ok guys. Here I am again.

I am going to start working a another custom soundtrack rip of my own. After I finish this rip, I will have to work on the covers for both rips.
Ninja Gaiden Ova and Street Fighter 4 Ova + Super Street Fighter 4 OVa



Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Ryu: The Dragon Sword Story
忍者龍剣伝 (Japanese)


Street Fighter IV- Ties that Bind


Super Street Fighter IV: Juri

After these projects are finished I will get back to dragon ball. Like I said, in the middle of February or at the end of it.

I have also been answering some others people�s requests for some other soundtracks of anime. Which is also killing a bit of my time. As Long as I can rest, it is fine. :)

I leave you guys for now with a good picture ;)

these amazing bgm from DB are indeed unreleased Dragonball Battle Themes Music - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOID9JXwkL8)

Update:

:)

Hi everyone!
So, I have not even released those other projects, but I am guessing they will be all at the same time, since I have been waiting for some feedback on some stuff I am waiting.
But I have already started to work on Dragon Ball ;)
pridek1 had linked Mugiwalaarge youtube channel with 122 unreleased tracks, but I have to point they are actually less then that. Most of the tracks were re-ripped for better audio and they were not deleted or replaced. Ripping from any Source for Dragon Ball music, will always have sfx. So it was decided to rip tracks that were mostly in places with no speech, and since most of themes are almost "bridges", it was originally done to make a kind of relaxing tune mixed with the background sound. Consider it a a drama cd without speech. :)

Now, another section for this Dragon Ball unreleased tracks is a bonus disc, which I am still receiving tracks, some bad other good, and I have been choosing very selectively those tracks.

And I have to redo, again my symphonic suite for some DB/DBZ tunes...or I think that is what I was doing. :/




Stay Tuned

@pridek1 TheZestanor is doing a great job as well. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheZestanor/videos?flow=grid&view=0

Giving some feedback about it.
working on multiple projects at the same time in this month. I am planning to release all my 5 projects this month.
So this will be for sure to be set for the end of this month. stay tuned.

does this include also includes some DBZ unreleased bgm's ?

Almost finishing the other projects to b able to cam to this one.
Got delayed because of my personal life and my work, which did cut off some of the time I was planning to give "love". The dragon ball project is needing some audio upgrade on the tracks and I still need to rip some other tracks.
Yes it will come with some DBZ tracks too.
In another hand, we are planing to make a volume 2 of this. When? We don't know.
stay tuned

reupload?

still nothing ? any update ?

Hey everyone. Things are not so good on my personal side, but in way, it is a good thing, since I did get to be able to re-rip certain tracks, along with some help.
I am working to try enhancing the tracks in stereo. Since the original show was in mono and most dvds released are in mono. Go figure why.
Project delayed? Yes! I can't do much about that, due to my personal life, but I am hope that the waiting will be rewarded with the fact I am trying my best for the tracks to be Audible enough for your enjoyment.
Again.... There can't be flac in here. the sound quality is not worth it. It's like eating a Hamburger without the burger.
Als, some tracks will be mixed together as a suite, mostly because they are variations of the same cue and because they are too short.

I will give updates, when I can. I have been giving attention to the project with the little time I have for it.

Well, I think everything is fine, as long as conversions from mp3 to mp3 are avoided (the sound quality would degrade too much), this is only a suggestion ;).

appreciate the efforts here

any update ?

anything new ?

it will be released in X-mas, for sure, VOL.1

My own human work is consuming my time and life, and other personal issues, which are not helping to finish my projects.

sorry for so much cursed delays on this.

There is very little to do on the rips now. just need to rip some new tracks (not a big amount of tracks), organize, produce and finish the booklet. Deadline for myself is x-mas, if I manage to get it sooner, even better.

Re-up of Dragon Ball Z: Complete BGM Collection plz

can u just upload one unreleased bgm to see how the quality is without all special effects ?

OK. This is starting to feel like a curse.
When I finally got time to start working on it and finishing the rips.... the folder with DB rips disappears.... Along with other works and projects I was working on.
Seriously? I am going to have to do everything from scratch again.

:roflheston:

not funny at all......


you want unreleased tracks rip them from here
https://www.youtube.com/user/Mugiwalaarge/playlists

my rips were more complete then his, but I quit. I lost motivation and I am sick of doing it from scratch all over again.
I am sorry , but I give up.

That is not a gif of a funny man, that's a gif of a man going crazy (taken from movie). Because crazy stuff happened. Let's call it random gif for a random thing.

Anyway, it's a pity you've lost your work for the n-th time. I wonder what happened to your OS. Maybe a filesystem error? This happens when a PC suffers of power outage. Have you tried to recover your files? This is a great freeware tool:

https://www.piriform.com/recuva

I have tried everything.... I quit. I really feel that this project is cursed. too many times something happens.... enough is enough dammit.....
I am hot wire raging fury in this side. I feel like I beat the crap of an innocent soul to death.
Jesus.....

I am in the heat of the moment. Right now I say I quit..... maybe when I feel more encouraged to do it, I will do it.

Well, now being serious, I think few users here would have your same knowledge on DB BGMs, you've spent so many hours working on them... So, my suggestion is to simply take a break. Enjoy your life and, if you're willing, then eventually go ahead with this project. This usually helps with breaking these curses. Remember, at the end you're the one who'll win. ;)

thanks for the support. I have been working in 6 projects at the same time, counting with this one. Deadlines are bitch. :/

You should take a break for a while, if you are always lose your data just make two copies of each project to prevent that from happen to you in the future :/

Ps: You are human with two hands, not octopus to work in 6 projects at the same time @_@

Or you could simply download the mega.co.nz sync client and set a cloud folder with 50 GB space for free! ;)

Does anybody know if the song "The biggest fight" fron the Dragon ball Final Bout videogame has a single?? or at least a karaoke track. Also I wonder the same of the song from the TV commercial Koizumu Desk.

Can you guys please reupload Dragon Ball Z "Ongakushuu Vol.2" album??

I will upload 2004 - Dragon Ball Z Music Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 in FLAC format

Thankies for these

The only thing I'd love to get are all or most DBZ BGMs but seems rather impossible.

It seems very strange to me that no label have released the complete BGMs yet, strange because we already have the complete BGMs of other well-known anime (for example, Lupin).

Well, I would buy a complete DB BGMs set for sure :).

TOEI stupidly got rid of the broadcast audio so now they can't really get the entire collection in one piece together. There have been fans who have sent them the broadcast audio but they refused due to their pride, nor will FUNi get to use it on home media releases either (TOEI would gut them).

Uhm... So do you think the current chance of getting a complete boxset would be near to zero in the future? Well, that would be a huge letdown!

Not very likely. You can find some or more around precisely a few (out of the tons of BGMs that were composed) on YouTube.

Kei17 is the guy who has Dragon Ball + Z Japanese broadcast audio tracks but won't share it publicly (only those within the circle) and also he worked on splitting BGMs from the episodes' audio files. You can find a batch of Dragon Ball Z Japanese broadcast audio batch on NyaaTorrent with over 500+ comments, most are from users pissed that someone finally shared it.

Those that are pissed think FUNimation would get permission from TOEI to use it on their BDs/DVDs when TOEI themselves refused it. It was a sh*t show of a comment section. lol

Hey, you guys should download the Doraemon BGM Collection @ Thread 222508

^ This was also composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi and it's lovely to hear it in high quality. :)

Shunsuke Kikuchi...... is always the same. I first heard him in Dragonball/ Z, after that.... he reuses his own music lot of times, and ... it is always the same.
Curiosity... some Dragon Ball / Z unreleased tracks were ACTUALLY released in Doraemon soundtracks randomly.

Thread 75397

rips from the LD releases of the DBZ Movies, which had a soundtrack channel only. Rare thing on those days, but it was awesome as we can have the movies complete soundtrack ;)

Orie, that's kind of insulting to say about Shunsuke Kikuchi. His music may sound similar but it's not the same. It varies but you can always tell it's his work as he left his mark on each and every one of them.

I'm thinking about making a 'Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks Thread' here on FFShrine but for now I can't as I've got a lot of stuff scheduled to upload elsewhere and if I may get done with it, it may be by mid February or so.

Kiteretsu and Dr. Slump never got official BGM Collection CDs and Dragon Ball Z was unfortunate to only get some so the rest were lost.. unless Kikuchi made a backup for himself which is entirely possible (musicians keeping possession of their own work).

i am sorry to disagree... but ... no. And dont give me the crap "how dare you say that". I double dare and I say it.
After 1 day hearing his music, i feel tired of it and wont touch it again ... until next year. That is how I feel. Call it insult to you or not. His mark for me was in dragon ball, and in sake of nostalgia I can see the great music he makes, but then ... it falls off because... nothing new on his other soundtracks. Dragon ball seems to me exactly where he was inspired. I can listen Dragon ball all day I don't get tired, even if he uses tiger mask music in it, or even Sakigake!! Otokojuku music in dragon ball. But his style is clear on what he wants to do, and everything else, not really.
He just... does not make enough tea for me.

Thanks Orie, do you by any chance have the full Laser disc audio including voice channel for the movies??? Would be great to find these FLAC as they contain the master audio in lossless format.

The thing is, the Dragon Box audio is the same as the Laser Disc audio but the LD is lossless while the DB is lossy. In terms of quality difference, it's just a minor difference at best from what I have read.

If you really want the best, you'd need the CD drama audio releases which are extremely hard to find.

I know that there is of Movie 6, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (made a note of it on the Shunsuke Kikuchi Project Thread).

Ah okay, I wonder why the drama CDs are superior, I thought both LD and the drama CDs would both have lossless master audio, hopefully we can find them... p.s what happened to our friend ayreon, he seems to have deleted all his torrents and disappeared.

Ayreon decided to delete all his uploads from Nyaa due to being harassed and questioned by a member as to his authenticity of the Dragon Ball BA audios. We had a good thing going and it's vanished now. Hopefully he comes back or joins this community which is much better than that toxic mess of Nyaa.

hi thanks i was following his wonderful upload on nyaa but today i have seen everything dissapear and was wondering why? who was the members name that harrassed him?

Ugh, I seriously hate the DB community... I distinctly remember he posted his email in the comment section of one of his uploads, did you happen to write it down? If we have that perhaps we can ask him to come here instead of nyaa...

Are you sure about DBZ Movie 6, 12 and 13? I checked and only DB Movie 4 + DBZ Movies 10-11 appear to exist.

i have it but he never answered to any email i sent him

The catalog entries of Movies 10, 11, 12 and 13 exist on VGMdb and while Movie 6 is reportedly also on Drama Cassette/CD I've not found its catalog number.

Would be believable but you're Genjosanzo8 so it's hard to say if you're telling the truth. Probably not.

Thanks for the insight there, I will check it out.

You're welcome. I've never heard the actual quality of the LaserDisc JPN audio files but even those are vastly superior to the Dragon Box: The Movies, even FUNimation's Single Movie 13 audio surpasses the Dragon Box, too.

However, with those CD releases it's a given that it also beats the LaserDisc or it's at least an improvement over the LD. But either way, I can't find the LDs nor the CD audios.

The LDs are easy to purchase(used) around 30 dollars each, but the kicker is you also need to get an LD player, and possibly even a capture card if you want video... It can get pricey, which is why I'm assuming it's so hard to find digitized versions.

It would be cool to have the lossless audio tracks from the movies LD, but one day hopefully it might happen.

There have been fans who have sent them the broadcast audio

Does this broadcast audio you're referring to consist of multiple single audio channels for each episode (for example, separated dialogues, SFX, BGM), or it consists of a single channel mixed with dialogue+SFX+BGM?

Read that one of the LD's was selling for like $200 and honestly, no way I'd spend that much on something I'd just want to rip the audio's out of it. Then you'd have the issue of the equipment which would be another charge. There are people who have the LD audios ripped but won't share.

The FLAC broadcast audio is recorded in stereo, but the source is mono.

The fuck is going on here?
First, my signature "No lossless request". I am retarded person in this society of retarded persons who dont care about lossless and still live in the 90ts with mp3 and early 2000s.
Second... you want flac from LDs, go get it yourself. why would anyone buy them for your non human pleasing ear HD?
Third... Be thankful of what people share.

Now... Again.
The fuck is going on here? PLease, someone? resume!

No he was referring to me, I requested him to share the audio from his LD, but I didn't realize it would result in a hissy fit

My LD???? who said I had LD?

Well you provided links to the soundtrack channel for the laserdiscs, so I assumed, isn't easier to say you don't have them, rather than going on some passive aggressive rant?

And then it'd also be necessary to use a capture card (https://www.videohelp.com/oldguides/dazzlecapture) but after that things would be more of a breeze.

One thing I've learned from the Dragon Ball community is that I can't rely on them and if I want something done, I either have to get it myself somehow (have done with most things on Amazon/eBay that I wanted) or just wait till someone decides to upload it publicly.

I honestly would really love to get my hands on these LaserDiscs but I realistically don't see that happening. Hopefully somebody shares them.

Well, about the high prices, that's something which also happens with normal CDs... take Film Score Monthly, or Var�se as an example. This is the reason for which if I notice some interesting CD on Amazon/eBay, then I immediatly tend to buy it before the sell out. Prices would unfortunately be much higher, then! :)

True. I bought the FUNimation Dragon Boxes Z at retail price and now each cost about $200+.

The thing is, with the LaserDiscs I'd only rip out the audios and never bother with it again so a rental service would be more convenient. :P

Yahoo auctions Japan probably has them for cheaper, but I've yet to check, if I can't find rips I'll probably buy them and the equipment eventually

sorry . I mean ...

WHAT???


I'm gonna say "Fuck it", because I should not be here if there will be accusations.

The person who told me that the Dragon Box: The Movies sound just about the same as the LaserDiscs is a damn liar because even from a camera video it can be heard how crystal clear the audio quality is whereas the Dragon Box: The Movies is somewhat quiet, no punch so to speak and doesn't sound as good as it could be.

Orie @ It was just a misunderstanding.

I initially thought the same, but it sounds closer to the drama CDs than the dbox IMO

Yup, and we have a better chance of getting the LaserDisc audio as it's sold on used markets than the Drama CDs since they're so rare.

Fullscreen DB/Z and LaserDisc Audio is my dream release. I synced the Dragon Box: The Movies - Movie 13 to FUNimation's 4x3 release footage but it wasn't worth it, it sounds inferior to FUNi's JPN audio. ha ha

The drama cd audio is not so good.
They are just a VHS sound transfer. :/

Bio-Broly movie, I own original japanese VHS. comparing with the drama cd audio.... which is.... what it is... the sound is crappier.
Sailormoon movies had each one their own drama cd, and the sound is much better.

I'd really like to try to digitize the LDs somehow, I'm wondering if there's a cheaper way to do it however, 4-500 for discs + equipment is hard to swallow, maybe a few people can chip in

There's a good chance it's still an improvement over the Dragon Box: The Movies audio quality though probably not by much. Still, having multiple choices is great so wouldn't say no to that. :)

When I buy stuff, I try to buy in bulk or find the cheapest price for each product. Yahoo Auctions! is likely one of the cheaper place to get the LaserDiscs.

I have thought time and time again about using Share (Japanese P2P program) which possibly has a good chunk of Dragon Ball content there but never bothered to, it's all in Japanese and I can't read it. :p

have you tried bakabt for torrent.... or even nyatorrent for those LD?
they could have something. I think

BakaBT went private (so it's pretty hard now) and I've double and triple checked Nyaa.

This (https://nyaa.sl/) is a good alternative to the "normal" version of Nyaa since it has torrents which were deleted on the main website.

If someone would organize a group buy so that with just 20-25 $ for contributor we could collect the LDs and rip them with the proper equipment, then I would join it for sure.

Yup, that's what I was thinking, although I've never personally captured anything other than using FRAPS, so perhaps someone else should handle the capturing part, although if nobody wants to I can give it a shot, I know nothing about LDs or players though lol. We could also resell them after digitizing, and hopefully make the contributions back, but either way, if someone wants to set up something like this, I'd be down to contribute, or assist in any way I can.

I wouldn't mind giving $20~25 but I think the overall total would be around $540 ($390 - $30 per movie LD, the LaserDisc Player for about $150ish but possibly cheaper) and that doesn't include the capture card. I'd really like to see this be released someday.
