Yamamoto Score Still Available?

Post by ricecake » Tue Nov 22, 2011 4:59 pm

I'm kind of late on watching Kai, and I was curious about the Yamamoto score for the series. Are the Blu-Ray "part" sets with the Yamamoto score still available, or have they all been replaced with Kikuchi? For example, Amazon has a "Saiyan Set" that has parts 1 and 2 bundled together; would this still have the Yamamoto score?

I am aware that according to the Yamamoto Feature on the site, it says that starting with Part 5, it will have Kikuchi, and the Yamamoto score for those episodes onward aren't available in America.

Parts 1 to 4 - Yamamoto DBK BGM
Parts 5 to 8 - Kikuchi DBZ BGM

FUNimation decided to delay Part 5 due to having replacing with the DBZ BGM.

While Part 5 does not contain Yamamoto's DBK BGM, in its slipcover/cover it features Yamamoto's name, guess they didn't want to waste any more paper so, this is how it is.

FUNimation really needs to get serious, they screwed up DBZ Kai Season One and now because of that set, any related releases will get pushed back. :?

I might be a bit late but what do you mean when you say that Funimation screwed up season one?

Season One was supposed to feature the Kikuchi BGM but some (?) of the discs came with the Yamamoto BGM instead.

Is this why there are no new copies of Season One on Amazon right now?

@Kendamu - That is my understanding of the situation.

So, is there a particular first set that anybody would recommend getting that would be representative of his music? This way I could watch and listen to it and decide whether to get the rest of them.

That never happens because Toei must have given FUNi the masters only with the Kikuchi score after the scandal.

And Toei probably trashed the masters for the Yamamoto versions anyway.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

How do you make suppositions like that? It's highly doubtful that they trashed it. If anything, they're probably legally obligated to keep them in case they need to refer to them legally somehow.

It's not like they're taking up huge amounts of space either; they're just files on a hard drive...

For audio? In this day and age? With lossless compression formats like FLAC around?

Not really.

Yes, video takes a crapton of space. Audio doesn't.

Yeah audio itself does not, but things are not that simple. They must have once made the masters that contain combined footage and audio with the Yamamoto score. I guess Toei still store them, but maybe they could be already overwritten. Probably they also have tons of broadcast masters (HDCAM-SR tapes I guess) sent back from Fuji TV and other local TV stations. It's not simple like just storing some WAV or AIFF files.

Just to note, Amazon bundle came out the same time as part 2 so this isn't a new set.

I think they don't care about the space much as company this size have a disc space of I don't know how many tera bytes inside or below the building.

We are small publishing house with few people in office and have around 16 terabytes for data, I can't imagine how much TOEI must have for example.
