In this final installment, I will focus on music cues that have not yet been mentioned in the first three installments of this series, as well as additional usages of cues that have<\/em> been mentioned in the first three articles and corrections of data presented in those articles.<\/p>\n

4TH CONFRONT: THE REST<\/p>\n

One of the cues I’ve heard described the most in comments on this series of articles is the music which replaced \u201cCharging Fort Wagner\u201d as the Iron Chefs’ ascension music on 2001-2008 Food Network airings of Iron Chef<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, I cannot identify the source of this cue, which has been given the nickname \u201cYomigaeru\u201d (Japanese for \u201cCome to Life\u201d) here on the Iron Chef Filehouse.<\/p>\n

However, due to the so-called \u201cSecret Santa\u201d who made the 1996 \u201cBeijing Decisive Battle\u201d (ICC episode number 441) available to us here on the ICF, we now know that \u201cYomigaeru\u201d was, in fact, used on the original Japanese version of Iron Chef<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

During the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Decisive Battle (see the Part 1 download), \u201cYomigaeru\u201d can be heard at time code 16 minutes, 19 seconds into the video. \u201cYomigaeru\u201d plays until time code 16 minutes, 40 seconds into the video (at which time \u201cCharging Fort Wagner\u201d begins as normal).<\/p>\n

Here is an example of \u201cYomigaeru\u201d as used on the post-2001-to-2008 U.S.-dubbed version of Iron Chef<\/span><\/em> (taken from the Fois Gras Battle between Komei Nakamura [in his debut battle as an Iron Chef] and challenger Kiyoshi Suzuki [ICC episode number 410]), followed by its use in the \u201cBeijing Decisive Battle…\u201d<\/p>\n
