The newest trailer for Tenka’ichi Dai-Bōken (being released outside Japan as Revenge of King Piccolo) finally gives us a name for the new theme song performed by Hiroki Takahashi: “POWER OF DREAMER”. It would not be a Dragon Ball song title without the wonderful Engrish, now, would it? Furthermore, IGN has updated their listings for …

While the “Koro-chan Pack” ended up getting canceled, it seems as if the Kai cash-in is only just beginning. Big thanks to Rachel for pointing us to a listing over on CDJapan for a Dragon Ball Kai Original Soundtrack Vol. 1. There are regular (COCX-35744) and “Limited Edition” (COCX-35743) versions available (¥2940 and ¥3150, respectively). …
It is impossible for FUNimation to ignore it at this point, so their hint that we will just have to wait until Anime Expo for the full, real, true confirmation will have to suffice for now in terms of an “official” statement. Visitor EDDYS318 sent us a note with a link to a very real …
In addition to the cover art, the official website for Tenka’ichi Dai-Bōken confirms that the game will have multiple control schemes including Wii Remote + Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and even the Gamecube controller: The latest commercial on the website also confirms a new theme song by Hiroki Takahashi (the performer of “Makafushigi Adobenchā!”, the opening …

It has the same information we have seen elsewhere (September 15th, $49.98)… Meanwhile, FUNimation’s official …
Episode #0180 of the podcast is available for download! With “season one” of the fantastically hilarious “DBZ Abridged” now complete, we decided it was time to bring some of the guys from TeamFourStar back on the show to talk about the project.

We already told you all about how Wal-Mart’s website updated with a listing for a so-called “Dragon Ball: Season One (Widescreen)” set, which FUNimation has officially stated was a “mistake”. Well, now that Wal-Mart’s listing has gone even further and included cover art for the set, it is pretty safe to assume that the “mistake” …
A quick article over on ICv2 about Navarre/FUNimation notes that they have extended their license on the Dragon Ball franchise for another five years. Nothing is stated with regards to when their prior license agreement runs (or ran) out, and what the new end-date in their contract may be.
Navarre, FUNimation’s parent company, issued their annual report earlier this month. There are quite a few interesting tidbits we can pull out of this relating to Dragon Ball.
