Christina Aguilera isn't necessarily a fan just because a poster appeared in a music video and the rest are D list material.
Snoop Dogg and RZA(if that can substantiated) are at least C-list.

Maybe we can have them tweet Funimation, Toei, and groupe AB for Dragon Box Blu-ray rays 4:3, all the image. :D

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Keiji Inafune, co-creator of the Mega Man series and creator of The Mighty Number 9, stated this in an interview regarding his wishes to make Mega Man Legends 3:

“Let’s say that, if we have all seven Dragon Balls right here, right now, and Shen Long comes up and says, ‘What’s your wish?’ My wish would be, give me all the right tools, people, and environment to create Legends 3.”

This is stupidly awesome to me as well. :lol:

It's just cool to see the global presence of DBZ in action there, if anything. Though I do love me some Rafa Nadal.

They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

It's even better when you consider of how Rafa as a tennis player pretty much personifies the recurring themes of Dragon Ball of working hard, pushing yourself beyond your limits, self-improvement, never giving up etc.

The actor who plays Glenn on Walking Dead is a fan of DragonBall Z. He posted this on Twitter a while back.

Bryan Tyler, the guy who composed Dragon Ball Evolution's music is a pretty big composer and therefore I think a kind of celebrity, and he said he loved Dragon ball.

The character Hiro Nakamura from "Heroes" mentions Future Trunks in his fictional blog. So one of the writers of that series is a fan of Dragon Ball Z.

Stephen chow too iirc
Stephen Chow is very well professed with Shonen Jump in general. If you watched interviews of him in his office (via remaster dvd's for some of his older films), you can see that his office is filled with complete sets of Shonen Jump manga. He even highly recommends City Hunter in "Fight Back to School 2"
The world is your's.
