Zane's entrance is an energetic, almost community experience shared by the fans, the viewers at home, and the wrestler himself. It starts with Zane's unmistakable entrance music, followed by the buck rushing out onto the stage with an infectious enthusiasm, often wearing his emotions on his sleeve as he grins excitedly at the crowd, seemingly taken aback each and every time at their support for him, no matter how many times he's experienced it. Per his portrayal of a friendly yet awkward character, Zane often makes his entrance by scrambling out into the arena, hurried and wide-eyed, as if to imply that he was running late for the show and arrived just in the nick of time, one of many little quirks to his character that helped to endear him to the fans so successfully. In the lead up to the second swell of his theme, Zane will fall to his knees at the center of the stage, bowing his head in appreciation for his fans. When the Swell begins, Zane with strike his signature "Heart Point" pose, as his colorful pyrotechnics fire off behind him.

One of the most recognizable themes in the business, Zane's entrance music was composed by accomplished gaming composer Hoji Okada and commissioned by Zane himself, allowing him to take it with him regardless of which promotion he works for. That that's a good thing, because Zane's music has become synonymous with the affable buck, its distinct, upbeat, triumphant sound immediately bringing longtime fans to their feet and familiarizing new fans to Zane's overall presentation. It's a common occurrence for fans to sing along with the main riff of the theme song, and Zane himself will skip, hop, or dance down to the ring along with them.

Since Zane's theme was the first thing I made with the new keyboard, I decided it might be good to go back and tweak it a little now that I have a little more experience using it. I felt the original version, when compared to later projects, sounded a little stark so I wanted to add a few more layers onto it. I've also long wanted to add a little more flare to the drums at the end of certain bars. It more or less sounds the same, and those who don't immediately remember the original version might not even know what the changes are, but I'm just hoping this version fleshes it out a little better. But hell, I probably just made it more annoying.

Fun fact for the 0% who care to know, Zane's theme is a re-imagined take on this project I did a good while back, which I don't like to revist much since the mixing is pretty shit if listened to with headphones. Still, see if you can pick up on the subtle difference in tone: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38388601/
