Motoaki Takenouchi Collection

I love Motoaki Takenouchi’s music, so I decided to upload all I have and post it together here, in one place. Some of these are rather difficult to find, so I hope you enjoy them. They are mostly mp3 VBR V0, but a couple are V2. I’ve recently been searching for missing track titles, and have added them for Shining Wisdom, Shining Force CD, Sword of Hajya, and Gungriffon. I believe the only ones without correct titles are Double Moon Densetsu and Final Conflict which I can’t really find enough info on. Enjoy!

Update – Landstalker arrived and flac has been added for it!

Awesome post.That Shining Force 2 box is still amazing after all these years.Has Takenouchi done anything recently?

Excellent post! Takenouchi is one of my favourites too – such effortless musicality. Shame he doesn’t seem to be composing for videogames anymore (or at all?).

Shining Force CD is giving me a real Mario Galaxy vibe. The main themes resemble each other very closely.. I wonder if Mahito Yokota had this in mind? Then again.. I might just have have a strange fixation with that melodic shape – it also reminds me of the Cosmic Key theme in Conti’s Masters of the Universe and the ‘Hallelujah’ refrain from Ben-Hur 🙂

Looking forward to trying Gungriffon and Double Moon. Thanks!

*update*

Landstalker and Jewel Master added.

Found and will be uploading soon:

Yeah, that is disappointing. I haven’t heard that he has done anything recently either (since 1996??) . ……..sad.

*update* added:

Air Combat II Special (FM Towns)

Gamera (SNES, incomplete rip)

So, i’m still looking for this one:

SD Gundam Over Galaxian (PlayStation)

Jessie tried to rip the .da files from the .iso of the game itself, and so did I, but with no luck. It looks like this game is disgustingly rare (as in it appears in almost no lists of PS1 games) If anyone has this or finds it somewhere, I would love it.

If you haven’t listened to Takenouchi before, I would definitely start with the Shining Force II OST. I also really enjoy Jewel Master, Shining Wisdom, and the SF2 Suite, of course. The game gear games have great music, as well, and is copied in the Shining Force CD game.

*broken link to picture fixed for SF2 suite*

Jakob, could you post a sample of one of the .da files?

When in doubt, Wikipedia can help you.
Wikipedia = Motoaki Takenouchi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoaki_Takenouchi)

Wikipedia = Motoaki Takenouchi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoaki_Takenouchi)

I don’t get it. I’ve looked at this wikipedia page before, are you attempting to respond to me asking if anyone knew of anything else he has done? If you notice the OP, I have everything from that page except for E.V.O (where he only arranged), SD Gundam over Galaxian, and the three albums in "other." I can’t see what the wikipedia page is going to give me…

@lens

I’ll upload a track with the best conversion I can get. The quality is really bad, I don’t get it. I’m using audacity, and I tried to use Goldwave to cut out some frequencies that it seemed were the noise, but I couldn’t make it sound too great.

Could it be that the sampling rate is causing problems? If you post one of the .da files as is from the iso (or is that not possible?) I’ll have a mess around with it. I don’t know much when it comes to ripping psx, but you’ve got me very curious now.

Edit: cool 🙂

Sorry, that file didn’t end up with the .da file. I’m uploading it again.

mp3 and .da of Stage 1 (http://rapidshare.com/files/311810719/STAGE01.rar)

Eh, sorry, ^^; I thought you were looking for more stuff done by this guy.

🙂 That’s fine.

Shining Wisdom provided me with my favorite quote of all time:

"Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not duty; duty is not love; love is not music; music is…the best!"

thx for uploads!

lol, I never made it all the way through that game, and I don’t really remember the quote. Fun quote, but that about sums it up for that game. I thought the music was waay better than the game (the game was still alright, though)

*edit* (going off my download stats on rapidshare, no love for Jewel Master?? sad…I like it BETTER than landstalker, myself)

May I add the soundtrack release for Landstalker? You get some nice suites of the game music, with enhancements to the midi, and the first two tracks are arrangements.

http://uploadmirrors.com/download/9UD1WGMR/Landstalker

(going off my download stats on rapidshare, no love for Jewel Master??)
There’s love here! I just haven’t downloaded yet. At some point I’ll be grabbing pretty much everything in the thread 🙂

Great quote btw VyseLegend! Shining Wisdom has always looked very appealing to me being an action rpg. I’m assuming music plays an important role in the game.. Is it at all Zelda-ish?

http://uploadmirrors.com/download/9UD1WGMR/Landstalker

Oh, cool!! I didn’t know there was an official release for that one, yay! That art looks a LOT more like shining force art than the box art for the genesis. I’m getting this–Would you mind if I added the link to the OP?

Shining Wisdom has always looked very appealing to me being an action rpg. I’m assuming music plays an important role in the game.. Is it at all Zelda-ish?

Well, it is an action RPG. It feels really different than zelda. I remember you get some weird little car eventually, but its been quite a while. It has some beastly puzzles in it, but I don’t remember the battles being very difficult. I still have the disc for this one.

Personally, my favorite "shining" game for the saturn was "Shining the Holy Ark" which was a dungeon crawler, but that one had music by Motoi Sakuraba (Jessie has it (Thread 57031) if you want it), not Takenouchi.

Please do. The cover art for the American and European releases is hideous (obviously good enough to make me buy the game though!). I think you’ll enjoy this one – the music works pretty well in suite form, and ‘Seeking Treasure’ benefits from the added timp hits.

Sadly I never had a Saturn, even though I fantasised about getting one for years and followed many of the game releases. Had to remain content with my Megadrive untill the N64 came along. Now that I’m getting back into retro stuff I may well pick one up.

*update*

Landstalker Soundtrack Release added to OP courtesy of Lens of Truth

(now listening…enhancements to the midi is right!! That’s way better than a genesis ever sounded. That actually sounds like a saturn or ps1 soundtrack! Anyway, i’m just starting to listen, but I can tell i’m just going to eat this up…thanks again)

One more to add to the collection:

http://uploadmirrors.com/download/ZIRTXZCE/Symphonic

This is an arrangement of the music from Shining Force CD. It’s synthesised orchestral, but the first track features the following real instruments: 2 violins, viola, cello, flute, trumpet, horn and trombone.

I always thought those were arrangements of the original shining force game. I haven’t listened to this one all the way through, though. Either way, thanks for the upload!!

*edit* VGMdb proves me wrong. Well, that’s exciting. I’ll add that to the OP tonight! Thanks!

(if you haven’t listened to the original game gear versions of SF Gaiden, which is where the Shining Force CD music comes from, I like them a lot)

*edit* whoops, seems like you’re missing tracks 8 and 10 but I just grabbed them off of GH.

I’ve updated the rar. Now has all tracks 🙂

I’ll give the Game Gear tracks a listen too.

Thanks again, it’s in the OP now.

I don’t know why I’ve never listened to this before. Some of the arrangements aren’t that great, but it’s mostly pretty good! It’s a faithful representation of the music in the Shining Force Gaiden series.

Does anyone have the arranged Shining Wisdom soundtrack?

Does anyone have the arranged Shining Wisdom soundtrack?

Oh wow, I didn’t know there was one. That would be really cool…

*Edit* oh, it looks like the picture I have for the shining wisdom album is the album art for the arranged soundtrack.

http://vgmdb.net/album/2091

i’ll look for it. Hopefully I can find it…

Ok, I feel kinda stupid. After looking around for a good while, it looks like the Shining Wisdom soundtrack that is on GH is the arranged version. I’m uploading it right now for those who want it as one file.

*edit* UPDATE

Shining Wisdom Arranged Album now in OP. I also changed the album art for the Saturn rip of Shining Wisdom to the box art of the game. It’s a little large, but all the other ones looked terrible. There are great scans of the boxart of all of the older shining games at Shining Force Central (http://www.shiningforcecentral.com/artwork.php?m=0&g=8) for those who want them.

Shining Wisdom provided me with my favorite quote of all time:

"Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not duty; duty is not love; love is not music; music is…the best!"

thx for uploads!

Lol, I just listened to the arrange version I posted, and the first track has your quote in it…

Also with this update, I uploaded the two tracks from the first Shining Force Gaiden (Game Gear) that do not appear in the second game, The Sword of Hajya.

Coming soon:

Symphonic Synth Suite "4.6 Billion Year Story" -Takenouchi arranged the SNES game as well as this suite. I wasn’t going to put this up, but I changed my mind. I’ll upload the SNES rip as well later.

Looking for (recently discovered):

Gungriffon: Eurasian Conflict (Arrange Version)–*edit* found it!! I’ll be uploading this along with the 4.6 synth.

UPDATE.

Added:

Here’s a thread I can get behind 8) he’s one of my favourite video game composers, my second most listened to artist on last FM behind hayato matsuo (at the moment.) I’m responsible for much of the information on the wikipedia article, so if there’s anything incorrect on it, be sure that i catch hell :p

A few things I’d like to mention:

Gamera: Gyaosu Gekimetsu Sakusen (SNES) — there’s currently no complete SPC rip of this released, however the last time I spoke to KungFuFurby on snesmusic, he said he had a finished rip that just needed tagging or something like that. It’ll appear on snesmusic eventually, just a question of when… you could try e-mailing him and asking him to get his arse in gear and release it. The more people who ask for it, the more likely it’ll appear. Shame the sound quality on his SNES soundtracks is complete ass, because all the ideas are there musically.

SD Gundam Over Galaxian (PlayStation) — Like you guys, I downloaded an ISO of this a couple of years back, though I managed to rip the redbook audio. I also checked for the presense of XA and sequenced music but I couldn’t find any, so knock-on-wood this should be the entire OST (though really it needs someone who’s familiar with the game to verify.) The tracknames/tags are likely garbage though as they’re based off of the CDA filenames.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZHT4812H

Jessie tried to rip the .da files from the .iso of the game itself, and so did I, but with no luck.

Yeah, you’d probably need CD Mage for that, for some reason I don’t think you can just drag them off the CD. Or you could just open the entire ISO in Goldwave or something and manually trim the chunks of audio data, which is what I did for this because the track start times were all messed up – not a lot of fun, but doable if it’s your only option. Should be ok if you make sure opened as 16bit 44.1KHz PCM. Might be helpful with other ISOs you find that give you trouble~

Shining Wisdom rip — I was working on tags for the SSF set of this but I never finished since there were some I couldn’t identify (I was using names from the game rather than the names from the arranged CD.)

Shining CD — is your rip good quality? The one I have has clicks and pops all over it, and also doesn’t have tags. Let me know so I know whether or not I should download 🙂

Has Takenouchi done anything recently?

The most recent thing he’s done that I’m aware of (or is common knowledge) is composition and arrangement of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJ_rCp9j_g). Nice tune 🙂 other than that though, no idea. He may still be freelancing, though maybe not as a game musician…. who knows, his homepage has been dead as a dodo for many years.

Shining Wisdom provided me with my favorite quote of all time:

"Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not duty; duty is not love; love is not music; music is…the best!"

Cosmic Distortion! Irregular Time! Polyrhythm! FLASHING KEYBOARD SOLO! WILDLY DISTORTED GUITAR! Uninterrupted flow of melody!

so great.

So, I got unreasonably excited when I found the gungriffon arranged album (THANK YOU Goniochromism)

Aye, you have no idea how excited I was when I found it. It’s also one of my favourite soundtracks of his, along with Shining Wisdom, Jewel Master and Granhistoria. Carl at slightlydark was who originally found it on jp2p.

Stuff you’re missing — tracks from shinji hosoe’s omnibus albums on Troubadour (TOURS, Great Wall, GTR, which you should have now), and his tune on the Cho Aniki Show II CD/compilation/thing (http://vgmdb.net/album/6176), called "Saw-kwa Dance". It isn’t clear whether this is from a Cho Aniki game (which might mean he composed for one at some point) or if it’s a one-off track unique to this CD and not actually from a game.

Also, Symphonic Synth Suite "4.6 Billion Year Story" -The Theory of Evolution- (http://vgmdb.net/album/1495) – which was an arranged CD for the PC98 version of the game, rather than the SNES one you linked. I never checked both discs out so the music between the two may be different.

Finally, I have a request — if you could find a rip of this incredibly rare release (http://vgmdb.net/album/10422), that would be spectacular. I have had no joy. It’s the only thing he’s worked on that I haven’t been able to locate.

this incredibly rare release (http://vgmdb.net/album/10422)

How was the quality of yours? I got the CDDA files to open in Audacity, but they sounded like total garbage. At first I thought there was just noise, but then I realized all of the samples sounded distorted as well.

Shining Wisdom rip — I was working on tags for the SSF set of this but I never finished since there were some I couldn’t identify (I was using names from the game rather than the names from the arranged CD.)

This is something I could fix, because my track names are garbage (SW01A, SW02B, etc)

Shining CD — is your rip good quality? The one I have has clicks and pops all over it, and also doesn’t have tags. Let me know so I know whether or not I should download 🙂

These files come from a version of the game I downloaded. They are 192kb mp3 and sound terrific. The track titles are only the title of the game and track number, however. I don’t really pull this out much to listen to it, as I prefer the game gear versions for most of the tracks.

The most recent thing he’s done that I’m aware of (or is common knowledge) is composition and arrangement of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJ_rCp9j_g). Nice tune 🙂

[Stuff you’re missing — tracks from shinji hosoe’s omnibus albums on Troubadour (TOURS, Great Wall, GTR, which you should have now), and his tune on the Cho Aniki Show II CD/compilation/thing (http://vgmdb.net/album/6176), called "Saw-kwa Dance". It isn’t clear whether this is from a Cho Aniki game (which might mean he composed for one at some point) or if it’s a one-off track unique to this CD and not actually from a game.

I’ll check those out! I’ll definitely get the troubador ones tonight.

Also, Symphonic Synth Suite "4.6 Billion Year Story" -The Theory of Evolution- (http://vgmdb.net/album/1495) – which was an arranged CD for the PC98 version of the game, rather than the SNES one you linked. I never checked both discs out so the music between the two may be different.

Wait, there are two arranged versions, or just the two games? The one I ended up with has 17 tracks, which is the same as the NECPC98. I probably have that version and just have my facts wrong.

WOW! Thanks, you are both awesome!!! As soon as I download this and the troubador stuff tonight, I’ll add them to the OP if you guys don’t mind. Also, I’ll add a space for "Land Stalker"

I’ve really only heard the "Master of Monsters" soundtrack he did for the sega genesis. What do you recommend of his?

I really like Syvalion, Sword Maniac, Super Hockey ’94, Tengai Makyou Kabuki Itto Ryoudan, Master of Monsters Neo Generation and Let’s Smash (ripped in USF not too long ago :)), as well as his tracks on the trobadour compilations, which are just ridiculous. Basically all his older progressive/fusion-style stuff. Most probably know him for Ogre Battle, Front Mission 3 and Final Fantasy XII though, which also have their moments.

How was the quality of yours?

Well, you can check in the set I uploaded; perfect as far as I can tell. I’m not sure why you didn’t have any joy with Audacity. You could try just opening the entire ISO in Audacity instead, though some audio editors are a bit iffy about opening non-audio files.

Wait, there are two arranged versions, or just the two games?

Both, and it seems like one of the arranged albums is for the PC98 game while the other is for the Super Nintendo version. It is confusing. Additionally, Sugiyama composed the music in the original PC98 version, while Takenouchi arranged/programmed the tunes for the SNES version, as well as writing some new tunes as well… never did investigate that fully though.

I’m guessing there isn’t, but do any of you know if there was ever an arranged version, or official soundtrack release for Jewel Master?

sadly not 🙁 that would have been brilliant, i can just imagine the intense synth wankouts that would ensue.

I don’t have the Koichi Sugiyama album you mentioned or the Cho aniki Show track.

Ok Thank you , I will try to find the missing albums and Cho Aniki

I don’t know if the way I wrote that confused you or not. The Landstalker single is, in fact, in the OP. It’s part of the promo/supplement CD set.

Ah yes sorry, thank you very much 🙂

Cool, I hope you have luck in finding the Cho Aniki song. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Koichi Sugiyama game sound collection album is on the forum somewhere… I’ll look around as well.

Cho Aniki Show II – 05 – Sak-kwa DANCE (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C2V1A0EK)
I don’t find Sugiyama Album, must to be rare now.

I can upload this album if you want : Dragon Quest ~Dai’s Great Adventure~ TV Original Soundtrack (http://vgmdb.net/album/14520)
Composed by Koichi Sugiyama
Arranged by Hayato Matsuo, Motoaki Takenouchi

sure! I’d love to hear it.

The album has been uploaded by Cleri : http://www.mediafire.com/?d44kn2kwmjm
🙂

Oh ok, I was actually just getting some of the albums from Cleri’s thread. They are really great stuff if anyone in this thread hasn’t heard the Dragon Quest music. I’ll check that one out, scorenation!

I you recommend highly all the Symphonic Suite 🙂

jakob.nelson: sort of interesting – found a log of the convo i had in #usf when i was fighting with SD gundam over galaxian a couple of years back. now i remember it giving me heaps of trouble as well 😀

http://cereal.rutgers.edu/~agashlin/usflog/index.cgi?2007-11_2007-11-14

i was just looking inside the ISO again today, the .str files in the MOVIE directory piqued my interest. it’s possible those also have audio… no guarantee though. gonna look into it.

EDIT: tried XA extraction with vgmtoolbox but it didn’t turn up anything with the str files… i can only assume that means they don’t have any audio. really what it needs is someone familiar with the game.

I might have seen that log, lol, that’s totally it… there is an irc conversation from hcs that is one of the only results that come up for SD Gundam over Galaxian on google, and that’s the one it was. How funny. I remember using some program that ripped all of the images and movies. I also remember that none of the movies seemed to have anything other than sound effects.

EVO? Damn, I never beat that game >.<

I would love to have those Land Stalker rips in the original flac if at all possible. Especially the more rare promo and supplement cds. These things deserve to be preserved in lossless. Thanks

I can upload a flac set of the Landstalker gamerip (in-game music) but I can’t help you with the arranged version, promo, or supplement. Lucy gave me the Promo and supplement CD rips (see page 2 of this thread) and Lens_of_Truth posted the landstalker stuff, so those mp3s are the only versions I have. Let me know if you’re interested in a flac set and i’ll do it for the game rip.

(Also, calling it the "original flac" doesn’t really make sense as the file format was not originally FLAC, but redbook CD audio or midi for the genesis/md)

Thanks for the help jakob.nelson but I have the game rips. Just wondering if you could help me further and contact Lucy & Lens of Truth. I am very new to this forum (I am just discovering how great of a community this is!) which means as of now I have no pm privileges and no direct way of communicating with them. Thanks for any help you (and the others) can provide.

Oh, and regarding the ‘original flac rips’ – just showing my disgust for re-encodes! :notgood:

I’m pretty sure you only need 5 posts to send a pm. Just post three more times then you can ask them.

Very Good Topic, thank you!!

I do believe it’s your version I have in the first post, AcidBeast. However, it is in mp3 format, as opposed to the FLACs you posted earlier, unless this one is different?

Of course not. 🙂

jakob, do u think u can help me out with a different link to the dr. mario soundtrack? rapidshare won’t let me download. thanks.

If you keep trying it should. Also, a PM probably would have been better as opposed to this thread that is completely unrelated. If you try a few more times and it still doesn’t work, let me know and I will upload it somewhere else.

ok.

i managed to get it. thanks again. and sorry about before. i dont know how to PM anyone and it was the only way since u havent replied to my other thread.

I grabbed all the ‘Land Stalker’ stuff because it’s pretty much the best game ever, and I want to hear all the music again to remind me that it’s still the best game ever.

I really enjoy it as well! Most of the landstalker stuff (other than the game rip) came from other people. The arranged soundtrack came from Lens of Truth and the other mini-albums came from Lucy. I listen to that arranged soundtrack all the time, too! I should play that game some time in the near future.

Update:

Added, for the sake of completeness, Symphonic Suite: 4.6 Billion Year Story ~ The Theory of Evolution. This album is a synth arrangement of the music from the NEC PC-98 game, whereas the other album with a similar name posted previously here is from the SNES/Super Famicom music.

These 4.6 Billion Year albums haven’t really caught my attention in the past, but having listened to more Koichi Sugiyama, it’s interesting to hear the two very different styles of the the composers involved. For example, track fourteen (japanese title) is very exemplary of the Takenouchi Style, whereas track seventeen is very much Sugiyama. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks again to Acid Beast for this one.

Update:

Track titles added for Shining Wisdom Gamerip, Shining Force CD, and Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya. They were just numbers before, but I finally found track titles online (mostly from youtube, these titles are pretty scarcely represented on the internet) except for a couple in Shining Wisdom that I invented…

Gungriffon still has garbage for track titles, so I’ll fix that soon.

Thanks for Shining Force CD and Shining Wisdom with track titles.

You’re very welcome! I also just did the track titles for Gungriffon, which had titles like 19, 30, etc, so this is much better. The links for this and the other albums have been updated in the original post.

thanks for evo!!

Why the fuck did I have to reregister in order to see the links in here again?

Good luck getting Road Blaster music btw.

I actually hadn’t ever heard of Road Blaster (Road Avenger), but I’ll try to get it. It wasn’t on the wikipedia page for Takenouchi before, and no one seemed to credit him for the game, but I see it there now. Weird. Anyway, I’ll try to find it tonight.

After having downloaded a couple versions of the game and looking online for more info, I’m not entirely convinced that Takenouchi actually did the music for Road Blaster FX (Road Avenger). I can’t find anywhere that credits him as the composer (except for the new addition to the wikipedia page), and I found multiple places that credit Motoi Sakuraba. Do you have any proof that he did in fact compose for this game?

Thx a lot for the last updates !!!
Good question for Road Blaster :
http://snesmusic.org/motoisakuraba/static/Road_Blaster_FX.html
Maybe some people have confused Motoi and Motoaki 🙂

Awesome, that list seems complete enough to be trustworthy, so I’ll stop looking for it I think. Thanks, scorenation!

Yes, Thank You again for all the Fantastic Works 🙂
"listening Symphonic Suite Shining Force II ~Ancient Sealing~ again !!!"

Edit : Thank You too AcidBeast for Symphonic Synth Suite "4.6 Billion Year Story" -The Theory of Evolution- 🙂

It’s not a mistake. They both did the music.

CD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wbwa9qPU-Q
LD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2LMxG_dq9U#t=2m30s
Original arcade version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NumA2YB6W3Q

You’re not going to find it anywhere btw.

Thank You, I understand now 🙂
The version LD is much better

Supposedly the psx version is a direct port of the LD game. I’m going to see if someone can help me rip it or if I can manage to figure it out.

Edit: Jessie helped me extract the audio, and here is the result!

http://rapidshare.com/files/391961263/RoadBlaster.zip

There are only seven tracks, and I’ll tell you why. The game is basically one big video, and the sound effects are not separate as they are all mostly predestined, so all of the tracks not present in this mp3 set were VERY CONTAMINATED with sound effects and are unusable. This is the best we’re getting, but honestly this is one of Takenouchi’s weakest efforts, so I don’t mind it being so small.

wrong soundtrack. thats the arcade version not the ld version.
like i said, you wont find it anywhere.

Actually, I think you’re right. Unless those youtube videos you linked have the versions mixed up, the song in the background of the laserdisc version is nowhere to be found in the playstation version. I will keep looking, but it’s rather annoying that you insist on repeating that I won’t find it. I still don’t see any definitive proof that it is Takenouchi, although the style sounds similar from what I can hear through the bad quality and crashes/squeals/explosions in that video.

Don’t get butthurt with me kid. If you’d done the slightest bit of research you’d know that he lists the game on his official page.

It’s rather annoying to me, personally, that you insist on using rapidshare instead of megaupload, not providing 320 kbps files, and uploading an incomplete gamera rip instead of just recording the music off the sound test, which again, you would know how to access if you had done the slightest bit of research.

It’s rather annoying to me that you tell jn where to upload his files and what way to do his rips.

Be grateful for what you get and stop whining.

I’m not "butthurt" . If you would like to contribute to the thread where you see it lacking, feel free to do so. Otherwise, if you dislike my thread and have nothing to add, stop posting in it. You also seem very knowledgeable in ripping music from games, so I’m assuming you could find the material yourself if you really want it in your preferred format. Problem solved.

I love Motoaki Takenouchi’s music, so I decided to upload all I have and post it together here, in one place. Some of these are rather difficult to find, so I hope you enjoy them. They are mostly mp3 VBR V0, but a couple are V2.

This is from the first post of the thread. It is unreasonable for you to expect 320 kbps files if you had read this because while I do not provide the bitrate of every single album, I do give enough information for you to deduce that 320 kbps is not the format of the majority of the files.

I was simply requesting information in my previous post. Thank you for the link to the archive of his dead page. I will continue trying to find this, although you seem to think it impossible.

Edit: found a Road Blaster laserdisc rom…I’ll let you know if I find anything.

You don’t have to let me know, because you won’t find it, ever. Mega LD dumps don’t exist because the data on the disc isn’t sequenced in tracks, it’s just a big analog stream and no one has bothered to write a custom parallel transfer for the Laseractive because no one cares. The only way to acquire that music would be to search around specialty stores in Japan and plunk down the $400 or so to purchase the disc, and another $600 for the console required to play it, like I did.

I’m able to direct download all of this music in lossless format already, and I’m trying to help people out who aren’t fortunate enough to be able to get the stuff that I get. Usually I don’t say anything about these matters but Takenouchi is pretty much my favorite composer and you’re basically shitting all over him as far as I’m concerned. If you followed my advice the quality of your links would go way up. If you’re going to just farm stuff from other places then you should at least make it as accessible as possible. A badly encoded rapidshare is not the way to do that. I’m pretty sure you haven’t even realized that your Agari Suzuki link is down.

Stop being a retard for a change and listen to someone with way more experience than you.

Oh goodie, a generic lazy-smarm troll fag. Your username certainly fits. The least you could do is be entertaining

I’m pretty sure you haven’t even realized that your Agari Suzuki link is down.

I did actually realize that a couple of my rapidshare links had expired, I just wasn’t sure which ones. If someone asks for it, I will reupload.

Honestly, I don’t understand why you would call an effort by someone to share music by a composer you enjoy "shitting all over him" nor why you’re still here, but I also like Takenouchi quite a bit. I don’t think these are poor encodes as I did a good bit of them myself and listen to them frequently. You have a bunch of this stuff in lossless, great. I hope you enjoy listening to it, because you’re not "helping people out who aren’t fortunate enough to be able to get the stuff that [you] get" unless you share it, so get off your high horse unless you’re going to do something other than complain, please. Seriously, we have a common interest and this is a hobby. Is there really a need to be so vicious? All I’m doing is making the music more available to people that might be interested to hear it. If they want lossless quality, they can get what’s available to buy on CD, but otherwise there aren’t many places on the internet you can find some of these albums. I would be interested to hear what brought you here.

Also, the laser disc image must have been from the laser disc-based arcade game, because the music was the same as the psx version.

@douchebagfag: Your last few posts have been insulting and troll like, i think you should calm things down a bit and stop trying to force lossless music on others.

This is your last warning.

jakob, i’d like to ask u somethin. now, i havent played any of these games, but i am a fan of new music. so can u tell me what some of motoaki’s best works are?

I would start with Shining Force II for sure. Some of my other favorites are the other Shining Force games, Jewel Master, Gungriffon, and Shining Wisdom (the gamerip is better than the arranged version in my opinion) .

The Soundtrack release for Landstalker is also very nice. I really enjoy all of these (although gamera and granhistoria are not my favorites). I hope you enjoy them!

i shall do that. thanks for the advice.

Also, I clicked through all of the links, and the following are down:

Gamera
EVO: Search for Eden (SNES rip)
Aguri Suzuki F1 Super Driving
Landstalker Promo and Supplement
Shining Force Gaiden
Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya

I will be reuploading them soon!

ok. for now, ill just get shining force ii since its late and i gotta get some sleep soon. just got the soundtrack and…u need to work on rearranging the tracklist. i don’t like the tracklist at all, unfortunately.

finally, Gamera has been ripped and included in the latest snesmusic update.

http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profile=set&selected=14321

ignore the stupid tagging, obviously only Motoaki Takenouchi should appear in the artist field (for any subsequent MP3 releases as well.) some great songs here. i’d heard most of them before in a more-extensive untagged rip that KungFuFurby did. the soundtrack as a whole seems to suffer from the same poor sound implementation that Granhistoria had, but the underlying music is great. Gamera Leaves <3

Thanks a bunch, Goniochromism! I have converted the files to mp3, removed the extra artist info, and it is now in the first post. This is more of the Takenouchi we love, ladies and gentleman, and while I don’t love it as much as say Shining Wisdom, Gungriffon, or Jewel Master, it’s pretty good.

Great thread here.

I need Shining Force Gaiden gamerip & Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya, could you reupload as soon as possible ?

Thanks.

Ah, sorry about that! I noticed they were gone right before I built my new computer, then forgot about it. I’ll get those two up tonight when I get home (around five hours from now).

Awesome. I’m looking for these soundtracks for ages…

The links in the first post have been updated, but here they are as well:

Reupload:

Shining Force Gaiden (http://www.mediafire.com/?mendjwckzumyzqh)

Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya (http://www.mediafire.com/?km5gznzwg2yzmom)

Keep in mind, from the OP about Gaiden 1:

Almost exactly the same music as Sword of Hajya, this includes ONLY the 2 tracks that are not in Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya.

Great job, many thanks !

Also got Air Combat and Aguri Suzuki back up.

edit: Air combat got screwed up somehow, but I’m doing it again right now…

Really really thank you.

hey I just found this sweet thread, I’m looking to find the Shining Force Sword of Hajya ost (game gear) in vgm format, any idea where I can find it?

I get what you’re referring to, but game gear games are typically .kss . I do have that and can upload it if you want

Hey thanks for replying! I guess there are a few sound formats that are mixing me up… I have other game gear soundtracks that are in .vgm format. I like them because each track is it’s own file and I can queue up individual tracks in winamp to make a playlist. Now I see there are also .kss files where all the tracks are bunched together in the one file. It’s not ideal, but if you have it, I would still love to get it! I’m curious though do you know if it’s possible to easily separate the tracks somehow? Thanks again!

Okay, Neilman, so I have uploaded the .kss for Sword of Hajya here (http://www.mediafire.com/?gczl2npthyti3zn) (which I only ever found in one place which is now down) after not being able to find the .vgm set. I did, however, find a set of shining force gaiden: final conflict (the sequel to sword of hajya) <A HREF="http://www.smspower.org/Music/ShiningForceGaidenFinalConflict-GG">here</A> if you’re interested.

Anyway, if you must have separate files for sword of hajya, you could always get my set of mp3s from the main page that I tagged and converted and from this .kss set.

thanks for the upload jakob, it sounds just like I remember it. I didn’t know kss files were so hard to come by. I just did some more searching and found a little kss collection that coincidentally even has the sword of hajya in it too. Here it is in case any others are looking to find some more kss files: ftp://modland.com/pub/modules/KSS/-%20unknown/

That link doesn’t seem to go anywhere. Also, about the other one, as it is not takenouchi, please make your request in the request subforum.

weird it seems to work for me.

weird it seems to work for me.

Oh, sorry. I guess ftp links don’t work on my phone, that’s the first time I’ve tried one I guess. Yeah, that looks like a good list.

thanks for this great Thread !

Its weird, but no one ever found Tony � Hiroki Kikuta featuring Miku Hatsune Collaboration… – VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/16930)

I don’t see any indication that motoaki takenouchi had anything to do with this.

Does anyone have the "Gungriffon: The Eurasian Conflict-Soundtrack Release" arrange soundtrack?

The file has been gone for a while, and I realllllly would like to hear it, given how much I love the arranged Shining Wisdom soundtrack release, and how much I like the original music in the Saturn rip of Gungriffon.

I think most of these links are down actually, but I have been really looking for that one specifically.

(By the way, thanks for this thread, since a while ago when more of these worked, I used this thread to get a lot his stuff that I didn’t have. I sometimes consider Motoaki Takenouchi my favorite composer!)

Ah! Sorry, I’ve abandoned the thread a bit, haven’t I? I am more than happy to upload that arranged Gungriffon soundtrack for you when i get home in about 3-4 hours from now. I’ve been meaning to fix the links here for a while but just haven’t gotten around to it.

Oh thank you very much, I’d really appreciate that, very looking forward to hearing it now!

Excellent thread. Takenouchi really is an amazing composer.

I was wondering if you could re-upload the Shining Wisdom Rip and the Game Gear Shining Force III Final Conflict Rip? I would really, REALLY appreciate it!

Oh thank you very much, I’d really appreciate that, very looking forward to hearing it now!

Oh, I forgot to do this yesterday! ._. Sorry, it’s uploading now and I will post the link here in a minute when it finishes.

Shining Force Gaiden 3: Final Conflict: http://www.mediafire.com/?xtu42jfnw69ynfn

Whoa thank you VERY MUCH! Seriously I’ve been wanting to hear this for a while now, and after having just listened I overall like these even more than the rip as expected!

Probably…actually my favorite work of his now lol, about tied with Shining Wisdom’s arrange OST. So yes, you’ve just provided me with possibly my favorite thing I’ve heard by who is already my favorite composer. You win!

Ha! You’re very welcome. It’s great to see other people that like Takenouchi as much as I do. The Gungriffon arranged soundtrack is great, I must agree!

As a general update, I’ve re-uploaded everything but the Landstalker promo and supplement pack. There isn’t much music in the pack, but it’s nice for completeness. Everything else should be active.

Funny, we were talking about these two soundtracks in this thread a couple years ago (how has it even been that long??) but I completely forgot about them. Here are Cho Aniki Show II (http://www.mediafire.com/?b7od0cfser3b0hu) (takenouchi did track 5) and Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken TV Original Soundtrack (http://www.mediafire.com/?d44kn2kwmjm) (arranged by Matsuo and Takenouchi, taken from the earlier link by Cleri). Note that it’s just the music that I’ve uploaded for Cho Aniki Show II, not the drama tracks.

Also, an upcoming surprise! I found a copy of the Landstalker Soundtrack CD and when it comes in the mail I will upload FLAC to complement the mp3 I already have of it. I’ve never been able to find lossless for this album, so this should be a nice update for everyone interested!

*Tries to like opening post again*

Landstalker sounds brilliant in FLAC! I’ll be blasting it through my speakers nice and loud tomorrow morning:) Thanks J!

Thanks for this! But such a shame he completely vanished off the planet after 1996.
I don’t know why Wikipedia says he did a few j-pop songs in 2000, where’s the source?

Anyone here still keeps the two 4.6 Billion Year Story AST lossless file? I have a re-up request. Hmm…jakob?

Do you think you could reupload the "LandStalker ~The Emperor’s Treasure~ Special Supplement CD"? I would really appreciate it. Thank you! 😀

Anyone here still keeps the two 4.6 Billion Year Story AST lossless file? I have a re-up request. Hmm…jakob?

I regret not keeping the flac for those two, but you could probably request a reupload of them from AcidBeast in the lossless vgm thread, which is where they were posted originally. If I can get that again, I’ll maintain it in the thread this time.

I’m sorry, I seem to have lost this. It’s really a very small disc, with something like two tracks, one being mostly dialogue hyping the game. Sorry again.

Thanks for the fast reply! The Promo CD had the dialogue, but I’m interested in the Special Supplement. Do you think you might have that one? If not, I appreciate you looking into it. 🙂

Yeah I used to have both of them, they were combined in the same upload. Neither of them really had a lot of music, and definitely nothing missing from the other soundtracks. Anyway, I don’t have either disc any more.

I’ll re-upload all two CDs soon. Stay tuned.

What a pity AcidBeast really rarely active on this forum this year. I also tried calling him/her on VGMdb but no response yet. Maybe next chance.

I’ll re-upload all two CDs soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks, Lucy. I’ll keep a copy around so I can throw it up if this ever goes down again.

Thanks a ton Lucy! You’ve made my day. It’s wonderful to have those tracks. Especially from that Promo CD. ♥ 😀

Not a problem you two. 😉 Maybe I’ll rip all the CDs in the near future again in FLAC-quality but not yet.

That would be tremendous. For now, I’m so very grateful for what you’ve shared. I’ll keep an eye on this thread in case you do. ★

Thank you!

Well, I have something to add to this- : Game profile: Granhistoria: Genshi Sekaiki ~ SNESmusic.org (http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?selected=14356&profile=set)

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I already have granhistoria in the thread with the same number of tracks. The version you linked seems to have a more organized tagging scheme though so I’ll check it out thanks.

Ah, I didn’t know. I am sorry if I wasted your time.

Okay

Sorry, I was addressing the comment above yours to jakob.

Love this thread, thanks contributors.

Would it be possible to get a re-upload of:
SF2 genesis rip
SF Gaiden
SF Gaiden 2
Aguri Suzuki F-1 Super Driving (Game Boy rip)
Air Combat II Special (FM Towns)

Appreciate the active links for the EVO albums – had been struggling to find those albums!

Shining Wisdom provided me with my favorite quote of all time:

"Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; music is…the best!"
Apologies, but I had to fix that. It’s one of my favorite quotes as well!

thank you

Thank you!

Great thread! Thank you for collecting this all.

A few links are broken, including
Land Stalker Promo CD and Supplement CD
Air Combat II Special (FM Towns)

The several off-thread links to FLAC don’t work for me either, either due to a forum software change or perhaps my account’s forum view settings, not sure.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the Landstalker! 🙂
