Whoever this NIS America Company is, they suck.

I like Bleach and I like Music.
And I really like good Music.

So, Bleach Soul Ressurection is a first-party Sony-Title in Japan and was brought over by NIS America. Mkay?
All the Music is in the Game belongs to Sony Music Entertainment, so there shouldnt be rights issues. Mkay?


So, in Japan... they get this
(skip to 0:35)



Thanks to NIS America, overseas we get this




What is this shit.
I know none of you care, but i just had to let my rage out somewhere.

Changing a great track with that generic piece of shit stock music.

So? Neither song is bad. =P

This has been happening for years anyway. It's not just NIS America. Just look at this:

American:



Japanese:



The video is of the anime's opening but they're the same thing.

Great anime, by the way. All of you should watch it.

[shadowDOESrock]

Well yeah, but thats for a TV Show, happens more often.


But the "Bleach" one was about a Videogame. A frickin' videogame. =L
And you actually like the american track? I thought it was horrible. >.<
The Show has all the same opening music.

As for that Bomberman, again, the Japanese Track is better. :l

No, no. You don't understand.

The company that made the anime acquired the rights from Hudson or whatever and in response Hudson made a game using resources and characters from the anime (they fucked the story sideways, btw). The game used the anime's intro in Japan but when localized they swapped it for the American one I showed you above.

I agree 100%.

Well, thats stupid. Especially considering the Japanese Openings are generally way better - even for western audiences.
Is it so hard to simple put in subs instead of making a completely new track?  :/

[TheGameNinja]

It happens sometimes. The Eureka seveN games lost their original opening song too when they were brought over here. It's probably not NISA's fault.

How can they suck? They released Disgaea, GrimGrimoire, Mana Khemia, and Ar tonelico!

Overly Japanese songs are off putting to some people. Japanese companies are afraid their games won't sell as well with Japanese music.

The switch is understandable but stupid.

It'd be nice for the option for the original Japanese music, yeah, but how often do you watch game intros anyway?

I'm pretty sure the generic stock music has a even worse effect.

And i like to watch openings when i launch a game... when they're good that is. Which is rare nowdays.

Out of those, i only heard of Disgaea.

[Hakudamashi]

What about intros where they use the Japanes soundtrack, but remove the lyrics?



Sh*t, just realised it's the same thing, well, some games I think pull it off very well.

Personally, i wouldnt be able to call out one title from the top of the head that does so.
Not for a game anyway.

[shadowDOESrock]

Oh wow. That makes... one.

And about the Bleach Soul Resurrection Opening - what makes me grind my gears even more is that the same track is being used in one of the newer seasons openings which AIRS ON AMERICAN TV. Unchanged. So, i really dont see why they changed it.

 

but how often do you watch game intros anyway?

Three times, apparantly.


The Title actually makes it seem like they know its bad.

[Hakudamashi]

Oh wow. That makes... one.

It's all about having kickass instruments in the first place, so sometimes, the vocals actually ruin a song...

Wat.
Oh my god, we had the proper song in the PAL Version.



So... why does America need an extra cake?

Cause America is a complete entity that exists on another plane of existence separate from the rest of the world.
