Re: Haunting Chorus [The World Is Healed] - M1023 or M1017?

I revised the cue sheets for the DBZ movies back when I did the same for the OG DragonBall movies. I simply never got around to putting the Z revisions online. Same for the tenth anniversary movie (Path to Ultimate Strength). Guess that's something I ought to add to my to-do list in a few days, as s...

Re: Why was the Kikuchi score so inconsistently mixed?

Do you know if Toei or Columbia still have the components of the music to re-mix the songs in stereo? I would assume they do, but just have been lazy. Well, I've finally gotten around to working on a translation of the 5-disc Zenshuu booklet, and here's a little, not-so-encouraging snippet: DISC 2 ...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

Don't have time to check right now, but I'm pretty sure that's "DragonBall's Final Fantasy", and it debuted in the episode when the evil Shen Long emerged from the DragonBalls (before he split into seven dragons).

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

With the passing of the maestro that was Kikuchi, I wish more than ever that his entire work on DB/DBZ was released. You and me both. It's FAR past time we got a new BGM release of the classic Kikuchi material, but my hopes aren't high. Also, since the last substantial one was 15 years ago, there's...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

I seem to remember a regular reader mentioning to me that they were sure that particular instance of the cue was an alternate. That prompted me to scrutinize it more closely, and I suppose at the time I must have heard something that seemed different, or it might have just been the power of suggesti...

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

The odd thing is, for that particular track ("Wild Boy", disc 2 track 13), the booklet only lists F37, A9, G12 and I19. It gets even weirder: G12 is described as being played a lot when the good guys have an accidental encounter with an enemy. "Accident" is the word they use ( ak...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

it's kind of strange that Ghastel has a theme at all, considering it only shows up in two BGM. Seems to suggest he might have originally been intended to play a somewhat larger role, else why give him a theme? Well, it's only five notes :) I'm sure giving him a leitmotif just had to do with introdu...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

Ah, that makes sense; I don't think you used that term in previous instances. The documentation on my site for the three DB movies is different in style from the TV episodes; this is because I redid my cue sheets for the movies about five or six years ago, and I wanted improvement and as much info ...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

Source music is the industry term for music in a film that the characters can hear (diegetic music). This can *sometimes* take the form of stock, but I've always been under the impression the aerobics cue from Sleeping Princess is indeed Kikuchi.

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

They could be. You have to remember, I've always considered my documentations guesswork that could change the moment we got new official information, certainly nowhere near the gospel truth until such info might surface. Sometimes my guesswork lost its logic and went a little off the rails while doc...

So while I was trying to edit Demon Battle into the version that plays during the Gokuu vs Chi Chi fight, I found that the song actually isn't a loop; there's a noticeably different melody here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ0bbhQHKno&t=43s compared to https://youtu.be/KT0ODz_To-M?t=15 Does...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

I think this is what I get for putting the documentation out there while it was still imperfect (also, at the time, I didn't have the greatest knowledge of some of the ins and outs of BGM). I've actually known about or suspected a lot of these errors for many years now. Some of them I even knew from...

Re: Veteran members, share your stories?

I think my first experience with the site had to do with all the video clips Mike had up on one of the pages (this would have been about 2000-2001). It wasn't my very first exposure to the Japanese version, but it was pretty close. These clips were mostly from fansubs - the ones I specifically recal...

I have question regarding a particular BGM. Is M644 the alternate to M631? Or are they the same track? M644 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9wZZELD2Ak M631 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ismqv3rePuo M644 plays on Dragon Ball episode 140 in the scene "Roshi is somber". It sounds like the...
