(((I Will Outlive)))

Listening to Joshua Seth swooning over voicing Tai once more just made me realize once again: Taichi Yagami is a very special character, who has a great impact on the people who play him.

Joshua Seth (English dub, OG), who calls this role his "life's work".

Natsuki Hanae (Japanese dub, Tri/Kizuna), who was so anxious about getting the role right, doing it justice.

Gaku Matsumoto (Japanese stageplay), who went on about how much Digimon means to people.

Toshiko Fujita (Japanese dub, Adventure+02), who still kept on voicing him until the end, even if her voice got weaker.

Florian Knorn (German dub, OG), who flew back from Austria and came back from retirement to voice him.

Zeno Robinson (English dub, reboot), who audibly put his entire heart into this role...

This boy is special.

Since it’s day 3 of Digiweek and thus all about music, I felt once again reminded of the fact that I absolutely LOVE the German Digimon soundtrack.

Back in the day, they not only translated several original songs into German - they also created their very own original songs for anime shows in the late 90s and early 2000s.

You’ll have the German versions of many songs: 

… But I can definitely recommend listening to the the original songs too - also, interestingly enough, some of them actually have quite a romantic undertone. Some of them can even be found on Spotify as well, which is pretty amazing.
