Songs like "Nightfall" and "Heroic Tragedy" parallel the beauty of "Sadness and Sorrow" whilst still sounding more tragic. But some of his songs, such as "One-Hundred Flowers Blooming in Profusion" and the innovative "Hidden Fighting Spirit" really help put some of the fights on a grander scale. Although it's true that Takanashi imitated Masuda's style for a few key action tracks, they connect the viewer to the older series more. The tracks themselves are brilliant I most definitely think that these songs fit the second half of Naruto more than Masuda's music ever could have. It wasn't even a half-assed effort-it's like he had two weeks to come up with 30 songs and pounded out the most effortless drivel he could have.Īs for Takanashi, his music is pretty much completely orchestrated. Not one song sticks out in my mind from any of the first three Naruto movies, mostly because they completely sucked.

My main problem with Masuda's music lies with the movie soundtracks. He did eventually go orchestral for a few integral tracks, but I'm really sure that in the show a lot of them are actually synthesized too. But most of his music came straight from the keyboard, and there was little variety. Sure, we had some classic Japanese instruments playing, the pan flute, taiko drums, and chanting. Perhaps it was a lack of funding, but Masuda's music relied way too much on a synthesizer. However, I've got some beef with his work too. He managed to get viewers pumped up at the right moments, and in terms of placement in the show he's definitely got Takanashi beat.įor part 1, I definitely think that the soundtrack worked better than any alternatives. Now I don't want to discredit the latter, as I'm also a fan of what he did for the series as well. I know I'm in the minority here, but personally I prefer Yasuharu Takanashi's soundtrack over Toshio Masuda's tracks.
