Taku Inoue offers a very diverse array of tunes. It doesn’t’ stand out like some of the other tunes on the soundtrack, but it is pleasant to listen to.

“Gallery Parallax” is a chill tune that focuses on more of an atmospheric sound with a lounge vibe in the accompanying beat. However, it still manages to engage the listener with its beat and ambient synthesizer in the melody. “Reflexion” has a sound similar to sanodg’s training stage music from the arcade soundtrack. Of particular note is the soft section that focuses on lighter beats and places a heavier focus on a flamenco guitar melody. The mix of heavy beats, bass modulation, and flamenco guitar really creates a fantastic fighting environment in the heart of Spain. “Baile de Batalla” is definitely the strongest sanodg tune on the soundtrack. Nobuyoshi Sano contributes two new stage themes and a menu theme. It is definitely one of Tohyama’s stronger psytrance tunes in the Tekken series. His new stage theme contribution, “Plucking Tulips,” is a fantastic psytrance tune with a ton of energy and featuring a great melody. It has some really interesting melodic sections, when they appear, that give it a bit more vibrancy, but the beat dominates the majority of the tune and after a while, it can get a bit monotonous. Similarly, “Waiting for the vagabond” is another weaker tune on the soundtrack. It has a nice beat and there are portions that do focus on melody, but I find it to be a bit lackluster compared to some of his other contributions for the game. “Dawn of the Beat” is one of the weaker tunes from Tohyama on the soundtrack.

It doesn’t differ too much in terms of melody, but the accompanying beats have been altered a bit. “Tekken Tag Tournament Piano Intro -Massive True Mix-” is a different version of the music found on the original arcade soundtrack. How does it compare to the original arcade soundtrack?Īkitaka Tohyama provides a variety of tunes. It features the returning composers from the arcade version of the soundtrack as well as members of Supersweep and NBSI sound team to help craft additional stage, menu, and mini-game music. The Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Original Soundtrack Plus features all of the new music that was added to the console version of the popular fighting game.
