M250 actually plays right after the first half of M249 ends in the Movie, the last half of M249 simply is not used and it just cuts immediat...
