When the point of the games is to replicate the speed, intensity, and drama of the anime... well, it makes perfect sense to me to have the appropriate music carried over. I cannot even fathom playing through the
Sparking! seires
without said music -- I would say I don't know how some of you did it with the American releases, but I just did it over the last two years with the two
Raging Blast games, myself. That being said, I noted with both of those games how something was clearly lacking from the experience, and it was amazing to drop the Kikuchi score in and see just how much it brought a smile to my face and (likely false

) enjoyment to the gaming experience.
Things like the
Budokai series? Sure, new music makes sense (particularly when it's as awesome of a score as Yamamoto and Tower of Power put together). These games, though? Kikuchi or GTFO
