If it will lessen the time just do season one's

I remember you said you were going to do a list and give your thoughts.

Why Didn't "Revelation Lugia" and "Lord of the Unown Tower" Release More BGM?

This is a question that's been burning on my mind for quite some time now. Basically, every Pocket Monsters movie has about two dozen unique and newly composed instrumental tracks that later get inserted into the regular series. In addition, a CD is generally released for each movie with almost all of the instrumental tracks from the associated movie featured.

However, for the 2nd movie, only six instrumental tracks were released, and only three instrumental tracks from the 3rd movie (I'm excluding the music from Pikachu and Pichu).

Anyone know why that is? Was the music from these movies just not as popular with Japanese audiences as the music from other movies, or something like that?

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

What's equally puzzling is how movie 2 is the only one with image songs for the movie-exclusive characters. Although I suspect Takeshi Kaga's involvement may have had something to do with that.

Come on. Tell me a Mewtwo image song wouldn't be badass. Tell me you don't want to hear Alberto have a song about how great he is.

Well I remember in the Giant Claydol episode there was a scene were wobbefett was playing lugia's song

Are you talking about the dub, or did the original have the original Lugia's Song as well?

Hi there

I wonder if some1 know the title of these music which played in the eng dub anime:

* [S05E56 - A Claim to Flame!] near the end of the ep, when ash was carrying the torch. Also it was played in [S08E19 - Eight Ain't Enough] when juan gave ash the rain badge at the end of the ep.

* [S05E57 - Love, Pokémon Style] when squirtle used hydropump against quilava and defeated macey. Also, it was played in [S05E60 - Can't Beat the Heat!] when charizard successfully used seismic toss against blastoise.

"Dragonite Takes Flight" from 1st movie score
but i dont know the second one...sorry

 

[Dogasu]

The music from "A Claim to Flame," like impactkhtennis_thewind said, is "Dragonite Takes Flight." It's from the English version of the first Pokemon movie and is on this CD. The song can also be purchased on iTunes.

The music from "Love, Pokemon Style" is a piece of Japanese music that hasn't been released on any CD yet. Therefore, we don't have a title for it. It's actually one of my favorite pieces of Jouto background music (it's the one that has the instrumental of "OK" in it at the end), so I hope with the GS remakes out now there will at least be some incentive to release the rest of the anime Jouto music on CD soon.

 

[impactkhtennis_thewind]

what is the "OK" that you mentioned?

 

[Adamant]

"OK" is the third Japanese intro song, used for the first half of the Johto arc.

 

[Takoto]

The Back-ground music is almost impossibly to get legally.

 

[Jackson_H]

Lots of great pieces of music.

These are my favorite.

Tears of Life - Pokemon: The First Movie
Lugia's Song - The Power of One
Tears, After the Cloudy Weather (anime)
To Be Continued (anime)
A Meeting and Parting (anime)

Also a great theme but I don't know the name. Not sure if it's Japanese or 4Kids made music.

An example of it playing is when Charizard performs Seismic Toss on Gary's Blastoise.

What's your favorite music from Pokemon?

Kanto Champion battle theme. I'm so sad it hasn't been released on CD... Same with the gym theme.

Japanese soundtracks for movie and 1 and 2 are great, as well as my fave movie 9.

 

[Insanish Danish]

You know, I cannot even answer this question. I love basically every piece of Japanese BGM from Pokemon in existence. They're all so lovely. <3

Dub wise, I really like the piece 4Kids did, the one that plays when Ash is riding away from the Spearow with Pikachu on Misty's bike, from the first episode.

 

[Grave-E]

My personal favourite is the anime's take on the Team Magma/Aqua battle theme. It's a fairly standard, somewhat forgettable piece in the video games imo, but the show really does a great job of making it sound exciting and fast paced. It's seldom used these days, which is a shame since it does an excellent job at accentuating the action.
Last I remember it being used (for more than a few seconds) was when Staravia went up against Turtwig in the second gym. Watch the AG Taillow and Pikachu fight though. The music makes an already cool battle even better.

Also real fond of the classic Wild Pokemon Battle theme, especially the longer version that uses the piano at certain points. Was recently used in the Ursula vs. Jessie match, but was used to great effect during the Kanto Grand Festival clash between May and Drew.

 

[Every Breaking Wave]

I don't know what it's called, but it's the piece that played when Charizard Seismic Tossed Articuno in that first Frontier Brain match - epic.

 

[Koaji-Kun]

i like all the bgm japonese music is so awsome

especially the theme when ash monferno battles the paul electabuzz.

and when staravia evolves to staraptor against paul hounchkrow

i don't know what is the name of that song

 

[XXKojiMusaXX]

Hmmmmmm, this is a tough one considering I love most of the Japanese music, I guess I narrow it down to these:

-Kanto Champion battle theme
-Rocket-Dan Boss' Theme
-Rocket-Dan Motto (all versions)
-To Be Continued
-Rocket-Dan Original Motto (Remix)
-Let's Run!


...And not sure what these two BGM's are called, but the one from DP156 where the Rocket-Dan battle Fukamaru, Satoshi, and Hikari.

And hmmmmm, the one that was last in DP065 when the Rocket-Dan are spying on the Twerps vs. Kabarudon....


:3

I like the every single gym battle song (I forgot the names) but
Tears of Life is my favorite of all time, its sad yet beautiful.
