Happy♡Takoyaki Magic [2:29:43] Ripped/scanned by me Normally I would have separated these into their own videos, but because both Nippon Columbia & the RIAJ are getting really picky now about having their material uploaded onto YT, I've decided to combine these all into a single video just to be on the safe side. Anyways—this video compiles all the BGM from all of the soundtrack CD albums released for Toei Animation's "Magical Taruruuto-kun" anime from the 90s. Music Collection I contains music from the TV show, while Music Collection II, III, and Song & Music Collection '92 contain music for the three Taruruuto-kun movies that were released while the TV show was still airing. Some BGM tracks from the movies were used throughout the TV show, though. What do I think of the music? ABSOLUTE KINO!! People like to hype up Yokoyama's works, especially with Saint Seiya—but a lot of the tracks within that franchise either just sounded too identical to one another or they just weren't captivating enough to retain my interest. I'm sure they work within the context of the show but it's not something I could find myself listening to outside of it. Taruruuto-kun's BGM though? Probably some of the best work I've heard from Yokoyama so far. All the tracks that play whenever Honmaru & Taruruuto are up to their usual antics are so incredibly silly & playful, and sum up the show just about right I'd say. Any other accompanying tracks that play during heated or emotional moments throughout the franchise are also just as good—even though I had already been opening myself up to 90s OSTs a while back, these OSTs pretty much convinced me that maybe some 90s material is worth checking out after all. My only complaints—there is some unreleased BGM. I didn't keep track of it all but I know for sure that the show's bridge collection cues weren't included here at all. Also, Music Collection I unfortunately suffers from the same kind of mixing that some of Yokoyama's other albums have had, where they make the BGM cues cross-fade into each other instead of just making them their own separate tracks. Really lame! Hoping Nippon Columbia does a proper release of this show's music one day. Anyways, enjoy!!
