DBZ Budokai 1: Challengers (Long Version)

[aNbLiZz]

what part of the game does this song actually come in?

[BlazikenFiery]

Gotta say, this is probably the best song ever made that doesn't have voice in it.

[RedFlameFox]

@BlazikenFiery You should listen I'm hunting high and low

[BlazikenFiery]

@RedFlameFox I have, and I'm also Finnish (as is Stratovarius). I still think this is much better. ;)

[o94ght]

Open up a new tab and go here /watch?v=s_GzdQprJGE mute that vid and play this one and enjoy pure epicness.

[o94ght]

It played this song when goku fought frieza in the game.

[catapei]

this one is better than stratovarius' one.

[scalbard]

@catapei 1billion times better

[nyeshababy]

Idc who they took this song from they took it remastered it and made it epic

[GodOnStrike]

@nyeshababy Thankyou. 

[1995Herb]

This song rocks so hard

[NicoMetal64]

omg

[CrankDatRrated1]

Wut

[thejazzpolice21]

Sometimes I may win sometimes I lose.

[Dinodan3]

I can really care less if this was plagiarized. It's still my favorite song in the game. In any DBZ game, actually.

[killtheretards901]

Majin gohan

[IZISuperman]

miss youu budokai 1 ;( ! all is better before

[Edos512]

finally! I was searching this everywhere xD

[gigadeathlord]

@Edos512 Me too, This song is so awesome!

[socco90]

favourite theme

[DarkHorizon9653]

i decided to overlap this with hunting high and low and if you start challengers 5 seconds after hunting its the same drum....

[BlackDragonWing360]

Reminds me of my childhood playing this game. I loved it so much :)

[playboyx60]

Im buying the first Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi just because of this song :D

[JcmMasterJoseph]

@playboyx60 It ain't Tenkaichi :P

[Shahferoz15]

@JcmMasterJoseph this one is also in tenkaichi 1 :D

[playboyx60]

@JcmMasterJoseph it is still in that game :P

[AzelRavenWood]

SNOW STAGE BEATDOWN!!!!!! Love this Song....made me feel like i was literaly fighting...when i heard this song all i wanted to do is go either Kaio-Ken or Super Sayian and finish the fight in a super freaking way!!!! Avalanches warented!!!!

[NicDaSick]

Sounds like a good person is fighting an evil guy while he has low chance of wining

[nyeshababy]

Wasnt this'song on the second one?

[scalbard]

@nyeshababy nope

[EverydayThugs]

@scalbard Lol of course it was. If you're talking about Budokai 2 that is. During the snowy stage.

[zgtfreak]

@nyeshababy Yes.

[Faralakaboom]

NOW IM HUNTING HIGH AND LOOOOW!

[LegendBurito]

i always loved to fight cell with ssj2 gohan to this music

[LegendBurito]

mine too yanime



[Yanimeluvfan]

AWWW man this was my favorite song from the game!!

[Rightsponde]

nostalgiaaa

[ThePikafan25]

And how is this the long version? It's exactly the same time as the original.

[ComrnanderShepard]

I'm hunting high and low!

Oh wait...

[AceEliteProduction]

@ComrnanderShepard .i dont get it plz explain

[ComrnanderShepard]

@AceEliteProduction There is a song by Stratovarius called "Hunting High and Low". That song is where this come from.

[AceEliteProduction]

@ComrnanderShepard i just listened to hunting high and low they dont sound similar..

[ComrnanderShepard]

@AceEliteProduction I hope you're being ironic.

[AceEliteProduction]

@ComrnanderShepard lol no

[korshadow]

@AceEliteProduction *Facepalm*

[Athens561987]

CelBUU: "Scared of my overwhelming POWER? now to put you out of your MISERYYYYYYYY...." 10X Kamehameha

[dragonballz768]

I need this as a ring tone :)

[GreatPrinceX]

damn this hits me with almost as much nostalgia as the pokemon games. whenever this music was playing i found it almost impossible to lose i had so much damn motivation. best song

[ichigo6605]

@GreatPrinceX ikr iuse this song on my mp3 and hear it while i play bt3 i can use the weakest characters and i win

[ChromeStudioz]

Good times....

[AgentPofNewVestroia]

Yep, I might use some of DBZ:B's soundtrack for my custom Bakugan mix on Wii and DS. (Aquos maybe?)

[horo30]

Whoa this quality is high as fuck

[R8erNation636]

The next DBZ game should use the TeamFourStar voices. And Popo should be a playable character.

[TheXboxGamer34]

@R8erNation636 popo is a playable character...you just cant unlock him... he decides if you can play as him or not

[R8erNation636]

Where did you send them, Mr. Popo?

I'll tell you where they're not... safe.

[Melotha]

@R8erNation636 If that were to happen, I would have to show everybody in that game the pecking order.

[R8erNation636]

It goes you, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, Popo's stool, Kami... then Popo...

[Shinde425]

Love is a good word to describe how I feel about this track :]

[SSJProtecter]

The fact that this song being a copy of Hunting High and Low is not news. Is anyone surprised they didn't find out about the copyright sooner?

[TheJamesrocket]

This will always be goku vs nappa.

[remuaja84]

Direct ripoff...outrageous! Should've asked Stratovarius if they could use the song, should have been no problem...

[xxxxRuffyxxxx]

I remember that theme from Dragonball Budokai Tenkaichi 1. I think it only came in one fight in the story mode.

[MaxxorZ1]

@xxxxRuffyxxxx Yeah SSJ4 Gogeta Vs Bebi

[kender092]

this sounds like hunting high and low of stratovarius

[narutokid2]

@kender092: It is copied from that song. :/

[Ultimauser50]

@narutokid2 It's not coppied!

[narutokid2]

@Ultimauser50: Not exactly, I mean plagarized.

[Ultimauser50]

@narutokid2 It's not plagarized if they have copyrights.

[narutokid2]

@Ultimauser50: Oh didn't you hear? Kenji Yamamoto, the composer of this music, got fired for plagarizing multiple music for his own music. If you read the news, you should know by now that this is plagarized from the song "Hunting High and Low" by Stratovarius.

[IDrocaI2]

@narutokid2 Yea but this sounds better , so this is actually a upgrade 

[MrXboxps3wii]

@narutokid2 who cares, both the song and dbz are awesome.

[narutokid2]

@MrXboxps3wii: Hey, I'm just being informative here. Don't get me wrong, I like this version, I'm not hating on Kenji Yamamoto, it's for those who didn't know about the news. :/

[NeoSigma18]

@narutokid2

[narutokid2]

@NeoSigma18: Umm, that would be a different Kenji Yamamoto (born in 1964), the music composer from Nintendo. The Kenji Yamamoto (born in 1958) I'm talking about is the one who composes most of the DBZ music, the Dragonball Game music, and all of the DBZ Kai BGMs. (I suspect that he has a different name, and that he took the other composer's name) They are both different people, just with the same name.

[NeoSigma18]

@narutokid2 O_O I didn't know that either. But they're both good composers.

[ge0rge121]

@kender092 it is high and low..

[solar464]

@kender092 no it doesnt.

[ilyktosk8]

@solar464 wrong

[solar464]

@ilyktosk8 fuck you too.

[ilyktosk8]

@solar464 aww did i hurt ur feelings kid?

[solar464]

@ilyktosk8 well that remark proves im older than you, this convos over. im done talkin with retards

[ilyktosk8]

@solar464 not sure if troll

[MrDjwithers]

@kender092 it is the people who did this soundtrack sampled it from stratovarius so when they say "OMG budokai had the best music!" they should thank stratovarius :L

[MasterZhaituki]

@MrDjwithers Might sound little similar, but yet it's different. As accurate ears as i have will hear the difference.

[bensonbone]

@kender092 itsnt it?



[TroubleComplex]

@kender092 i know you've probably herd this a bizillion times but the guy from Funimation who rights the songs for dbz stole most of the songs from others and just changed a few notes here and there so he could call them his own :/ lol xD it is from stratovarius and the creater of the forged song is now in jail o.0

[Extraspectacular92]

@TroubleComplex It's Kenji Yamamoto, who isn't from Funimation, who stole the songs. -__-

[wtfcowbbq]

@Extraspectacular92 how did he steal it?

[Extraspectacular92]

@wtfcowbbq Search for Kenji Yamamoto music scandal on youtube and there should be a vid comparing some of compositions to other people's original track. For some tracks it was pretty much Yamamoto stealing them.

[wtfcowbbq]

@Extraspectacular92 wow just cause its similar dont mean they stole it kenji probably never even heard of that band cause i never did either till u people commenting it and i have a friend that make music and some people asked if he borrowed samples from some song and he never even heard of them

[Extraspectacular92]

@wtfcowbbq It's not a coincidence that they both sound the same (as opposed to saying similar). You can't be that naive. He basically took someone's song and put his own spin on it. Rappers sample and steal music all the time, I know that. But usually on the back of the album, it would (or not) usually say where they sampled the beat. Yamamoto on the other hand, passed of his works as his own, and got caught.

[wtfcowbbq]

@Extraspectacular92 they dont even sound the same i heard the song it just has a similar rhythm it sounds nothing alike and like i said my friend made a beat which sounded similar to another song so somebody thought he took a sample which he didnt he never even heard of that sample or that song before

[Extraspectacular92]

@wtfcowbbq Seriously? Do you not get the concept of plagiarism? It's like when you write a paper, copy paste words from another source, but change a couple words and call it your own work. THAT'S STEALING. I don't know why this is so hard for you to grasp. And they definitely do sound alike unless you're 80 years old and can't tell the difference. PLUS HE GOT IN TROUBLE SO OBVIOUSLY YAMAMOTO STOLE IT...

[wtfcowbbq]

@Extraspectacular92 wow seriously do u not get it im saying that he didnt steal shit ur acting as if i dont know wtf stealing is idk why that is so fucking hard for u to grasp and they dont sound alike u must be 12 then if u think they sound even remotely alike and if he got in trouble its probably cause he never fought back to defend himself

[Extraspectacular92]

@wtfcowbbq First of all, I'm gonna be 20 in 10 days. Second. You are THE ONLY FUCKIN PERSON, who thinks he didn't steal, because I guess it just won't sink in. You know why he didn't fight back? BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT'S FUCKIN TRUE! I don't know why you plan on taking this to the grave, because you're the first person to say that it wasn't stolen, when a million other persons would say otherwise. SMH.

[wtfcowbbq]

@Extraspectacular92 lmao look at u getting all mad stop being so sensitive its not like that band is ur boyfriend and there is a lot of people that agrees with me he didnt fight back cause japanese people usually dont fight back and stop following what other people say be urself dont be a follower

[Extraspectacular92]

@wtfcowbbq I'm not being sensitive. I could care less about whatever band he stole it from, I can't even spell it's name. Let's grow up for a sec. But what is getting me upset, is the fact that you refuse to accept the obvious truth. It's like if someone says the sky is blue, and here you come saying "nope... it's red". I'm not following anyone (if I was I would have mentioned a source, DUH). You're just retarded, that's all it is. Kids these days.

[lordbrioan]

@wtfcowbbq Kenji yamamoto did plagarize multiple songs. He didn't just take from stratovarius. Multiple songs from budokai 1 were ripped from that band. He plagarized a pink floyd song on DBZ super butouden 2 as well, but thats all i know.

[wtfcowbbq]

@TroubleComplex how do u know if he stole the song or not?

[akool94]

always reminded me of naruto 

[cralink]

pana name of this song?

[FedorCroCop44]

rap sucks

[BDG013]

@FedorCroCop44 this isnt even remotely rap

[FedorCroCop44]

@BDG013 no shit you retard i was saying rap sucks as in its not music this is....fucking idiot

[BDG013]

@FedorCroCop44 lol so you go around attacking random genres on video game songs. keep your hate to yourself and enjoy the instrumental

[Chriscool451]

how could anyone hate this song

[alphamone]

@Chriscool451

if you are the band stratovarius, you could be pissed off about this uncredited arangement. >.> <.<

[DanieleBosi]

I'm full of nostalgia now...

I want the american version of Budokai 1 and replay all the game !

The European version sucks too much for the censorship and an horrible translation, and I prefer the american dub too, expecially because the american dub of Budokai 1 is the best voice action I never heard in a DBZ videogame !

[MrMillerboy6]

WILD RECOOME APPEARED!! GO! VEGETA! what will vegeta do fight run

>bag z-fighters

Bag: >masterball

RECOOME the redhead Ginyu-mate it is in the ginyu force and is always along side with guldo at most times and with captain ginyu, it is also very powerful

give a nickname to recoome?

>Yes no

Nickname: FRICKIN HARD TO CATCH WITHOUT MASTERBALL!!!!!!

[campoobutt]

@TheRatedOportunist94 You mean Stratovarius? lol

[lanreezy23]

whats the song called in DBZ BUDOKAI THT PLAYS WEN U BECOME SUPER SAYIN GOKU VS FRIEZA AND GOKU'S LIKE " IM THE GUY WHO SAVES THE PEOPLE WEN THEY NEED ME, CUZ IM A SUPER SAAAIIIIIYYAAANNNNN! " ????

[PlanetYardrat]

To me this is the second best song in the game

[MrCOHDEE]

EVERYONE WATCH JALEPENOJR's KEYTAR COVER OF THIS, IT'S SO GOOD

[oceangroupgamer2k9]

1:03-1:06 "cus im hunting high and low" cant beileve yamamoto ripped this off of stratsvarious he even ripped another 2 songs off the same album!?

[alphamone]

@oceangroupgamer2k9

he has actualy been fired, and caused the release of dragon ball kai to go into chaos, all due to his music ripoffs in kai.

[QuirkyGengar]

Fighting with Future Trunks against the androids with this music, just seemed fitting to me. I always loved finishing off the androids with Burning Attack.

[dat1ngadaime]

@QuirkyGengar BURNING......ATTACK!!! HHHHAAAAAAA!!! WARG!! lol just my fav trunks lines from the game

[QuirkyGengar]

@dat1ngadaime That was badass of Trunks to do. I also loved the sound he made when he moved his arms around.

[CaucusFlow]

This song always played when I was trunks on the Snowy level on B2

[thepsychoripper]

this theme is the sole reason i always picked planet namek to fight on in the original

[Buradori0]

I noticed something in DBZ BT1. The battle music played in vs. mode depended on the match up. This played during SS GOKU vs SS Vegeta!

[tropeller]

i kept dying to perfect cell (power-weighted)

as SS2 gohan

until i played this song

THEN I BEAT HIS ASS!!

[BOXGAMER14]

epic music epic battle

[nightmaster552]

5 people dont like music

[Zaleck28]

@nightmaster552 Oh, yeah, nice one Obvious Captain.

[nightmaster552]

@Zaleck28 next time try it with:

Captain Obvious

[AzEvanz]

5 People Couldn't Turn Super Saiyan

[MetalSEGAKid1990]

@AzEvanz lol I can I really did it once........

[smsjgoku]

@AzEvanz i dont think the other 202 can either :P

[Nintendosaiyan3]

@AzEvanz 206 people couldn't either, but they just have a good taste in music 8D

[Keurgui1]

this song would be so AWESOME on raging blast i could just imagine that

[LuciferD666]

I love this song,world tournament(aka SS Goku vs Freiza,SS2A vs Cell)theme,Move Foward Fearlessly,and many more of the DBZ Budokai series. It had one of the best soundtracks of all fighting games.Raging Blast 2 also has a pretty beast soundtrack too.

On another note.If anyone reads this comment. Dosen't this song sound like the instimental version of Stratovarius' "Hunting High and Low"? I think either was inspired by the other.

anyway great song. and thx for extending it.CD ver.is short.

[Linscape99]

@LuciferD666 Yes, it does, very much! I had not heard of the song until you mentioned it, but thank you, it's awesome!

[LuciferD666]

@Linscape99 your welcome. just thought you should know.

[inu5450]

I'd always pick Namek because when this song played it made me kick ass 10x harder

[Yert456CP]

@inu5450 Me too! In fact I defeated everyone I challanged in that stage PERFECTLY 20 times now.

[bartiz12]

at least we can play custom soundtracks in RB series so downloading all from Budokai 1 :)

[SONICsdahiasd]

@bartiz12 You can?

[bartiz12]

@SONICsdahiasd yes, finally it is available in some ps3 game :) small thing but always fun to use, i am going to download entire DB Budokai, budokai 3, maybe BT2 and some other soundtrack i like and play it in game. Also when i want to record some footage for mini movie or something ( for fun) i just select "silent" music file for 4 minutes and set it to replay xD

[AzEvanz]

It reminds me of Budokai 1: Namek big time. Everything is dying..Gokus vs Frieza Final Battle. All or nothing

[KhartherMaximillian]

I'm hunting High and Low , diving from the sky above , looking for , more and more . . .

[ipeedmypants]

This is the perfect sparring song :) 

[animefreak873]

i dont play consuls now a days but a couple years back when i played my game cube this was my most played game even more played then Mario party 4 and that's saying something!

[YoshiDundee01]

Sorry to keep you waiting. SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!!

[ReikoMetallica]

best bdokai song evaaaaa

[Achilles11Spear]

KAMEHAMEHAAAA

[masteremostyle]

this song is so awsome it take me 2 hour to find it finally i found it :D ty very much

[itachi93674]

Why cant they make a good raging blast game with better controls more characters and budokai 1 music

[smsjgoku]

who ever composed the instrumentals for the budokai series is a genius

[DreamyGhost1492]

@smsjgoku The people who composed the music for Budokai need to team up with Bruce Faulconer. He's the one who did all of the music for the anime series. And you have to admit, there was some pretty intense music in the series.

[smsjgoku]

@DreamyGhost1492 yea they both seem to be amazing however their genres of music are too different for them to work together i think

[DreamyGhost1492]

@smsjgoku That's why it would be amazing. You take 2 of the same, you get the same. You take 2 of something different, you get something that could be amazing.

[smsjgoku]

@DreamyGhost1492 i see your point now :)

[DreamyGhost1492]

@smsjgoku Exactly. That's how some of the greatest bands are created. Take Van Halen for example. Eddie Van Halen didn't start out playing guitar. He was originally on drums while Alex Van Halen was on guitar. But look at them now? Complete opposites. Eddie Van Halen turned out to be one of the greatest guitar players in the world and Alex Van Halen turned out to be one of the best drummers in the world. It's same with Bruce and the Budokai dudes. Different isn't always bad. It can be amazing.

[qohs79]

Best song to ever come from a DBZ game. Also, my favorite and the best VGM I've heard

[seanE1188]

epic song against frieza!

[stupidjerk123456789]

This was always my favorite theme to fight to when I had this game.

[Yert456CP]

@stupidjerk123456789 I love this song so much, I would play it and NOBODY would defeat me!

[acoti]

@Yert456CP Same here dude. My friends would quit the match when this song come on and start a new round.

[TheSchwarzhaar]

They should produce a DBZ Tenkaichi Game with all tracks they ever made!!! *.*

[ala4akbar]

omfg its so sad .. good ol' memories of budokai 1!!!!

[blackdoom5]

like father like granddaughter at 0:26

[Soadevafan933212]

Total rip off of Hunting High and Low by Stratovarius LOL

[CJX5]

hey, i think this was a stage theme for Budokai 2 too (the snowy tower stage i think)

man i've been looking for this song

[Runner077]

It sounds like a Joe Satriani song.

[givmespace]

ee vibrationo

[DBZdude95]

Best Dbz Game song EVER!!!!! Loved this since dbzb1 came out it always made me feel good :D

[Yert456CP]

This shoud go on a Super Smash Bros game. Namek will be one of those stages you have to unlock and you'd need to get some tool to equip to your character if it cant fly. So that when it comes to those times where you have to fly and continue your battle you do just that or you will go out of bounds. I know funimation has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with Nintendo, but just imagining. Anything can happen, Sonic is a SEGA character and he made it in brawl.

[smashbrosfan25]

@DXSXDXSXD try hunting high and low.
