Songs: New and Original

This isn't much of a ranting about the songs, I just figured it would be nice to have a page with the song changes on it.

The new songs 4Kids made for the dub of Shaman King aren't too bad, but there is only instrumental music and no singing. All of the image songs are taken out completely. The new theme song is pretty good, it's kinda catchy in a way, but it's still no match for Oversoul. The lyrics are good except at the ending when it goes:  "Shaaaamaaaannnn Kiiiiinnng" (you get the idea). Song's like Silent Weapon, & Braveheart are no longer with us; may they rest in peace. Braveheart was used in some battle sequences and is replaced with "cartoon battle music" as I call it; not that it's horrible, but some of the cartoon music doesn't fit at all with most of the animation. Trust You is also taken out (duh), and doesn't have a replacement song that I know of; if it does then I haven't heard it because of the commercials for other shows & what is up next. I take back what I said earlier about there not being any singing. I had forgotten about this fact but in episode 50 when Nyorai comes in, she sings a song that apparently hypnotizes people and all the memories they try to suppress or forget are revealed and they go to Nyorai to try and have the visions go away and THEN she hypnotizes them and they think they are healed *phew...long sentence* From what I understand, Nyorai's dub song sounds like a song from Hack//Sign (sp?).

BoZ's song's JOH! Butsu and Chimi Chimi Moryo are also taken out and replaced with the 4Kids version of it, which is not very good.
