Sparking Series Japanese Music

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

I just checked BT3's end credits and I can confirm its music was composed by Kishi just as Raging Blast's was. It seems BT2 was the only one which got the nice treat of having several composers for different sections of its soundtrack.

Thanks for the info. That probably explains why it was so good.

Indeed... that also explains why for BT3, when asked if the Japanese DBZ BGM would remain unlike BT2, they explained that the game would have "Japanese music", which is probably their misinterpretation of the question... the questioner was asking about "the Japanese music", and the answer they got was about "music from Japan".

That's funny considering all of BT2's replacement soundtrack's composers were Japanese as well. It seems the only real difference is that BT3's music was just composed by a different person.

Do you have any concrete information anywhere (website links?) about the tracks and their composers?

Like I said, it's in the BT2 end credits. They list different sections of the OST composed by different teams near the end.

I thought that Raging Blast and BT3 were composed by Yamamoto???

Nah, there's a massive difference between their composition styles.
In all seriousness, with my Sparking! bashing aside, I have the soundtracks for Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 on my iPod
I do like Kishi's tracks a lot. It sounds like he's trying to mimic Yamamoto a lot of time, incorporating his stylised sax solos into his Dragon Ball music, but they're enjoyable still.
Thing is the difference in quality, Yamamoto's music is much higher in production value, the recording sounds like it was intended to be listened to on a high quality stereo system, his music sounding crisp and clear. Kishi's on the other hand is clearly for video game only purposes. Not that that's bad, but the difference is clear.
Kishi's tracks are fighting game songs which play it safe, you don't really need the visuals, it just has that vibe coming from the music, it's fast paced and dramatic. Yamamoto is much more experimental with his music, using as many instruments as he can get his hands on.
