# Dragon Ball Z Kai: Kikuchi Revival
---
Kenji Yamamoto was the composer of the score for Dragon Ball Z: Kai. Following the discovery of his extensive plagiarism during his tenure on the franchise, he was fired. The last 3 episodes of Kai hadn't even aired in Japan yet, and Toei had to quickly scrap his music for subsequent episodes. Toei's solution was a massive hack-job of Kikuchi music, hastily reusing tracks they had. The result was fairly mixed in the fandom, some viewing it as inferior to the Yamamoto score, even if they enjoyed the Kikuchi score in Dragon Ball Z.
Because the dub for Kai is in 5.1 audio, people can remove the music and create rescores. On Kanzenshuu forums, a user by the name of "IHaveNoUserName" went on the noble quest of rescoring Dragon Ball Z: Kai with the Kikuchi score from Dragon Ball Z. His music placement is heavily inspired by the placement within Dragon Ball Z's Kikuchi score.
He planned to do the same for Kai: The Final Chapters, but cancelled the project. armyandstuff tried to continue for three episodes, and those are included here as well.
Unfortunately, IHaveNoUserName's DDL upload was taken down, so I'm gladly uploading it here as a torrent. Please seed for others to obtain!
**These audio files sync perfectly to the US-BDs of both Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters. Just add them using mkvtoolnixgui.**
