| Aww, that sucks. Wait is that why they have shitty background music now? Ex. Naruto Shippuden The Movie: Kizuna && episode 116. |
    |
Dunno if this is related to him, but whatever. Soundtrack was one of Naruto's good points. R.I.P. |
| Always sad to hear one of them pass away... |
| Aww man. That Sucks. :( R.I.P. Kobari |
        |
| Augh... well I can't say much, but how uncool :( |
| Music producer isnt the same as the one who actually write and create music (with naruto it's toshiro masuda...really like his music). It's always sad that some1 passes away...since that he was still young :( |

Frenz said: I liked the original naruto music, did he do 'Raising fighting spirit' and the battle music? No. This is the music PRODUCER. Not the composer. He didn't make the music himself. The music producer is typically the person who would decide where to use what music for whatever scenes, not impacting the original mood of composition. Masuda Toshio, who did the first season (Naruto) and Takanashi Yasuharu, who is composing Shippuuden's scoring are still alive, and are responsible for the actual musical stylings. You can hear this in their other works, both have fairly distinct styles that the producer obviously has no impact on. So while the death is unfortunate, it's not going to effect the music itself in any significant way. |
| I saw NARUTO and Passes away next to each other and I was like THE MANGAKA?!!? But no... that would have been terrible... Still sad about the music producer... RIP :/ |

| The perfect song for the situation......Thank you to the Person who posted Sadness and Sorrow here. I'm sure he'd be happy if he could see that....... |
| If Yaoi was a religion, I'd be religious^^ |
| Rest in peace, lets just hope your music will continue to grow. |
| He was such a big contributor to what made Naruto a great anime. RIP |
| May he rest in peace. |
 |
| RIP |
