Non-American fans of Faulconer

[Cure Dragon 255]

I want to know how many there are. So if you know one or are one please say so here.

Do they even exist? The Latin subs kept the Japanese soundtrack and I think most of the other European/Asian dubs did the same.

[Cure Dragon 255]

You meant DUBS and yes. They dont. But there are plenty of them. Also same on you for not seeing Latin Americans as Americans. That really irks me.

I've always loved his score. We got a good chunk of Z with his score for the UK broadcast; the Ginyu, Frieza, Garlic Jr, and Trunks sagas, and the Fusion saga for its original broadcast and early reruns.

For me it was a huge part of the show that I couldn't get enough of. I remember always looking forward to the Spirit Bomb episode in Goku vs Frieza, largely because I thought the Spirit Bomb theme was incredible.

You'd be hard pressed to find any non-English fans that like the Faulconer score.

[MasenkoHA]

I imagine any country that got the in-house Funi dub…so like every English speaking country to some degree? had Faulconer fans.


More interesting would be to see fans of the Faulconer music who never got the Funi dub. They seem less likely to exist. Latin American fans seem pretty proud that their dub didn’t change the score based on Youtube comments

[Cure Dragon 255]

I found one. I am not kidding. But they were probably a Latin American living in USA.

Statistically there has to be. Statistically if someone dubbed Star Wars with ABBA and KISS, someone would've been a fan of it. Statistically if someone dubbed Mughal-e-Azam with Motown and Yé-yé music but only in Yugoslavia, someone would've been a fan of it.

But it's a small number no matter what. Down to pure preference in many cases. Like I think "non-American living in America" shouldn't count; I want to hear cases of someone who had no attachment to FUNimation DBZ and encountered it later in life. Maybe they watched or read Dragon Ball as a child or a teenager, maybe they never watched DBZ but did watch other media inspired by it (or even the media it was inspired by), and then they see what the USicans did to it. And in a surprising twist, they don't hate it or perhaps even prefer it.

"I have friends in Japan, the Japanese prefer Faulconer more than Kikuchi" as often claimed on Faulconer track YouTube comments is never going to happen though.

I'm English but I assume we had faulconer music all along?

I remember a couple of different voice casts being used I guess ocean and funi but don't remember music changing

[Majin Buu]

Hell, even in America I doubt many people outside of Funimation dub fans know who Bruce Faulconer is. That's likely double the case for anyone outside of the English speaking world, where most countries just used the original score.

If you got an English speaking dub the music changed no matter what country you lived in and you got Faulconer at the very least from the time Goku beat on Burter and Jeice to Trunks revealing to Goku he’s from the future.

If you live in England you would of had Faulconer's score for Ginyu, Freeza, and Garlic Junior, and the initial broadcast of the Fusion saga. The Saiyan and early Namek arcs used the Ron Wasserman score, and the rest was composed by Tom Keenlyside and John Mitchell, who also composed music that was used in other shows Ocean dubbed like Monster Rancher and the Ruby Spears MegaMan cartoon.

The voices changed in all English speaking countries because all of them had Ian Corlett, Peter Kelamis and Sean Schemmel, but the Canadian, Dutch, UK and Irish airings also included Kirby Morrow for most of the series.

Is rock music even popular outside the U.S.?

????? Yes...? Very much so. Especially in Japan.

[MasenkoHA]

Is rock music even popular outside the U.S.?

This can’t possibly be a genuine question

[Soppa Saia People]

rock over japan.

to be sorta fair to a post that doesn't really deserve it, maybe precita meant was/is that type of synthy hard rock stuff is popular outside of america ?

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

Is rock music even popular outside the U.S.?

Yes, very much so. It's probably the second most popular genre globally after pop.

[jjgp1112]

And let's not even talk about the United Kingdom, which arguably fielded even more famous rock groups than the U.S.

What an all-time silly post.

[Brodes]

Is rock music even popular outside the U.S.?

Well. This is certainly a question.

I'm not sure what thought process could even lead you to ask this as a legitimate question. Of course rock music is popular outside the US. Have you genuinely never heard of any non-US rock bands? Like not even the ultra famous ones that have been around forever such as The Rolling Stones or AC/DC or anything?

[Fionordequester]

Alright, alright, I think the point has been made .
