The “Flotage (Stage 3-B)” version is very similar as well, but replaces the synth/electric guitar solo in the A version with a more frenetic solo. As it progresses, a pretty interesting synth/electric guitar solo section is added, making it very reminiscent with some of the stage themes for the original soundtrack.
It has a fantastic beat and when combined with some great synth melodies and effects, and you have a winner. “Flotage (Stage 3-A)” is much more melodic in nature than many of the stage themes present on the soundtrack. The newcomer to the DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu composition scene is Noriyuki Kamikura and he is also responsible for a few themes. I hope to see more electronic based compositions and projects in the future for her. These themes are definitely new ground for Chiba and I think she is definitely growing as an electronic based composer. From here, it proceeds to the same melodic section as the A version of the stage theme. “Xanadu (Stage 2-B),” for the most part, is mostly the same, but after the funky electronic section that opens the theme, it transforms into a more industrial theme where the beat drops out at times and the overall atmosphere is a bit more ominous than the original. The section before the loop features some pretty heavy drum usage that loops perfectly into the funky electronica section. The melodic section of the theme compliments the beat well and features some slightly distorted futuristic synths and the theme, overall, quite strong. “Xanadu (Stage 2-A)” opens a mixture of funky and ominous soundscapes over top a pretty awesome beat, given it a bit of an industrial flair. The progression of most of these themes features extended openings followed by some short melodic sections. It’s a beautiful futuristic synth led melody, but it still manages to pump the listener up.Īzusa Chiba, responsible for “Dividing Road of Fate” and “Who Decided About ‘Dying Peacefully’? in the original, returns only for “Xanadu (Stage 2-A)” and its respective B version. It features a nice beat that isn’t as intrusive as some of the other ones, but the melody is where it is really at. “Vertigo (Stage 5),” on the other hand, despite opening up with some distorted guitar work, is probably the one theme on the soundtrack that really captures the feel of the original soundtrack. The melodic section of the theme combines some nice drum beats and spacey synth for a style a bit reminiscent of the original soundtrack, but at the same time, showcasing the overall direction for this soundtrack.

The track opens up with some more ethereal synth before moving into an intricately layered section full of sharp synths, industrial beats, and other types of synth effects. Interesting enough, the sole vocal sample thrown into this song, “in heaven with you,” could pretty much describe my entire feelings for this soundtrack.
“Vertex (Stage 1)” easily dwarfs “Tokyo 2008 A.D.” from the original. He does contribute two stage themes as well. It’s a pretty nice way to close the soundtrack. It’s pretty damn catchy! “Factoid (Name Entry)” meanwhile is a more melancholy theme with a bit of a jazz nature and some pretty nice beats as well. “Superb (Stage Clear)” features some nice beats and accompaniment but also throws in some vocal work as well. It’s one of Namiki’s best character select themes, rivaled only by “Invitation from Another World” from DeathSmiles. The melody is quite strong and the beats are fantastic. “Sally (Select)” is similar to something you might hear in the original.
Of course, the majority of the soundtrack is composed by Manabu Namiki, though he takes a less prominent role for this version. It is kickass music and you’ll just have to read on to find why! Body It’s an extremely experimental soundtrack compared to the original White Label version, but also one that fans would find more fitting for the DoDonPachi series. Perhaps CAVE was addressing fan complaints or perhaps they wanted to do something different, but the result is spectacular. Unlike most Black Label versions of CAVE games, which usually just feature an additional piece of music, for a secret boss or new stage, the DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label Original Soundtrack features entirely new music, composed by Manabu Namiki, Yoshimi Kudo, Noriyuki Kamikura, and Azusa Chiba. Fast forward a year and the release of the Black Label version of the game.

Diehard gaming fans of the series claimed the music, composed by Manabu Namiki, Yoshimi Kudo, and Azusa Chiba, for the most part, was unfitting for the DoDonPachi series, while fans who listen to the music on a standalone basis, such as myself, thought it was a well composed soundtrack. In early 2009, the soundtrack for DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu was released, unfortunately, to mixed reviews. DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label Original Soundtrack
