RIP sweet prince

After a dream that never will end, in a world made up of nothingness
It almost seems as if, that all of our beloved dreams are about to lose and...
Even with unrealiable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I am sure we can fly, on my love

Never noticed how these songs can have such a sad tone.Hold me /a/.;_;
I'm glad our local dub kept the original Japanese soundtrack and opening/ending themes.
>>139796423
Same here.
I pity america for not having this.
What I am about to tell you will break your hearts
Paul Gordon 1963 – February 18, 2016
Kouji Wada January 24, 1974 – April 3, 2016
>>139796575
>Paul Gordon
Who?
>>139796423
I'm actually glad they didn't here.
The OP here was stupid, but the madmen actually kept butter-fly at the last scene of adventure, when they are on the bus with Mimi's hat flying.
It's such an iconic memory to me that I actually think it's better that way.
“I’ll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind
I’ll come to see you soon"
“If we take our time, and we stick together, everything we do,
will go our way. And if we try, now and forever, no matter what comes next,
we’ll be okay.”
>>139792660
Cross is pretty universal, maybe they thought Western kids would understand easier?
>>139796596
One of the American composers/ performers for the series.
Most notably he performed this song and "Hey Digimon"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xDFWYt_pbY
Shit, I forgot about this song despite watching it hundreds of times when I was a wee lad. Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.
>>139796873
Nice song.
>>139794626
Ah fuck, listening to this after the upbeat version is making me real sad as shit. I didn't need this tot start my day damnit.

Why is life so cruel? Seriously though these guys were way too young...
wait what he was recovering from cancer HE WAS RECOVERING THEY FUCKING LIED
>>139797561
I'm so sad right now, I didn't even know of his passing either. Today is a hard day for the digidestined.
>>139797585
He just wanted you to be happy.
what the fuck
>>139798123
neither us can, anon
>>139798586
not edgy or anything, but you're edgy
>>139798586
Here we go.
It's the same thing with Iwata. It doesn't have to be your fucking relative to care, it's the fact people care for what this man has done for their childhoods, including this guy here as well. I'm not as effected sadly because I didn't really even know him period until just now, but others care and I understand how they feel. Iwata, although I didn't know him much either, I known him just from the Nintendo Directs and know he was the one behind great things like Pokemon, Earthbound, and mostly, Smash Bros. So I can have a bit of feels when I heard of his passing, and why I get people here on how they feel as well.
>not edgy or anything
>why do you faggots give a fuck about this
Because caring is better than complaining about others doing so. That's more humane than what you're doing. You wouldn't like it if you had someone you cared for get shit on like your doing. Learn to be a better person.
>I want to become a cheerful butterfly
>and ride on the shimmering wind
>I'm coming to see you now
>It's better to forget those unecessary things
>There's no more time for us to be fooling around
>I wonder if we could reach the sky
>but I don't even know what my plans are for tomorrow
>Followed by an endless dream
>In this world without anything
>It seems like we will lose our beloved dream, but
>even with these unreliable wings, full images that tend to stay

>On my loveIt's like he's still talking to us.;_;
>>139798586
Literally autistic.
>>139799075
I'm playing this on repeat tonight. What should I drink?
>>139797585
I'm thinking he had complications afterward. My friend's mother recovered and then it came back twice as aggressively and took her. Might be what happened to him. Cancer is brutal.
>>139798586
Why the fuck would we care about what the fuck you thought is? You are just fucking one person on the fucking different side of fucking globe.

Fuck, I loved Butterfly and Biggest Dreamer. Would watch Digimon on local cable just to listen to those songs. And to think this happened just as it seemed he had recovered from his cancer. I guess listening to those two songs wouldn't be the same ever again.
Also, this should be stickied. And did his death trend in Japan? I'm not seeing his name or anything Digimon related in the list of trends in Japan.

Why would it? Nobody really gives a shit about Digimon over there, at least not to any meaningful degree.
>>139799604
Trends only track hashtags, right? Most people probably aren't making a point to use those
>>139799604
I know Ichiro Mizuki made a mention of it on his twitter.
>>139800157
Butterfly is one of the most iconic anime theme songs of all time.
>>139800450
Not always. I remember when Miyu died her name was trending, with no hashtag.

>>139792615
Holy shit this is the last thing I wanted to happen. I am heavily back into Digimon with the reboot and I love every song he's done for the series. I am too steeped in nostalgia to handle these feels.
I'm about to cry bros. At least he managed to create amazing news versions for Tri.
Sleep well in the the Digital World, Wada-san. Thanks for my childhood.
>>139801574
>Digimon Tri 3 end roll

I wake up and decide to check /a/ while eating breakfast and now my food is all wet with tears

Are you me?
>tfw persistent raspy cough and constantly clearing phlegm from throat
>probably lung cancer and i don't even smoke
>>139798586
I live on the same side of the world as him and pretty much everyone here is devastated.
He was a big part of everyone's childhood and of us weebs in general.
I know you're baiting but you're just a random dude on the other side of the world who won't inspire as many lives as mr. Wada did.
Keep up with your edge and probably your friends and relatives would think of you as just a random dude when you leave this world
>>139801176
Could you do one for Biggest Dreamer?
>>139792615
you all shit pretending lifes matter when yourself waste your own
kill yourself thanks
>>139802137What country anon?
>>139802101
I have a bad polyp on my vocal chords but its not cancerous. Does make my voice super fucked up though and I can't talk for more than an hour straight before it gives out completely. I also wake up a lot with coughing fits.
Doesn't help that I'm a girl so I always sound like I have a bad smoker voice. Since its not life threatening it would cost a lot of money to fix it.
Well, I guess my dream of him singing a duel OP with Rica Matsumoto is gone.
2016 sucks ass.

If we do it now, we'll start crying while singing

You are right faggot. He JUST was only related to full 4chan right? There was no reason to get a sticky, right?
He loved /a/ the most and created it in the beginning to talk about anime and manga when /a/ and /b/ where one so shut your fucking mouth you newfag.

Might be wrong but cancer can hit anyone because it's basically just your DNA getting messed up.
That's why radioactivity causes cancer, it fucks up your genes.
>>139816311
Radioactivity aside, can't cancer hit anyone?
Your body is bound to makes mistakes when creating and assembling new DNA form time to time. It's just a matter of how that affects the body.

Origa was for SAC, not a kids' show.
>>139816691
It can but 100 years ago it wasn´t like that because one died before it happened Now because of grow hormone on chickens and cows it accelerates and literally everyone could get it.
If you are worried about cancer I suggest eating brocoli, col, spinachs, shit like that makes that your cells split slowly. I would suggest stop eating meat but a life like that isn´t worth living

Digimon Adventure did a great job with exploring characters issues and giving solutions to them. I watched it only recently since it wasn't airing in my country and enjoyed it, also the target audience of Digimon Tri is not kids anymore.

What's the beat sequence of Digimon songs for the mourning process?
I'm thinking it'd start off with Butterfly, middling with WE ARE XROS HEART X7 to bring you up then ending with Butterfly/Seven from Tri, for appropriateness and hope.

>>139819090
I rememnber that anon asking for submissions every 5 digimon threads (Did he ever finish it? Sent a submission but ever seen it done fully ;_;) or the small section in the k/a/mikyoku.
The fact /a/ never covered Butter-Fly would be a shame, considering how good and popular the song is actually.
>>139819366
I honestly don't know, if it's not been done yet /a/ needs to do it. I might not generally get into these things but I might even on in for this one.
>>139792615
Fuck man...
It's so strange for me. My country didn't have a cover based on the original melody for the opening, but when tri. was announced, a band that usually composes music for cartoons arranged it.

That and the theme song that played during V-Mon's evolution to Magnamon are my favourite unreleased theme songs.
So it's agreed that Gomamon was the best, right?
Is quite curious how is not Akiyoshi Hongo who passed away but Kouji Wada, the person who sang an opening of an anime which happens to be quite memorable and easy to identify by many even after 16 years, you think digimon would have the same impact if it wasn't for this song? Is practically THAT digimon song we think about when we think about digimon. Here in mexico we had localize version of it which is also good but nothing beats the original. What's also great is that he sang most digimon openings and some other songs for the show, so is hard to separate Kouji with Digimon because he was there in all the seasons we saw. And even if he had other songs and some for other series, is thanks to digimon he became big. Rest in Peace Kouji Wada,your songs will always be heard for years ahead
>>139822418

It's a company alias, like Hajime Yadate.

Seeing his early live version to the later ones is heart wrenching! It really shows how he started and slowly got harder and harder to sing and its... like MAN! And the audience and other singers adding themselves in to support him...! Damn!
It also makes me wornder how many times he had to take takes for each song, how hard it was to get those perfect ones we heard as the openings and inserts.

No hate allowed on this tread, not today.
The last two times I cried was today (not due to his death however) and the ending of the pre adventure ova thing over a year ago.
Despite not growing up with butterfly and this being one of my first real listens to it, I cried pretty hard at both the emotion in the song varient used and Taichi and gaymon. Wada left a hell of an emotional mark on the work he did, he had an amazing charm to his voice and it conveyed a lot of feelings.

Do you live in Japan? They have a fucking concert every year to celebrate Digimon, there's a slew of anniversary merchandise and everything. Digimon never died in Japan. And Adventure is considered a classic anime, along with Butter-Fly.

But then how will we know now when that that cute girl is actually a boy?
>>139837230
She's been a fan since the first game in PSX.
>>139836881From the quality of each film I doubt Toei even knows what is going to happen on the next two.
>>139837345
Tbh, having an annual concert about some forgotten show isn't really an indicator of how widespread or liked a franchise is, and neither is something being considered a classic.
I tried my hand at singing the piano version of Butter-Fly, to use in an /a/ sings or not. I also did an English one because it's just easier for me.

I fucking wish they had made a direct adaptation of butter-fly here in BR instead of that digi-rap nonsense.
And to add salt to injury, we had an amazing track record of adapting op songs for our dubs at the time, I actually think Tamers and Frontier's BR versions were better than the originals.It could be partially due to nostalgia, but the point is that they were really good.

Then I rewatched it a few years ago so while I didn't grow up with the original songs, they're still pretty important to me.
>>139815951
At this point I'm convinced that as far as japanese are concerned, it is mostly very shitty genetics.
