[edit] Trivia

Totakeke is said to be an animal version caricature of Totaka.

Kazumi Totaka. K.K. Slider\Totakeke. The ressemblance is uncanny! --Thaddius 18:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Luigi's Mansion confirmation?

Can you cite somewhere stating the song has been found in Luigi's Mansion? -th1rt3en 05:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found it here, commented in part two of the video:

Pyro873 (2 days ago)
"Hey guys, it's me Nick (same Nick who found the song in VB Wario Land). I just found the song in Luigi's Mansion. When you start the game, E. Gadd gives you 4 options (Mansion, Hidden Mansion, Training Room, and Gallery). Select the Training Room option; the next screen should be a Controller Setting screen, which shows a blue ghost behind a GCN controller. Stay on this screen for 3 min. and 25 sec. and Totaka's song will play. I already let Philbond and Mark (Nin. DB) know, so there ya go!"

I double checked this and it's real. -th1rt3en 05:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, here's a video of it. --Wzrds3 23:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Animal Crossing: Wild World

I found out that you did not have to request the sone in Wild World. I was asking K.K. to randomly play a song and he said he was going to play K.K. Song. Frankyboy5 00:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The list of appearances by the song

Someone edited them out saying that it has no place, as "Wikipedia is not a strategy guide". I agree but I feel the additions of where to find the songs are pertinent enough to the article to stay--however, I feel the appearances section should be changed to make it shorter and more "encyclopediotic", for lack of a better term, while still getting across all the key points of finding the tune. Anyone up for it? I certainly can't think of anything as some (Like Link's Awakening) seem to be as short as they possibly could be but yet, it feels as if they should be shorter. Evan1109 17:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I feel they should stay also. I guess cause I'm the one who added the recent ones. Describing where to access the song which is a part of this section should be here tho. I mean, it's like a confirmation of sorts that it exists.--Iamstillhiro1112 18:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up Removal

I'm gonna take down the "clean-up required" sign, because I think that recent additions to the article have generally improved it enough. The article is still quite short though, so I'm leaving it as a stub. We just don't know enough about him for a biography section yet.--Ninty 14:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Idea about Tokatas song section.

I think it might be better that we include a list of games Tokatas song has been found in, and not bother with descriptions. We can list the description on the game page itself. --Iamstillhiro1112 20:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

You mean just a simple list of links? I don't think that would make the article better, just shorter. I wouldn't want to go to seperate pages to get info on the song, when it could easily be available in one place, you know? I think the list of links in the initial song description paragraph are not needed, maybe you can improve that bit.--Ninty 10:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, the article really is supposed to be about the guy, not the song he created, right now that takes up the majority of the article. The game strategies for accessing the song would better fit the game articles. It's only a matter of time before someone else says that this page isn't supposed to be a game strategy section. Plus, it's redundant to have the strategy to access the song on the game page as well as this page.--Iamstillhiro1112 11:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, you're probably right. It's just that I'm researching info for a "biography" parapraph at the moment and turning up nothing, and without that or the song stuff this page is gonna be a tiny stub.--Ninty 13:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Seeing as he is a japanese composer I suppose it could be hard to find that info. I made sure info on accessing Totakas song was listed on each games page. And now I deleted the info on how to access it.--Iamstillhiro1112 14:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I did manage to find out that he's done some voice work for Pikmin 2, but I don't know whether it was a character or just some animal noises. I don't think I can work that into the article anywhere...--Ninty 11:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thus far the only page that I've had problems with is the animal crossing pages. I was able to rework Totakas song into the tom nook character section of the GC version, I don't know if it will stay. And I don't think I can get it into the N64 page at all. They are using that to serve as a Animal crossing series page.--Iamstillhiro1112 10:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song found in Wii Sports

[edit] Appearances of Totaka's song, but not a list of all games he worked on?

Seriously. What's up with that? --62.51.153.52 10:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree; I think a full list of Totaka's works should be included. In addition to the games already listed, he has also composed for Wave Race 64, the Paint, Talent and Polygon studio software for the 64DD, Wii Sports and I think at least some (if not all) of the Wii menu music (I'm fairly certain he did Shopping Channel, but otherwise I am not sure.) --Goniochromism 16:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is the song in the games he's voiced?

Do you think the song is in the games where he has voiced Yoshi? →Pezzar 00:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
