But as soon as he started copying music from MAJOR American films like Avatar and Terminator... his goose was cooked. BTW, as it turns out, Kai wasn't even the first time he'd traced Terminator films. (1992) Hit Song Collection 10, Track 07 - SUITE: Virtual Triangle - (1991) Terminator 2 Theme And ...

Using the original instrumentals is dependent on Toei providing them with such. More precisely, it's a matter for record labels such as Nippon Columbia and ZAIN RECORDS to handle, since they're the ones with the phonographic copyrights to any such instrumentals. Like anything else related to the mu...

Personally I'd say it's up there with the likes of Future Trunks splitting Freeza clean in half back in episode 120.

The basic impression I’m getting is that that entertainment industries in Japan seem to have rather skewed priorities (from a Western perspective) when it comes to what is considered an unforgivable/fireable offense. If an artist has abhorrent views or commits a serious sex crime, it will often be ...

That's... a very low bar, to say the least.
Here we have the same player from the same topic from not too many moons ago.

Well, having someone around who openly deny Japan2nd WW atrocities (And even send open letter to US press about it) and had done stuff like this https://kotaku.com/politician-made-anti-lgbtq-comments-on-dragon-quest-com-1827885043 should be enough to fire him, or at least have serious talk and tell...

Like in Polish saying "Big can do more" Koichi Sugiyama was never fired as well https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/controversial-dragon-quest-composer-koichi-sugiyama-has-died/ Big & small controversies aside (from objectionable views on more than one critical subject to copyrig...

As some posts above have said, in topics like this, people definitely need to consider what part that Toei themselves have to play in all this, since it's been established time and time again that they're nowhere near being satisfactory in the home release department either.

That's been happening since 2019, after the Super Anime and Broly Movie ended. This isn't uniquely relevant to anything. Definitely not to the OP's reasons either. There's people out there who would still be interested without any new material, and people who wouldn't be interested anymore even wit...

Ditto, the best thing to do if you want to disappear from a site is to just do it, no announcements or anything.
Of course, you can leave a note in the signature or something if you want anyone to know.

Is this the same Kenji Yamamoto from Dragon Ball? I did a Google search for Kenji Yamamoto years ago and found another composer of the same name who's mainly famous for scoring Nintendo games. I also found a soccer player of the same name. So are you sure that you have the right guy? I mean, if you...

Bro. Do you really not know of the broadcast audios? You must be exceptionally uninformed on a bunch of things. Mistake #1: I do know of the broadcast audio, in fact I've gotten the chance to inspect it as separate from the video files (MKVCleaver, then into Audacity). Mistake #2: Regardless of its...

Would still be a great feature to include if Crunchymation ever got their heads out of their asses and gave original Dragon Ball a blu-ray release And for it to even be good, they'd have to outsource it to companies with people who actually care, since they clearly don't want to do a good job all t...

Japanese broadcast stereo audio However the original DB/Z series was always mono, for the entire run up till Movie 13. (Of course, others in the same time bracket were already adopting stereo as well as keeping their own masters.) Although you did say "in a perfect world/my ideal release"...

It's probably the "18 breaks Vegeta's arm with a kick" moment that's being referred to.

https://www.kanzenshuu.com/features/kenji-yamamoto-retrospective/ This particular page from over a decade ago has been a great help in summarizing and introducing the topic in question for those who may not have had a reference point to start with. So I'd like to begin by saying that I appreciate i...

And with that, we can probably retire this topic now (at least till the next inevitable time it pops up). It's a downer for sure, like a whole bunch of other realities in its medium's presentation to the US in particular (such as certain series never even taking off there and by extension in the wid...

On top of that, why would they use the Japanese pronunciations of Piccolo, Erasa, etc? Those are English words that Toriyama took as pun names for his characters. I mean, Sharpner ("Shaapna") is literally the word "sharpener," the Saiyan names are vegetable puns, Bulma's family'...

To cite another example, Saint Seiya getting one by Netflix only worked because the series never took off in the US to begin with. If the reduced Ocean-era production was all there was, and it led to similar results (impossible, even re-runs couldn't kill it), that might have been the case too (prov...
