In fact, even the first three Budokai game soundtracks gave the same impression, much more so than Infinite World. What's more important is that it's difficult to ignore the astonishing resemblance that this soundtrack has with Yoko Kanno's music for Cowboy Bebop or even the numerous Lupin III albums by Takeo Yamashita and Yuji Ohno. Together, they managed in keeping the same well-defined and enjoyable style from the Budokai scores, being still backed up by professional performers. Due to the many members featured in the Infinite World project, the assembly of musicians was simply called 'The Dragon Ball Z Big Band Project', something that helps in marketing the album in a more mainstream way. All of them are established musicians whose works range from numerous anime to game projects, including Cowboy Bebop and Lupin III that deeply influence the soundtrack. Perhaps, the most defining factor in the success of the album is that Kenji and Kanon Yamamoto benefit from a vast assembly of very talented performers. Of course, the score was composed by Kenji Yamamoto, but this time around he was assisted by Kanon Yamamoto too. What's surprising though, is how great it turned out to be, rivaling even the Budokai soundtracks. Nonetheless, the production values were still good, so the music wasn't reused and was replaced by a brand new soundtrack. Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World didn't accomplish much as a game, seeing as it was mostly made up of recycled ideas and material from its predecessors.
