TheThe Faulconer Score, Reimagined in the Kikuchi style

Post by jjgp1112 » Tue Feb 17, 2026 12:12 pm

Figured Fan-Created Works was a better place for this.

I've been remaking songs from the Faulconer score in the style of the Japanese score, because I've always felt the composition of a lot of songs on the dub score are strong in spite of the limited equipment and time. So I've been using FL Studio and live orchestra samples to reimagine them as if Kikuchi composed them.

Super Namekian Piccolo
Perfect Cell Runs
Vegeta
Super Saiyan Goku (I'm working on redoing this, it sounds to modern and hollywood lmao)
Vegeta Fights Frieza
Super Saiyan Vegeta

I'm playing around w/ the idea of compiling them into albums by saga
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
Cold World (Fanfic)

This is a really neat idea. It's so funny how the Piccolo theme keeps sounding like it's going to lead into his Kikuchi leitmotif and then just kinda...doesn't. A lot of these sound really good!

Thanks! That actually wasn't even intentional, it's just once you change it from G-Minor to F-Minor a lot of the chords wound up being similar, nice happy accident.

My lastets one, this probably came out the most Kikuchi-esque so far as far as ones that aren't just taking a Kikuchi track and switching the melody:
