Big thanks to Futabatei Shimei for digging up information on a new CD for us. With what will hopefully have better results than the “2005 Ver” releases of “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” and “Makafushigi Adventure!”, TEAM Entertainment will be releasing a “21st Century Version” mini-album consisting of the Dragon Ball opening and ending themes, an old image song, two new (image?) songs, some remixes, and even an English version! All these from Ushio Hashimoto and Hiroki Takahashi (the songs’ original performers), no less!

That is some pretty neat stuff right there. We have the obvious opening and closing themes to Dragon Ball, along with one of the better image songs of the time. Tracks 4 & 5 are completely new, and are performed by both Ushio Hashimoto and Hiroki Takahashi (the other songs on the album are solo versions just like the originals). Of extreme interest is that final track, touted as an “English Version” of the series’ opening theme!
We look forward to getting more information on the CD, which drops 04 June 2008 in Japan.
