"WarioWare: Ashley’s Theme" (1:00) Click here to listenComposition Supervisor: Masaru Tajima Arrangement Supervisor: Tomoko Sasaki Vocals: Emily McIntosh, Terry Lauber, James Cowan• The copyright for this music is held by Nintendo • Check your volume settings.It’s Ashley’s Song from WarioWare Touched! It includes vocals. What do you think of this rhythmic arrangement? Smash Bros. Dojo is being unveiled worldwide in 6+1 languages. ( This is the main page where you select your language. The "+1" simply stands for the subtle differences between American and British English.) In the Japanese version, you can enjoy the Japanese, original version of this song. On the pages for the other languages, you can enjoy a version for which the Treehouse at Nintendo of America recorded the vocals. I’ll go ahead and link to both of them.

Mona > Ashley, and I don't like the original version of this song, but I love this arrangement.

First of all, curses! Mona Pizza is a far better song. Maybe both will be in.
Secondly, I have to disagree with Johan here. I loved the original version of this song. It was charming and cute. This arrangement of it nearly makes my EARS BLEED. Who the hell chose that vocalist!? Who at NOA decided that it would be a good idea to make Ashley a valley girl? I'm glad that My Music lets you turn songs off.

Can't listen to it yet, but is this where we go "ASHLEY FOR BRAWL1!11!1one!"?
Also, kinda called it.

Completely unexpected, and completely excellent. Sounds like the theme song to an old children's cartoon.
Now all we need is Mike's theme and I will LIVE on the WarioWare stage, day and night! Go! Go! Go go Mike!

Great musical theme. Athough, having listened to them both, I can't figure out the difference between the UK and US versions.

Just listened to it, and honestly I prefer the DS's version, but its still okay.
Personally, I'd say
DS > US Brawl > JP Brawl (she sounds to little for what she appears to be)

DS > US Brawl > JP Brawl (she sounds to little for what she appears to be) So wait. You think Ashley sounds too young (or maybe you just mean not grand enough) in the JP version, but you're okay with her sounding like a peppy teenager? I'm not sure what you think Ashley "appears to be", but I'd lean more towards "little girl" than I would towards "cheerleader that took five pounds of Prozac before singing this song". NOT THAT I DISLIKE THE US VERSION OR ANYTHING.

I hate this song! Always have! This is worse than the DK Rap!
I would have expected Cyrgor's theme. God Bless the My Music update.

NOT THAT I DISLIKE THE US VERSION OR ANYTHING. I'd say she's about, I dunno, 12ish? So I would say that the US voice is closer to that than the Japanese one. Not much closer (both are pretty far off), but yeah, kind of. Oh, I dunno.

...I hate to think how the rest of the internet is reacting to this song. For my own sake.... I'm not going to look.

I like the US one better because the way those japs pronounce 'As-shu-ley' makes my blood boil. And I actually like the woman's voice in the US version, probably because I don't imagine Ashley herself singing it. Kinda want the DK Rap to return now, just to hear some goofy Japanese version of it. Also I hadn't really thought about vocal songs yet. Maybe F-Zero's stage will have the captain's GX theme playing. Or how about some Fire Emblem Opera?? ...I hate to think how the rest of the internet is reacting to this song. For my own sake.... I'm not going to look. I dunno but japanophiles will no doubt think the little kid version is the best shit ever.

Seems to be rather split around the parts of interweb I visit. Also, this chick did Ashley's voice. I don't know what the point of pointing that out is, but....

Why would anyone react badly to it? I loved it! But then, Ashley's stage was my favourite in Touched... mostly because of the song.
