Sony Music Entertainment is releasing two new CD singles (one in July, one in August) from the Dragon Ball universe, but these have a catch.
Apparently, we are getting all newly-recorded versions of the theme songs to Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
Entitled “Makafushigi Adventure -2005-” and “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA -2005-“, both will be performed by their original singers (Hiroki Takahashi and Hironobu Kageyama, respectively), and will contain bonus songs. The first disc is slated to contain the title track, “Mezase Tenka-ichi,” “Aoki Tabibito-tachi,” and “Dragon Ball Densetsu”. The second is slated to contain the title track and (at least) a new, 2005 version of “WE GOTTA POWER!”
This is extremely exciting news. Anyone else who has been in love with Hironobu Kageyama’s vocal songs for the series will surely pass out hearing some of their favorite songs performed with current-day production values.
First-pressings come with stickers, and both CDs will run you ¥1260 a pop. We do not know a whole lot else about the CDs, but we will let you know as soon as we find out. The release dates and catalog numbers are listed below:
- 20 July 2005; KDSD-73: Makafushigi Adventure! -2005-
- 03 August 2005; KDSD-74: CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA -2005-
