Digimon English Dub Isolated BGM Master Post Part 1/3
Since I've been re-doing a lot of these tracks, I figured it might be nice to upload them all as a master post (or rather, 3 master posts, as per tumblr's limits). You can download all of the files here.
PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3

Something I am always wondering about Digimon is, who it was that had the idea to give the show such a strong musical identity. Like, nothing about "shonen monster taming show" screams "we need tons of memorable songs". Like, sure, other shonen series also have good songs. But Digimon really has a very recognizable musical identity - especially for the first four seasons (which is no slight against the later seasons, it is just that due to mostly the same music staff for the first four seasons they are very coherent from a musical perspective). And there are just so many songs. So many really good songs.
And, I mean... Musical-wise I absolutely adore seasons 2 and 3. Though I will readily admit, that the songs in Xros Wars slap hard. I did not like the show in any regard, but darn, the music slams!

One thing that made 90s and 2000s dubs for children’s anime special is that they produced American made vocal soundtracks.

wild that movies still bother having pop soundtracks when Digimon: The Movie had the best one that will ever be made back in 2000.
like, it had Barenaked Ladies. it had Rockafeller Skank. it had All Star the year before Shrek did it. It had the mother fucking Mighty Mighty Bosstones. you can't compete with that. don't even try

Digimon Adventure 02 Best Partner Series - Part 2
Lol why are the girls' butts so emphasized in this artwork. Seems sketchy, but okay (Tailmon's even pointing to Hikari's butt, as a YouTube commenter pointed out).
Questionable art aside, I definitely thought these 6 CDs were a little weaker than the ones in my first post, but I'm biased. I don't have a very strong connection with a lot of the 02 characters, so it makes sense that their songs wouldn't hit as hard for me. On the other hand, I really like Ken and Wormmon so their album slapped. Anyways, full thoughts below.
Daisuke & Veemon
Google Boy - Daisuke (Listen here - subbed)
Daisuke singing about being a hot blooded shounen boy and how his goggles are a mark of his coolness and Taichi's legacy. A very Daisuke song lol.
Pretty funny how goggles just became a signature fashion statement for Digimon MCs. At least they kinda had a purpose in Tamers (although it wasn't explained very well).
Go Ahead! - Veemon (Listen here & Translation here)
Veemon's song is very in-sync with Daisuke. Just talking about having courage and rushing into battle without thought (because your squad will back you up and everything will work out! LEEEEROYYYY JENKINSSSSS)
2-Top - Daisuke & Veemon duet (Listen here & Translation here)
Okay, this was definitely the strongest song on this CD. It's catchy, the boys sound great together and the whole thing's a soccer metaphor which is very on brand. (I tried to google and see if "2-Top" is soccer terminology and came up with nothing tho -shrug-)
I like the little banter breaks in this and then in the song they talk about how their bickering just shows how energetic they are haha.
They mention being a digimon tamer in this song but did they even use that terminology in 02? I don't remember...
Miyako & Hawkmon
Crash with Bingo - Miyako (Listen here - subbed)
The lyrics of this song are pretty nonsensical, but I get what vibe they were going for. She's basically singing about being a hot mess but being proud to be herself. Also mentions that she's not just here to look cute.
I feel pretty neutral about Miyako, but I did appreciate that she could be kinda tactless and brash at times. Traditional Japanese femininity usually means being quiet, submissive and agreeable, which she definitely is not.
Although I've never liked the "bingo" catchphrase, it's fun in a song lol
Knight of Love - Hawkmon (Listen here - subbed)
Man, out of all the digimon partners, Hawkmon's gotta be the biggest nothing burger of them all. I couldn't tell you a single thing about the dude. I feel like the bird digimon are the most sidelined for some reason? (Maybe they're like "little boys don't care about birds, they like dinosaurs and bugs!")
Hawkmon sings about being a "knight of love," but I never got "knight" vibes from him really. I guess he kinda talks like a knight, but nothing in his design says knight...he's supposed to look like an Indigenous person, no? Maybe I'm being to literal hahaha
Fly High - Miyako & Hawkmon duet (Listen here - subbed)
Yeah, I don't really buy Miyako and Hawkmon's partner chemistry. They sounds more like coworkers lol. I did like the part where Miyako was asking to talk to all of Hawkmon's digivolutions in quick succession, that was fun.
Miyako's just spiraling the whole song and Hawkmon's trying to comfort her but she seems to be kinda brushing him off for most of it haha
Iori & Armadimon
My Conclusion - Iori (Listen here - subbed)
This song was...not good. Not the worst of the bunch, but it kinda just felt like it had no melody and Iori was talk-singing the whole time. His voice is cute and the lyrics fit his character nicely, but I was thrown off by how janky the song itself sounds.
The song is about Iori's convictions and what evil vs. justice means to him. You can sense that his philosophy is coming from his kendo practice.
I enjoyed the gratuitous English in the final line lol
Omyaa to Let's Go! - Armadimon (Listen here - subbed)
This one had a good energy and I liked the "Let's go!" chorus, but there was still a lot of talk-singing going on
I hate that the song starts by mentioning that damn Chuu x2 Jelly...it's like the show forgot to give Armadimon any memorable qualities so when they wrote this song they were like "he liked jelly...I guess?"
Armadimon losing steam and kinda flubbing the lyrics was the best part of the song lol
A Message to the Future - Iori & Armadimon duet (Listen here - subbed)
Phew, finally a good one. I was a bit worried I'd dislike this whole album. I really liked the melancholy yet optimistic vibe this one had. It kinda feels like any two characters could have sung this, but oh well. It was a nice duet regardless.
Armadimon telling Iori that "no matter what kind of adult you become, you'll always be Iori" was sweet :)
Takeru & Patamon
Focus - Takeru (Listen here - subbed)
Okay this one made me MAD because it was so ship-baity!! What the heckk??? This song is clearly implying that Takeru has romantic feelings for Hikari ("Am I the focus of your heart?"), but the show led me to believe that his feelings were platonic and almost brotherly. Did I watch the same show as the song writer? I don't mind them as a pairing, but I feel like this is contradicting my interpretation of the anime so I'm just confused.
Aside from my grumblings, I think this song was great for the drama of it all lol. I also liked the callbacks to Hikari and Takeru growing up together and Hikari blossoming into a powerful young hero.
The comment section of the YouTube video I've linked have people arguing whether the song is about Hikari or Patamon lol. Ain't no way this song is about Patamon. There's even a hikari pun in there.
Don't Stop Patapata - Patamon (Listen here - subbed)
Not sure if this is cute...or just annoying. Sounds like a song written and performed by a toddler, which is fitting cuz it's Patamon.
This song captures Patamon's one braincell energy (which was on display in the new 02 movie). He doesn't really sing about Takeru much which feels a bit like a wasted opportunity.
Steppin' Out - Takeru & Patamon duet (Listen here - subbed)
I liked the theme and lyrics of this one but the vocals were pretty rough...It sounded like Patamon's VA didn't match Takeru's VA's energy very well and together they sound kind of off key.
Takeru singing about taking off his ripped shirt kinda made me laugh because I pictured like a sexy romance novel cover dude. So not Takeru's image.
Seriously Patamon just kinda sounds disinterested in this song
Hikari & Tailmon
Gentle Rain - Hikari (Listen here - subbed)
Kind of a boring, slow song, but I liked the overall theme. Hikari's showing her vulnerable side and talking about how she can't be strong/brave at all times.
I'm not sure I really understand the rain metaphor here...I think maybe when she's saying it's not an "intense rain" she's saying it will take a long time for her weakness to wash away, but that's okay? IDK, kinda clunky.
Getting up - Tailmon (Listen here & Translation here)
Pretty similar to Hikari's song, but more melancholy. I found this one kind of relatable because I can get existential pretty often. The lines "What can I do? I still don't know. Because I was born my journey continues" hit me.
Tailmon sings about, basically, how life as a digimon is tough and confusing, with all of the nonstop battling. Still, she wants to stay strong for those she needs to protect. (Tailmon kinda has similar vibes to Renamon...or maybe it's just that they both have deep voices.)
Shining Star - Hikari and Tailmon (Listen here - subbed)
This one felt kinda half-assed lol. I think I might just be getting burnt out with all these songs that effectively have the same message.
So yeah, just like a lot of other songs in previous albums, this was a generic song about Hikari and Tailmon being different but loving each other anyway and striving to be their best for each other. I guess it's nice to hear a more optimistic song at the end of the album since the first two were pretty downbeat.
Ken & Wormmon
ONLY ONE - Ken (Listen here - subbed)
Aw man, I'm disappointed that Ken's solo song is from the POV of his Kaiser days :/ oh well. It's still a fun song. I like his evil laugh at the end.
I think this song does a good job of illustrating Ken's internal struggle between good and evil, but always turning to the darkness in the end. I also enjoyed the rock n' roll vocals.
The Future You Dreamed of, The Future I Dreamed of - Wormmon (Listen here - subbed)
Lol Wormmon's such a simp for Ken, but I love him so much 😭❤️ This song was great!! The jazzy instrumentals, the back up vocals and the passion/love in Wormmon's voice were all on point.
This song is all about Wormmon not giving up on Ken and understanding he has good in him that he wants to protect. So pure and sweet <3
True Strength - Ken & Wormmon (Listen here - subtitled)
Omg I loved this one 😭😭😭 so precious! Sure, it may have the exact same theme as a bunch of other songs ("we're so different, but we love each other!") but it definitely has a greater impact considering Ken and Wormmon's baggage.
I loved the light and jazz vibe of this song, I was picturing Ken and Wormmon in tuxedos with tails doing a lil tap dance routine together.
"Your form reflected my heart" omg 😭😭😭
Ken had a whole mini arc in just this album lol

Three more fresh isolated BGM tracks!
The first one is an extended version of the first 25 seconds of "And So It Begins..." which I published a few days ago. Someone noted that the episode "Home Away from Home" had a much longer version, so I grabbed it and edited it!
The second is a cool track that played during at least one MetalSeadramon episode, but also a ton of other villain scenes.
The third isn't super well-known, but it's very pretty.
Reminder that you can subscribe to my YouTube Channel to listen to everything, and you can download the whole collection from this Google Drive.

I am finally back to doing Digimon pics!
The idea for this one was to make pictures based on the series main themes. The theme for this one was "butterfly".
I really liked the concept of Agumon with the butterfly, but I am not too happy with the result on this one. Still, I finished it so I would rather post it.

Be More Chill X Digimon Zone concept sketch. I did a couple of scenario write ups prior but now I whipped out a sketch while I was relaxing. Jeremy uses Claudia Cacace’s design as a basis while Micheal is more my own take.
When mysterious pill shaped devices called “SQUIPS” are discovered and used by the unwitting student body at Middleborough High in an attempt to better themselves, the nervous Jeremy Heere inadvertently discovers the world of Digimon in his quest to become popular and, well, be more chill. Somehow, several Digimon have been downloaded into the SQUIPS, and naturally some of them go wild influencing their human “hosts” to cause problems. Together with his best friend Micheal Mell, “exchange students” Daniel Ike and Izzy Izumi:, and their own Digimon, the boys uncover the mysteries behind the Digimon infused SQUIPS, all the while Jeremy being influenced by his own SQUIP, a charismatic Algomon that has its own motives, none of it good for humans or Digimon.

Digimon Survive
Tumblr media
Digimon Survive is a visual novel with tactical rpg part that breathes new life into the franchise, and may be a good way for newcomers to discover this universe and its bestiary. Personally, I only had distant childhood memories of the first animated adaptation I watched, but despite this I was able to immerse myself easily in this new story, which is much darker in tone. However, while the visual novel is pretty good, I wasn't totally convinced by the other aspects of the game.
❤ A mix between the naive, childlike side of the original series and a much darker, more violent tone that works quite well. ❤ The visual novel part is not based on static images, but on high-quality animated sprites, which liven up each dialogue scene. The scenery is equally well done. ❤ Rather endearing characters with good development (even the most unbearable ones become likeable). ❤ On the dubbing side, the actors do a very good job, and on the Japanese side, the original seiyuus are even used for the digimon voices - a nice touch! ❤ I liked the fact that the affinity between the characters was linked to the evolution of their digimons, which encouraged me to talk to each of them and get to know them so I could make the right dialogue choices. So it played on my attachment to the characters and also to my desire to unlock each evolution x)
+/- Significant replayability (3 "normal" endings, 1 bad ending and the true ending). These endings are attained through a system of auras (virtue/harmony/wrath) that are increased according to our dialogue choices....but they will always be placed in exactly the same place (for example, the answer to increase the harmony statute will always be in the bottom right-hand corner). This makes our work easier (==)" For my first game, I personally like to make choices based on my mentality, without knowing which dialogue will influence which stat, so I discover the ending I've set myself. Here, the fact of knowing indirectly influenced me, and I'd have preferred them to save that for the New game+. +/- The musical themes are pretty (especially the main theme), a little redundant because there aren't many of them, but they never bore. On the other hand, I found that some scenes had music that didn't quite fit in with the atmosphere and action going on, it was a bit weird. +/- The true ending provides real redemption for certain characters who were really annoying to begin with. On the other hand, I found it a lot of length with constant back and forth (probably to stretch the story, but it doesn't add anything) and the ending is nice, but nothing more. I found the "virtue" ending more impactful.
✖ The tactical combat system is laborious and almost boring. The tactical side is bland; we're presented with a strength/weakness system based on elemental abilities (water/air etc…) but in the end it doesn't really matter as brute force will win out almost all the time...also, the fights are SLOW!!!! you can speed them up via the menu (I set them to x2 because I couldn't take it anymore). ✖ The method for recruiting digimons is really not that great; you're given a sort of quiz with the digimon you want to get, and unless you know the universe really well, you just guess at the answers and hope it works, but sometimes the solutions are really lunar (or maybe it's the translation that doesn't sound right). ✖ The Skip function, which allows you to skip through the text you've already read if you want to complete the various endings, is far too slow, and you can't even skip through the evolution animations. This discouraged me from finishing all the endings in a row. ✖ The map during exploration phases is ugly and not very practical, I find, and the constant change of music as the map opens is annoying.
Digimon Survive is bound to be a divisive game, as the balance between visual novel and combat is clearly not equitable (70/30% in my opinion). Personally, this wasn't a problem for me, as I'm used to this genre, but it's true that the tactical combat phases are this title's major weakness. At least it gave me a pleasant nostalgic feeling at the side of these little digimons (🎶are the champions!🎶).
