The Tenth Doctor

Oh, I thought this was going to be a new one, not this same version from 2019. Still though, yeah, it's had more remixes by SEGA/the original artist than pretty much any other Sonic track at this point. Ice Cap still holds the candle for most fan remixes though, cause like holy fuck. 

I don't particularly love this version tbh. But it's still DoaA so it can't be totally wrong. I think the original is one of the best vocal tracks in the series' long history. And even outside the realm of just vocal tracks it makes it into the top tier. Silver's Ultimate theme in TSR is all kinds of perfect. 

I wish BJ would work with SEGA again. All his own stuff is really good pop. Although IIRC, didn't he and SEGA fall-out over SEGA re-releasing DoaA or a remix thereof on an album without his permission? 

They did. The version on Best of Sonic the hedgehog volume 2: True Colours. (Starry Night version I believe) was not made with him. 

I wish he'd come back too, he's got a great passion for his works and really worked well with others. His 2011 version was my personal favourite, closely followed by Jun's.

He also confirmed to have a miserable time working with Richard Jacques, backing up that the latter was a really nasty person and SEGA basically said "sorry he's just like that" when he asked for support. After this and the fallout, it's a wonder the song wasn't ruined for Bentley, I'm glad he's still so proud of it.

Oh yeah. I forgot about the Richard Jacques incident. The dude's got some crazy skills, but honestly his best contributions to the series were R and 3D. And if he's as much of an absolute shite to work with as he appears to be, I kinda wish SEGA would say their goodbyes.

Nice. If I could afford it, I'd definitely try to find my own right now. That and Black Knight's vocal albums are the main ones I want to fill in at some point.

You ended up using CDJapan's Proxy service I assume?

Yup, it did cost about £70, which is more than I would normally pay but I'd been hunting for it for too long.

David Humphrey is still the best Shadow if you ask me.

Honestly, if we're casting Canadian actors... Drummond would actually be a good fit if you ignore his Vegeta specifically. I'm picturing a tone closer to how he voiced Zechs in Gundam Wing more than anything.

But after how Sega wasted Kirk Thornton (who was my number one choice for Shadow before the last recast) I could see them turning that sort of casting into a disaster.

Most of them have gone.  They've recasted almost everyone since boom.

Barring today's news, the only voice actors that never got replaced since 2010 were: Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Vector, Eggman, and Charmy. 

I'm only asking if Mike is staying again. He stayed after the 4Kids era, now after the modern stuff. He's voiced him for 18 years or so, would be nice to keep him.

@Kuzu Knuckles as well, last I checked.

I might be jumping the gun here but I don't think they'll replace Mike. The guy is Eggman now.

You know, unless Sega is pulling a stupidly hard Sega right now...

Knuckles was replaced in TSR with Micheal B Jordan. 

It'd be nice to get a Knuckles VO that wasn't imitating Dan Green's voice.

@Kuzu Wha?

IIRC Star is intended to be an adult division for Disney+, where all of Disney’s (re: Touchstone/Hollywood/Miramax) & Fox’s catalog of mature movies are supposed to be available for streaming for their international regions. I believe here in the US, most of those films go to Hulu instead, which isn’t available in some of those regions.

As long as it’s clearly marked to be distinct from the broader family catalog and there’s clear parental guidance locks/restrictions in place to lock children out from watching those films, I don’t really have much of a problem with it.

I know it'll be safe, its just such a weird idea to fathom. Would you have thought Disney would have Borat, Family Guy and so much other very adult stuff?

Watching all the TikTok duets and ensemble shanties is wonderful though, there are so many talented people out there collaborating.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR

What's a Sonic? I don't think anyone here is here for a Sonic!

What’s a Sonic? Is that some kind of Pokemon?

HA, Boris ain't gonna like that.

AKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUU

One of the sites that export anime soundtracks out of Japan may be another place to look.

ShTH's main soundtrack seemed to have a stupidly small print run or something because I've never been able to find listings for it.

I did find at least one listing using CDJapan's Proxy Shipping service (used the Yahoo Shopping Service search) though it's used and kind of expensive before even factoring in shipping. You might poke around with that and see if you have any better luck or similar proxy shopping sites like Zenmarket (never used but it's something I've heard about and at least looked at a couple times).

How does proxy shopping work?

They'll basically track down the item for you from other venues so you can buy it directly from them instead. I know CDJapan is pretty reliable so it might be worth going through them for it. 

Put in a request, hearing back in a few days. Thank you!

I’m only through one episode, but my guess is that Wanda’s essentially gone mad with grief and enslaved a town to play out her fantasies unintentionally.

The people inside are essentially brainwashed, except for the few who are in-character enough to question it (the boss in episode 1) and when they do question things, something bad befalls them to shut them up (Wanda and Vision don’t do anything for several seconds). Notice how Vision was unable to save him until Wanda specifically granted permission via an order.

I keep trying to tell the Bushiroad president that he should put Sonic music in D4DJ since they already have game music in it already!

I want to hear HapiAra's cover of "You can do anything!"

I'm also pretty in the dark but I did catch this clip floating around.

That's Spidey's voice actor.

Yup, recognise him as Spidey and Young Revolver Ocelot.
