Toshio Furukawa (the voice of Piccolo) updated his blog yesterday to say that they were recording lines for the first episode of Dragon Ball Kai, while Naotoshi Shida (keyframe animator for Dragon Ball Z) also had a blog update noting that they finished up the keyframe animation for the new ending theme to the series.

It sounds like everything is starting to come together for its 05 April 2009 debut on Fuji TV in Japan!
