Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
With the Kikuchi Score being the norm for Kai now, that will make the Kai sets with the Yamamoto Score a lot more valuable, especially Part 4. Good thing I bought them on Blu-Ray while I could. I knew somehow it'd pay off. 

"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.

I can't believe they're using the Kikuchi score so soon in America. Also there is an error in my TV's guide saying that Dragon Ball(Not Z) was going to be on at 10:30(about now) today on Toonzai. That would've been odd but cool.

Watching DBZ Kai on Toonzai(for the first time actually). As a pretty big Kikuchi fan, I've gotta say, I hate it here. For DBZ, Kikuchi fits the pacing perfectly. But here, Yamamoto's, while not a great overall score, was fitting for this pacing. Not to mention, I just don't care for the placement of Kikuchi's score in Kai. I guess I can't be dissapointed per-se. They did switch all the music in all these episodes in what, a week? People said they were airing with the Z score only a few days later, so who knows how fast it was done.
Damn, what a true mess of a product Kai turned out to be.

Toei just did it for the money. I'm sure they didn't put much time and effort into Kai.spikevegeta wrote:Damn, what a true mess of a product Kai turned out to be.

Kei I noticed that you have experience in isolating audio, do you think it'd be possible to somehow get rid of the harmonica in the track?kei17 wrote:That track really reminds me of David Wise's music for Donkey Kong Country.MetalMadness wrote:Does anyone else really get bothered by the track "Ominous Silence" from the OST?
It would be totally eerie and perfect if it weren't for that stupid instrument that plays (not sure what it is called) that just sounds so off tune and misplaced that it ruins the track. There is a very short moment where the instrument isn't heard, and it sounds perfect, then it comes back in and it ruins it. Anybody else know what I'm talking about?
Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
Too bad Yamamoto's score had very little variation to it, which resulted in the same five tracks being constantly used. I love Yamamoto's score, but even I can admit that his score was severely lacking, especially when it called for emotion of different kinds.Zarathustra wrote:Absolutely agree. The Yamamoto score perfectly complemented the sped-up format of Kai. Kikuchi's just feels weirdly out-of-sync.

Oh, wow, it seems so out of place with Kikuchi's score....

Movie #3 choir music for the summoning of Porunga.
Over all...Nagasaki's music selection is more half-assed here than it was with the Yamamoto score. >_<

But isn't that what was used in Z? That seemed to be an incredibly appropriate piece. Or are you saying that because it was used for the same moment in Z?JulieYBM wrote:Movie #3 choir music for the summoning of Porunga.

Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Those comments are unrelated, although the scene is rushed in Kai.Gaffer Tape wrote:But isn't that what was used in Z? That seemed to be an incredibly appropriate piece.

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
Nicktoons goes back to showing repeats from the beginning on Monday, so I wonder if Yamamoto's score will still be used or if they'll switch to Kikuchi's score.

I'm not sure of the names of the pieces, but they're not recap or title card music...that's for sure. >_<Metalwario64 wrote:What? What's he using as recap and title card music?JulieYBM wrote:Gah, Nagasaki...just use the damn recap and title card music for recaps and title cards. >_<
Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
Question: Are the insert songs subject to being replaced as well?

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
I was wondering that also, since I thought it was just the BGM was going to be replaced and everything else would be intact. Will the insert songs be removed as well? I really loved them :/gmster wrote:Question: Are the insert songs subject to being replaced as well?

If Yamamoto had anything to do with those insert songs, then they will be replaced.
So mondo lame.
Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss
Then I guess the question is, did Yamamoto compose the insert songs? Man, if he did then this sucks. I was really hoping to hear Saiyan Blood and Super Dragon Soul on Toonzai, in all it's Engrish glory. The fact that it would air on a 4kids block would have made it all the more sweeter. Well, shit.
