Why would they need to remove the vocals through archaic means? These are modern productions -- no doubt there are full, multi-track masters of each and every song. Hell, karaoke versions of most of them exist across the two Kai original soundtracks and the new Koro-chan Pack CDs.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:Since ripping the vocals from the songs is going to be hard. FUNi will have to make their own instrumentals like they did with "Mystical Adventure" and "Gradually, Your Charming My Heart".
I'm not watching a whole lot of modern dubs, but I believe the standard practice is to simply leave them as-is in Japanese during the show.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:Or they can leave the songs in, but I doubt they will if Dragon Ball Z Kai will be aired on T.V.
She/Her Don't forget to take your estrogen! I also heard at least one insert song in the dub for the original DB kept as-is.jjgp1112 wrote:I do recall at least one occasion when watching Dragon Ball on Toonami when an insert song was played, and it was in full Japanese. I don't remember any others very well, because I haven't watched the Red Ribbon episodes in 8 years.

I've seen the whole of Dragon Ball on Cartoon Network and from memory they only left in about three songs. If Dragon Ball Z Kai were to air on Cartoon Network as well they would play instrumental versions of the songs or take them out altogether.VegettoEX wrote: I'm not watching a whole lot of modern dubs, but I believe the standard practice is to simply leave them as-is in Japanese during the show.
I don't know if we have all the reasons for which songs were removed during the original DragonBall, but the ones that stayed, they did play when it was on Cartoon Network, right? What reason would they have for removing them now when aired on TV? Highly doubtful.
Not that there's anything said about a TV broadcast, and not that any of us should expect anything other than digital distribution, me thinks...

I really like TeamFourStar's musical numbers, but I don't know how well Funi's VA's can sing.
It sort of defeats the purpose of "Brothers" if it's one person singing it. It was meant to be sung by at least two different people (and a chorus). That's Vic Mignogna for you, as arrogant as ever.xzero wrote:The dubbed intro and endings for GT were really well done. Vic Mignogna can sing very well. He did Dan Dan for GT, as well as his own version of Brothers from FMA (presumably for fun since it was never used in the show).

Yeah man, covering a song by yourself for kicks instead of making it a duet with a kid whose voice has yet to fully develop, man, that's arrogant!penguintruth wrote:It sort of defeats the purpose of "Brothers" if it's one person singing it.

He does have a pleasant singing voice, though, I have to give him that.
The arrogant part is doing a duet song solo. It implies that he thinks he can do the work of two singers. And a chorus.ThunderPX wrote:Yeah man, covering a song by yourself for kicks instead of making it a duet with a kid whose voice has yet to fully develop, man, that's arrogant!

But it's just something he does at cons for fans. You're making out as if he's pissing on somebody and their honor.penguintruth wrote:The arrogant part is doing a duet song solo.

Funimation normally does a good job when they dub songs, like the openings and endings of Dragonball and GT.penguintruth wrote:They should probably leave them be.
90% of the time you hear dubbed versions of anime songs, they're awful.
