PLAGIARISM EXTRAVAGANZA - A Kenji Yamamoto Tribute

For some reason, if forgot to update the nexus entry for this mod,

Apologies for that, if you care, the reading contents of this post is the same as the one on Gamebanana but with the added info that i added improvements to the naming schemes for the Json music manager in the BGMs. Added sampling numbering order, album names and sources for the musics ranging from Spotify, Apple Music, personal CDs and even Vinyls for some. Not all since its messy to add the gazillion songs that are featured in here and resampled each of them (damn you Yamamoto).

But it will be much more organized now, and no more missing punctuations. 

Lets get back to the topic at hand and read the haikus already

"Copy or borrow

Dilemma, i choose to steal

Oh shameful display"

A special heartfelt thanks goes to Yellow Magic Orchestra, and especially Hideki Matsutake and the other 3 original members. That without their collaboration with Dragon Ball composing work (with Kenji too), we might never have the lead to find many more other samples and sources and also giving most of the OST a distinct Dragon Ball sounds.

Rest in peace Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi (1952-2023)

I've been getting so many messages that YMO isn't actually a case of plagiarism but let me just tell you all that their musical influence basically made Dragon Ball music the way it was (theres one by Kenji on Butoden tracks that are heavily inspired by Rydeen). So i will still put them here as a sign of respect, but separately as an officially sanctioned cover. Along with Tower of Power cover (some Toto members took part in Budokai 2 OST production, but its still debatable since Kenji actually c
