All of the Kai releases

Post by Krillin1994 » Sun Jun 19, 2016 8:08 pm

I've heard that the musical scores on Kai releases changed about between composers a lot, could somebody give me a run down on all the different versions there are/which is which.

You may wish to read our retrospective about Kenji Yamamoto here on our website.

Long story short, the Japanese TV broadcast of Kai got to episode 92, the Blu-rays to 76, and the DVDs to 72 with the Yamamoto score.

The American home release got from "Part 1" to "Part 4" with the Yamamoto score.

All subsequent re-releases use recycled music from Shunsuke Kikuchi's original Dragon Ball Z musical score.

Didn't the Japanese TV broadcast of Kai get to episode 95 with Yamamoto? Or am I mistaken about this?

Nope, you're right. It was 95. 96 and 97 were Kikuchi, and then the last episode never aired.

Yeah, I have no idea how I missed that far and typed 92. My bad! It's absolutely 95.
