zomg yes
omg not again
i want ogerz back dont care about anything else at the moment…..
you must be a scrub that’s why you like the ogres who broken characters.
that’s nice
Ogre’s Stage and Music has always been my favorite of all the stages for some odd reason.
I Love that theme. Best in Tekken Series!
Oh my god!!
Best music ever in the history of videogames!!
You have awesome taste sir.
I don’t think there was a song I didn’t like on that game.. My favorite was the school stage’s song.
Hell yeah, TTT has some great tracks. But we all know Tekken 3 had the best sound track. Did this guy work on 3 too? And Ogre’s theme is hands down my favorite in TTT. VenoM362 goes to sleep to that music man.
VenoM362 likes techno music, you know who else likes techno music?
THE TECHNO VIKING!!!
YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!
Awesome!
I hope for the PS3 version they enable custom soundtrack. I would love to listen to TTT orge theme and T3 law theme while fighting :)
not gonna happen cuz your opponent might not want to listen to the themes you like to listen. you should just listen to themes you like on your ipod while playing TT2. and cuz some people prefer listening to the original stage theme.
They have custom soundtrack on T6…..
FUNKY FRESH
I was a big fan of the arcade soundtrack for TTT 2!
Can’t wait!
….wait, WHAT?
uhhh what ?? wait…now that you mention it, the music was diffrent on arcades, now i gotta find it.
That’s good news! I liked Tekken Tag’s intro and embu theme. Ogre’s, Xiaoyu’s and Yoshimitsu’s theme also!
Awesome! I love the TT soundtrack. Is that Unknown in that picture up there, btw?
I miss the old T2 music options – being able to mix it up between BGM & Arcade versions. But this is still very welcome news.
T2 had the best themes. TTT and T3 bgm were still very good though, Im looking forward to this.
TTT and Tekken 3 had the best music in the tekken series!!!! Im so amped Xp and its great to hear the music again after all these years brings back so many memories of long-hours and quarters being lost in the arcades.
One Favorite tekken song
THIS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE BEST TEKKEN MUSIC EVER KINGS THEME TEKKEN 3>TEMPLE GROUNDS>JINS THEME TEKKEN 3>LAWS ARRANGE THEME TEKKEN 3>NOH THEATER>LIGHTNING STORM>MYSTICAL FOREST
FUCK YEAH!! This will be the Fighting Game of the Year!!
TECHNO FTW, CANT WAIT HORRAY FOR TECHNO BLIND GHOST YOU ARE RIGHT ON SPOT, I JUST FREAKING LOVE THAT OGRE STAGE MUSIC, TTT2 IS GOING TO BE EVEN GREATER THAN TTT1
Nice!! Akitaka kicks arse! The best tracks in T6 were done by him. Electric Fountain, and the Main menu song on Tekken 6 PSP, are some examples.
TECHNO TILL I DIE

hopefully customization is enabled for 1p as well as 2p in versus mode of console
Tekken’s soundtracks have always been amazing so im never worried about that.. And if im not mistaken this guy worked on some of Tekken 6s music as well.
Great…well expect some remixed tracks then.
At least it’s being done by the Namco sound team.
Never really was a big fan of the TTT1’s soundtrack.
me too. i thought TT1’s soundtrack is dull. i prefer T5dr and T6’s. such as moonlit wilderness, snow castle, urban warzone, anger of the earth, etc they sound lively and epic.
hello michael murray sir^^ if you are reading please sir would you bring the actual songs for characters like tekken 3 back for each character, in tekkens now you just have music repating all the time please michael sir bring back tekken 3 techno and funk with actual songs like tekken 3 please sir ive been wanting this for a long time thank you very much sir^^
damn it! i hate listening to techno music in fighting games! tekken was going the right path with their epic guitar+violin battle themes like lightning storm, anger of the earth, disaster tunnel, moonlit wilderness, snow castle… but now it’s gonna take a step back to damn techno dance music! ugh! i think i’m gonna be sick! :(
uhh no they wernt man, the soundtrack from T5 and down are crap in my op, couple of songs here and there TEKKEN 6 has to be the worst one , they keep bringing back these girls that do background songs fromt T5 tekken 2-4 had awsome tracks im glad thier going back to their roots man. TECHNO FOR LIFE !!!
sorry, i was never a fan of techno, that’s why TTT1’s soundtrack is my least favorite. it makes me feel like i’m in a dance club with 90’s vibe. you’re an idiot with bad taste if you think techno music is compatible with fighting games and prefer it over epic guitar+violin battle music like lightning storm, anger of the earth, snow castle, etc. FUCK TECHNO IN FIGHTING GAMES!
MarkMan say to Harada to add Unknown, she is a classic, you can’t make a Tekken Tag game without her!!!!!!!!!
Out of the entire Tag soundtrack, my faves were the island/Eddy stage and the school stage. The school soundtrack was dope, and Eddy’s stage song was straight funky. Looking forward to new sounds, Bring the epicness.
sorry jack87 you must b a little kid in this bull new fag gay generation you never lived in 1997 98 time when tekken ruled the world with its music i remeber going high school at the time girls all over loved the sound tracks they loved tekken they loved the tekken boys the music in earlier tekkens made tekken more recognisable you jack87 jus go and listen to your fag ass blak shit face lil wayne muthafuka
i’m 23 years old and been playing tekken since tekken 2. you must be 30+ years old suffering old man syndrome who can’t overcome the 90’s techno dance music. i bet 30 years from now you’ll still want more of TT1’s 90’s techno because it makes you feel nostalgic of your high school days! techno is outdated! you need to fucking move on bitch! it’s 2010 for christ sake! epic guitar+violin battle music FTW!
To call techno outdated is like calling rock or rap outdated. Things evolve, and today’s techno is a far cry from the stuff in the 90’s.
I’ll point the obvious too. He’s the director, and there are other composers there. Tekken never strayed from techno or synthesized music since the original up to now.
Look around. Not many fans share your love for more RPG-esque tracks. They’re not bad, but don’t quite fit the game.
SG79,
lol you think techno fit tekken? that’s funny cause i’ve seen break dancers dancing to TTT1’s soundtrack and they don’t even play tekken. namco might as well hire 009 Sound System to do TTT2’s music to attract more dancers, right? get your ears checked you dancing faggot!
It fit T1-T6 stages (some T5 and T6 exceptions). You haven’t a clue what techno and synthesized music is all about if you’re associating it with bad club music. TTT1’s Law for example, is a synthesized homage to the theme of Enter the Dragon. Every single Tekken composer, including the tracks you liked in T6 is actually a techno and trance artist. They just have good range. Look them up.
Leave the closet case defense mechanism where it belongs, in the 50’s. Calling people fags left and right isn’t making you look better or sound smarter.
But I’m sure you’ll keep spewing bullshit so carry on.
Aw Man! Why couldn’t the music director be Dr. Dre?
Aw Man! Why couldn’t the music director be Dr. Dre?
will this game have a storyline? if so, then BRING JUN BACK!!!!
Did the last TTT?…
I’m just saying…
jack87 what motherfukin pure beats do you get nowadays motherfuker m8 bak in the day shit was on the real with the beats with pure funk not that shit bullshit fag ass gay violin muzik you wank ovar mothafuka mate you need grow you sexy ho coz your mumz a 4 assed slag

you love gay techno so much i bet you love going to gay night clubs every night rave dancing to that gay beats all night long with your gay fuck buddies because it brings back your gay high school memories huh? you nostalgic faggot! leave that techno shit out of tekken it had its time in the 90’s! stop dwelling in the past and move on BITCH!
if you like techno music over epic battle to the death music like lightning storm, anger of the earth, etc then your fucking gay! as well as your dad!
DAMN ! CCCCCCCCCOMBO BREAKER !!!! LOL
Markman you either talk to the EXECS about making a new Stick for TT2 or im just gonna make a youtube video of me jumping off the Empire state building and hanging myself with a random MADCATZ controller.
And im in TEXAS SON !!!!
But for real, We’d appreciate it if you did try to get the rights to make a stick for TT2, i mean its freaking TT2 dude , we only get one TAG game every three TEKKENS !!!!!
C’mon markman Opportunity is knocking at the door, and it got a Smith & Weson pointed at the Peep hole.
NO MORE TECHNO PLEASE! i like the new tekken music because it’s different and it suits with the stages.
jackbitch7 i will fuk ur mum to force you pussy bitch ass to listen to some hardcore shit niggaz nowadayz are fakesterz like ur smelly fat american ass and ur mums big slip n slide hairy mature pussy cmon you slag lets fight fukin puddy tere maa tere lulla fukin suk on a 1994 big blak nostalgic dik haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
tekken88/ yup yup / jack 87 due seriously you pick up fight with yourself with different user names so and purposely miss spell , what a worthless low life you are, nobody was arguing in here untill you attention whore shit head who has nothing better to do start all these bs, ever time there is article you kjust have say something bs or start this shit, can you just die
Wow! AMAZING!
Now I finally can play with sound again. The BR-music is just horrible. There are only a few nice songs, like Mystical Forest. In T3/TTT almost every song was good as hell.
Thank you Personalit, i agree with you completly, in tekken 5 and 6 theres only a couple of tracks that stand out, while i nthe older tekken i enjoyed every track. im glad Akitaka Tohyama is coming back, so far they are going in the right direction with TT2 sound .
heres hoping everything else goes smoothly as well, perhaps….its…exclusive to PS3 that way they can fit extra content on BLU-RAY.
360 is an FPS console anyway, everyone knows that by now, so why not just make PS3 the fighting console.
am i right guys ???
you guys are ridiculous! i can’t believe you people like listening to techno while playing tekken. that’s like listening to love songs while playing a shooting game. i bet you guys don’t really like playing tekken, you just play tekken to listen to its fucking trance music! you guys should just buy TTT1’s soundtrack and quit tekken because tekken is not for you! and i bet you guys are fucking dancers, dancing and shit while playing tekken and aren’t really tekken players! if you guys wanna listen to trance go to a night club! leave that shit out of tekken!
Put 009 Sound System Dreamscape. lol jk XD
The only good music in TTT1 was Ogre’s theme particularly the PS2 remix, most of the rest was absolutely AWFUL. Some of it was so bad it used to make my ears hurt.
What happened to the guys that did Tekken 1 and 2’s tracks? They were the best by far, it went downhill after that.
I’ve always found the TTT songs the catchiest, as well as Tekken 2 songs :D
Toyama does great work (Lei TTT music anyone?). Hopefully they’ll have Sanodg, BKO and Yu Miyake on board too.
Sanodg wrote most of T3’s tracks (PS and arcade) and TTT1 too.
jack87 regardless what you think, or what you want, its already happend and hes hired for the job, and that what were going to get, if you want …” can’t beleive im saying this ” LOL violin music during your fights then just keep playing T6, as for the rest of us Old school fans that remeber the days of badass Tekken music , well we cant wait For TTT2’s Soundtrack.
crying wont help you cause its a done deal.
Dorya !!….Bitch.
blind ghost,
dorya?? lol stfu bitch! stop pretending you’re a kaz player you scrubby ass raven player! you might ass well quit tekken and just dance to TT2’s techno dance music cus you’re better at that! lol
you mofucka ols schools bak in the house i will rape the shit out of you theres jack you can do you cunt go and jack off to a viloin you your mums a slag dont diss my boy ghost
Maybe if Tohyama can throw down a demo track for Tag2 it could give a hint…? I honesly don’t see the point in all this commotion, if y’all liked some of the tracks in Tag1 which most of you clearly do, then Tohyama will sure as hell blow this game out the water.
If you happen to be a fan of trance… Check out http://www.music-trance.com …Uplifting and quite original as well :)
