Awesome Music / Digimon Adventure

• "Butter-Fly", the very first opening, is an optimistic tune that naturally appeals to every fan's nostalgia. Its memorial remix features all the cast singing along, while the "Strong Version" is probably one of the most epic things you will ever hear in your life!
• The English opening theme for Digimon Adventure is also a rather awesome song. Whereas "Butterfly" gave the show an adventurous feel, the English theme gave an epic feel to the show.
  The singer(s): Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the CHAMPIONS!
  • There was also an orchestral version (containing musical phrases of "Heroic Theme") that was played in the first English Digimon movie (during Omnimon's birth) and season 2 that took the dub theme into 5000 levels of epic win!
  • Similarly, the first few English-dubbed episodes of Digimon Adventure (approximately, Episodes 1 to 13, according to this source) have a unique orchestral arrangement of the "Digimon Theme", initially used during Digivolution sequences and sparingly used during battle/fight sequences.
• Be partial to Brave Heart. You will not regret it. It accompanies the Transformation Sequence in the Japanese version. Not so much because of the song itself, but because you will hear it so often that it will end up burned into your brain; it actually plays more often than the opening.
  • The instrumental version only played in episode 7 even tops it off.
  • Kouji Wada did us a wonderful favor by singing a version of it back in 2010.
  • As proof of how beloved they remain in the Digimon community, Toei announced that "Butterfly" and "Brave Heart" would return to Digimon Adventure tri., with new versions sung by their original vocalists. Truly an iconic pair of songs.
  • The song returns in the final chapter of the original digidestined in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna.
• The dub had plenty of it, too. Digimon Adventure's "Hey Digimon" was code for a Moment of Awesome approaching, and when they played the song out to a bit closer to its full length in the finale, it turned out pretty awesome, too.
• The eighth child Kari's theme, "Holy Light".
• The two ending themes in their full version qualify:
  • I wish, the first theme, sung by Mimi's voice actor, Ai Maeda.
  • Keep on, the second theme, as sung by AiM^note  Ai Maeda's name as a singer. She also goes by "ai" in her capacity as a songwriter..
  • The power ballad Mimi sings to awaken ShogunGekomon is pretty cool in both its original and dubbed forms.
• The instrumental piece in the Japanese version that tends to be played during Moments Of Awesome (VenomVamdemon/VenomMyotismon's defeat and the first appearances of Magnamon and Quinglongmon/Azulongmon in 02, to mention a few) deserves recognition.
• Shouri ~Zen no Theme~, a strangely simultaneously eerie and beautiful track used to excellent effect in the last scenes of episode 21.
• The very different, but very amazing Italian opening.
• The never released Digimon version of Concierto de Aranjuez - it plays only at four points in the anime, and was never officially released, but each time it plays, it's awesome. First time it plays, the children and Leomon are going to Mount Mugen to face Devimon, the second time is when Yamato is tricked by Cherrymon, the third is when Taichi tells Sora and Takeru to search for Yamato while he and the others fend off LadyDevimon, and the fourth and most memorable time is when Angemon evolves into HolyAngemon/MagnaAngemon.
• The German dub takes the original Japanese songs and remasters them. Here's German Brave Heart, Break Up and Butter-Fly.
• Requiem plays during Omnimon/Omegamon's creation in Our War Game. It's beautiful and highlights the miracle that Taichi and Yamato created, which allowed them to save the world from Diablomon.
