Did the Dragon Ball Z Kai Part 5 Blu-Ray/DVD release have Kenji Yamamoto's ost or Shunsuke Kikuchi's ost?

I'm wondering this because even though although Yamamoto was fired around March 9th 2011, i'm seeing clips on YT (that are not from the Nicktoons broadcast, and that are english dubbed) that have his ost in episodes such as episodes

To clarify, episode 60 and 64's uncut release was part of part 5's release, which had episodes 53-65. Episode 60 aired March 9th, which was when Toei announced Yamamoto's scandal/departure. Episode 64 first aired on Nicktoons May 30th 2011, which was a few months after Yamamoto's departure, but had Kikuchi's score. Part 5 was release on June 28th 2011, and that was also a few months after Yamamoto's departure.

With this info, i'm wondering how those clips had Yamamoto's background score. Did the users who uploaded those videos just manually placed those tracks themselves using the Japanese broadcast as reference, or did part 5's release had Yamamoto's background score?

Parts 5 - 8, and seasons 1 -4, all have Kickuchis score. Some fans muted his soundtrack on certain scenes and inserted the Yamamoto score themselves, which are the ones you're seeing on youtube.

I bet they're from the Yamamoto Revival Project which, like you guessed, used the Japanese broadcast as a reference and manually added the Yamamoto score to the dub Parts 5-8 (by separating the voices from the 5.1 mix, applying reverb to them as needed, and then adding the tracks).

One of these days I'd like to see raw rips of Nicktoons episodes that had Yamamoto that were Kikuchi in Part 5, and see if it sounds better than the Yamamoto Revival Project in some areas. Not to mention web rips of the episodes which were broadcast on Nicktoons with some tracks switched around right before the big Kikuchi swap.

This video contains Trunks Killing Freeza in the Kai with OG music, the Kai early change that still had Yamamoto music, and the Kikuchi music. The early change only had like 2 or 3 songs changed from Rpisode 55 and 57.
