With this score I discovered him and fell in love with this perfect fusion of oriental and electronic sound, especially the Nick & Masa theme, the honor and cultural shock of the two police officers could not be better reflected.

old comment but there is a version of “Nick and Mass” that plays in the finale airport scene. Right before the credits, Nick and Mass shake hands, Nick says “You watch your tail cowboy” and then you will hear a slower place synth melody of the theme playing. I did not hear this on the La-La Land 2cd release anywhere. Is the latest album not actually complete?
It wasn’t exactly “written”, more liked edited stems (sped up) to make a smoother transition to the song.
