My rip. Score – FLAC Level 8, Drama tracks – MP3 (LAME 3.99.5 -V6). Scans included. Romaji tags. (Because I’m not thrilled with this score, I have cut corners with the tags. Sorry… but I’d rather get the album up with crappy tags than not at all, and I don’t have the motivation to spend a lot of time on this one.)

Well, here it is at last, folks – the third (of five) score release of 2012’s Super Sentai series, as composed by knockoff Sahashi specialist, Megumi Ohashi. I have discs 4 and 5, and will upload these later today.

This disc covers most of the score from the central theatrical outing – the movie "Protect The Tokyo Enetower". What can I say about it? It’s exactly 100% what you’d expect from a Sentai score. Not a single surprise. It’s good enough… but I think it’s starting to dawn on me that Megumi Ohashi’s range is severely limited – and let’s just say that this score does not compare favourably to Kousuke Yamashita’s glorious Gokaiger the previous year… Ohashi’s score isn’t offensive, or poor, or even mediocre. It’s a rollicking good fun Sentai score. Definitely one of those scores that’s fantastic to listen to, and absolutely flawlessly functional in the series for which it was written… but go in with the expectation that it won’t try anything new, won’t break any new ground, won’t make any attempt to extend the style, and won’t move one inch outside of the composer’s comfort zone.

In addition to the score, this disc is shamelessly padded (as all Sentai albums are) with a stupid twenty-minute radio drama and a thousand different versions of the opening and closing songs. I have downgraded the drama to MP3 quality at -V6. It shaves about 60mb off the final upload size and in my view that’s worth doing. The drama is talking and sound effects. FLAC is simply not necessary. Nobody wants to listen to it, anyway. If this particularly offends anybody and I get enough complaints, I’ll grudgingly upload the drama in FLAC… but, you know… I’ll resist… 😉

My rip.FLAC Level 8. Scans included. Romaji tags. (Because I’m not thrilled with this score, I have cut corners with the tags. Sorry… but I’d rather get the album up with crappy tags than not at all, and I don’t have the motivation to spend a lot of time on this one.)

Here are the two final Go-Busters discs – lots and lots of score on here, and no shitty drama tracks either! Yay! (It’s a two disc set – hence one cover.)

Warning: BIG download. 850mb. Good luck. 😉 If you have Google Chrome I recommend going for the Mega link.

Like any self-respecting Japanese moneygrabbing franchise, Sentai scores are released slowly in pieces, over the year in which the show runs. Traditionally, the first disc appears near the end of May, followed by a second in June-July (just songs – no score), a third in September containing more television score and the main theatrical movie score, and finally a double-disc set just before Christmas with the really good stuff.

I also don’t have the first disc (physically) because it was out of stock when I bought the other three in Tokyo… but it’s available here in MP3 @ 320kbps. GoBusters_OST1_mp3.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?hecbsrqj193o399)
