Yah! Generic..artwork… 🙄
But at least the track listing is pretty good I suppose.
Goku’s frowny-face looks so “I’m trying to look mean” rather than genuine anger. XD That’s great.
For anyone thinking about buying this, keep in mind that the “Legend Of DragonWorld” set (which has every single one of these songs *and* more) is currently only selling for ¥300 more on Amazon Japan.
I mean, that one doesn’t claim to have “remastered” tracks or anything, but still. 😕
^ LMAO! Even I thought that he looked like a ‘modern’ shounen char for a sec XD
Love the fact that it says ’20th Century – SONGS BEST’ ;D
I have a sinking feeling that “remastered” isn’t a positive thing.
Looks like something off Deviant art; does not have magic of olden artwork. It could be my hatred of the digitized look, oh well! BUY, BUY, BUY.
