I always felt the Japanese BGM captured the flavor of Dragonball better . Sure you get to hear "Cha-la" re-arranged 100 times over but each time it captures a different emotion. Tha's not to say the US BGM isn't good but It just feels like the Japanese BGM gets over Toriyama's sense of fun...

The Dragonball fans were used to watching either raw Japanese episodes and movies or getting them subtitled through the old network (Chinatown Bootleggers, Fansubbers)....

The disc itself is Tokusatsu themed including themes from many sentai and Metal Hero shows (including some Kamen Rdier songs that Animetal has already covered). The last bit is a maedley of Jump themed songs (i.e. Shonen Jump) This marks Animetal's second go round on Makafushigi Adventure. It's also...

Ok, just checked the Animetal official website and saw that the 7th Animetal Marathon is due 10/21. How is this relevant you may ask? Simple, because it features Masaki Endo and company performing Cha-la Head Cha-la! Wow this makes 2 new versions of Cha-la this year. Ican hardly wait to hear this. T...
