The 13th Kenpachi 4,279 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) . The man who sung Digimon opening 1-Butterfly passed away due to cancer. He also sung Fire for digimon frontier. and the 'Biggest Dreamer' for Digimon tamers as well as the opening for Digimon 02. I believe it was cancer of the throat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xAueTwJFV4&nohtml5=False https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge6ky3w-eLM&nohtml5=False RIP. He even fought off cancer to sing butterfly for adventure tri. These songs were magical and shaped our childhood, they were so awesome-even if we couldn't really understand Japanese. You will be missed . Edited April 8, 2016 by Shinobi Palace 4 Movies798, DarylTrect, TheEightMelodies and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheEightMelodies 152 Posted April 8, 2016 Darn. I loved Kouji Wada. I'm not really a big fan of 02 and Frontiers JPN OPs but Butterfly and Biggest Dreamer are some of my favourite songs. Time to listen to Butterfly on repeat for the rest of the day. R.I.P 1 The 13th Kenpachi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleTSUBAME 483 Posted April 8, 2016 Yeah, I just heard about it. Didn't even know he was sick... and he just made new versions of his songs for tri... Thank you Kouji Wada, your music means a lot to me. R.I.P. 1 The 13th Kenpachi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drathermon Ling 18 Posted April 8, 2016 Thank you Kouji Wada for all the wonderful Digimon songs. I am just so sad that you passed away. Thank you for your work on Butterfly (tri ver.) even though your health condition is getting worse. Rest In Peace Kouji Wada. Your fans are happy that you make at least your last come back. May God bless your soul. 1 The 13th Kenpachi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nweintraub 630 Posted April 8, 2016 If only I knew how to put the link thing properly, I would use the video of the first spirit evolution scenes from the Digimon Frontier Movie: Island of Lost digimon for the sake of the background music, because it was also reused later for a death scene-Koichi's. The reason why I bring this up is because I want to use the score as a dirge, but can't, because I don't know how to use the link function properly. Sorry.

You will be missed . Guest Appearance in 02's Opening! Aww, that ain't cool. He was so awesome! I kinda liked the Japanese openings for Adventure and 02, especially 02. (Call me biased, but hey, it was good.) You'll be missed, Kouji Wada. "You may be gone, but your music and memories will live on inside our hearts." Rock on, everyone. 1 The 13th Kenpachi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
