Backwards message in "Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power!"

Post by DB1984 » Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:02 pm

Surprised nobody has made a thread for this. Ever wondered what the gibberish at the beginning of Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power! was? When you play the beginning of the song backwards, it reveals a message that gives a list of names, followed by "Ganbattannda!" (which means that all these people worked really hard). These were the people listed:

Kenji Shimizu (Fuji TV producer)

Takeshi Ike (An anime song writer active in the late 1980s who has produced over 2,000 songs)

Tatsuhiro Tokieda

Takashi Uchida

Kenji Yamamoto (The music arranger for Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power!)

Hanae Yanagi

Takashi Nomura

Wow. That's pretty cool. Never thought about that early part of the song being a reverse message.

Has anyone else realized this before?

I think I've thought before that it might be something backwards, but I decided I probably wouldn't be able to make out the proper line anyway. Thanks a lot for clearing it up! :D

That's amazing. And here I thought playing music backwards was ridiculous and pointless. :)

I don't think even the Japanese DBZ fans knew about it. Here's where it was first mentioned anywhere.

Incredible, I had never realized it before :D

The TV version cuts a lot of that part of the song. Maybe it's precisely the bit with the names?

The Japanese fans already knew it a quarter-century ago. It's just that casual fans didn't know it and became a hot topic at this late date for some reason.
