Musical Composer of Raging Blast 2: Kishi or Yamamoto?

[kei17]

I used to think that the one who composed the BGM of Raging Blast 2 was Yamamoto, but many people here said it was done by Kishi Toshiyuki. According to his discography on the official site of Kishi, he actually composed the music for Raging Blast 1 and Tenkaichi Tag Team. However, Raging Blast 2 is not listed as his work. Then, some rip-offs in the BGM have been pointed out;

Raging Blast 2 - Pathos
Bullet For My Valentine - 4 Words (To Choke Upon)

You know, this kind of rip-off is a usual practice of Yamamoto, so I started thinking that the composer is Yamamoto instead of Kishi again. I googled this and found that Rakuten, one of most popular Japanese online stores, is listing Yamamoto as the composer on the page of the soundtrack CD of Raging Blast 2.

『DRAGON BALL RAGING BLAST 2 Original Soundtrack Overseas version』／CD
アーティスト：山本健司(音楽)／影山ヒロノブ ほか

In addition, I noticed that the release date of this CD has been delayed forever (it's almost canceled) just after Toei acknowledged Yamamoto's scandal. Therefore, these facts mean it was Yamamoto who composed the BGM for Raging Blast 2. At least that is my conclusion.

Can anyone confirm this? Is Yamamoto credited in the game?


*edit* This site says Yamamoto is the main artist, too.

Wow, that's an interesting turn of events. It'd certainly explain why the Raging Blast 2 soundtrack didn't come out.

Raging Blast 2's soundtrack was my favourite after Budokai trilogy. It's a shame it may never get released :/

Though that Pathos song is not that much of a ripoff....
