Minor bit of news for anyone interested in
Dokidoki Precure:
Unless I'm reading something incorrectly, it's now confirmed that Takanashi Yasuharu will not be composing for Dokidoki. The new composer appears to be
Takaki Hiroshi, who does not have a particularly large resume of anime compositions but he may be best known to people here as the composer of the
fucking badass Tytania OP.
It's difficult to find samples of his work on youtube, but I managed to find these:
a track from the DBZ: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans OVA
Fan Hyulik's theme from Tytania
Some assorted tracks from
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu -
1 2 3 4
I've watched a few clips from
Kaidan Restaurant to see if he puts the same effort into kids' stuff that he's apparently capable of in other things that he's worked on, and, well, it's a mixed bag. Heavy on synth, some of the stuff is kind of simplistic. Still miles better than Takanashi's barf, though, so I'm going to be optimistic for now. If nothing else, we'll probably get the best transformation theme in several seasons!
