More details were finally revealed just a week before its supposed release, including its cover art and formal title: Raging Blast 2 Original Soundtrack Overseas Version. The disc was listed as due out 23 March 2011 in Japan for ¥3,000, a rather quick turn-around time compared to most other announcements and releases. That was the case, anyway, until January 2011 when a listing popped up for a proper Raging Blast 2 soundtrack on the Lantis record label. No soundtracks for any of these games were ever released beyond CD singles for the new vocal opening themes (with the exception of the “Collector’s Edition” of the first Blast game in Europe coming packed with a music CD). For the international versions, newly-composed soundtracks were inserted to replace this music this mirrored the trend with the three Sparking! games during the previous video game generation, where Kikuchi’s music was replaced in the same way (the first Budokai Tenkaichi recycled music from the prior Budokai series, while the second and third games received completely new music). The three “Blast” games ( Raging Blast, Raging Blast 2, and Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi) all received newly-synthesized versions of Shunsuke Kikuchi’s musical score from the TV series and movies in their Japanese releases. What makes this listing so curious - beyond just its price - is the fact that this CD was never officially released.
The listing was for $999.00 and based out of San Francisco, California from seller “h2oness”. Before heading off to Animazement this past weekend, we caught a very strange listing on eBay: a copy of the unreleased/canceled Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 Original Soundtrack Overseas Version CD.
