Nope, I really don't like the song.

[SonEric84]

Trunks looks a little awkward.

It must be the hair if anything..

Might be the nose too. I dunno though, some of the artwork just doesn't look right.

[MR.Mark]

Cell looks like he's posing in a sitcom, "oh that lovable Cell".

Lol, someone should quote this.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

You just did!

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

You just did!

I think he means quote it on their signature or somewhere else.

I'm thinking the same thing but since he doesn't said it specificly, I'll take that chance!

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Goku's card is revealed!

My copy of the CD single unfortunately shipped today... I write "unfortunately" because I actually wanted to cancel this order and purchase the latest anime guide and art book... since that would be spending my money (*cough* actually my parents' *cough*) a little bit more wisely. I tried to cancel it yesterday, but apparently it was a public holiday and my message wasn't replied to until after the single shipped... Anyway, I guess I'll have to deal with the single. That poster better have some hint of Dragon Ball on it!!!

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Hey! I actually got a shipping confirmation from Amazon Japan quite some time ago before you posted that!

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Today I got my DVD and CD, I'm watching the DVD and it's looks like the member go to Dragon Ball Kai studio, so they met Masako Nozawa and Ryo Horikawa there and they recording Dragon Ball Kai lines! they show some Cell clip!

Goku100xKamehameha, congrats!

Anyhow, I did the English translation of the lyrics after the release so here it is. Enjoy!

Kokoro no Hane (English-translated lyrics)
Translated by: SilverPlaqueVII

More even more to have a dream
A little more even more quickly
People started to run
Because I am flying towards of the sky!

You go to show details of the road
The walls are high and standing to be closed
Gently close your eyes quietly and take a breath
The heart puffs to blow in the chest
I will take you to the Wind of Courage
Before I knew it your body will float

Do I need to think about something gently
To try anyone's strength, hold on to something

More even more to keep us dreaming about
A little more even more quickly
Impossible and I gave up far higher
You should be able to do your best
More even more to have a dream
A little more even more quickly
Everyone seems Felt to tremble
Because I am flying towards of the sky!

Even if we intellectually have a strong point
I will define happiness but it's no use
To sustain an injury, I will feel my pain
I am as sad and lonely as can be promised not to tell
You'll be stronger than before
I play the mind the rain of tears in my heart

I am going to throw away and leave something as it is
To have faith in you, hold on to something

More even more not even recklessly
A little breath more even more sweltering
The one and only hope to get out of here
To the horizon until over there
More even more to have a dream
To go across more even more freely
Hamming patience is the only way
Because I am flying towards of the sky!

Fly! We are the birds!
Fly! And how to fly!
Fly! I thrust my way beforehand
Fly! We came back
Fly! Feeling as if in a dream
I'm sure that one day
The air is this much to fly
A moth flying into the sky!

Oh Fly
More even more to keep us dreaming about
A little more even more quickly
Impossible and I gave up far higher
You should be able to do your best
More even more to have a dream
A little more even more quickly
People always just believe in
Furthermore because I am flying towards of the sky!

My copy of the limited edition Kai version remarkably shipped to my house today. I was surprised that it came in just three days with standard "Air Mail" shipping. Anyway, I like the cover artwork, especially the back of the slip cover. It shows Goku and Gohan flying... Unfortunately, when you take off the slip cover, you are left with a back cover that just shows the girls. This cover is repeated on the back of the insert booklet. The disc artwork is once again Goku and Gohan flying in a white scale. It is very nice. Perhaps I can post some images later on today!

The songs themselves are okay. After listening to "Kokoro no Hane" a few dozen songs, I'm starting to like it a lot - especially the "off-vocal" version of it. The B-side, "Sekaijuu no Ame" is a ballad and isn't really that good of a song to me (maybe it would help if I knew what they were singing - translation, anyone?). I could stand listening to it, but I probably won't. Of course, if I listen to it a few more times, like I did with "Muteki Aura no Enajii" (if that's the correct title), I'll probably start to like it a lot, also. Overall, it is an okay CD.

The DVD was great. The music video was quite strange, considering the girls are acting as robots for whatever reason. The live performance seemed like they were just lip-syncing (maybe that's just me...). However, the dubbing video was awesome! The girls got a chance to see Masako Nozawa and Ryu Horikawa recording lines. It was strange because they were doing scenes from the Saiyan arc, and immediately after, they had the girls each dub the same exact scene from the Artificial Human arc. I love how Masako Nozawa speaks as Goku and a moment later she changes her voice to sound like Gohan. It's awesome! The DVD ends with an interview with Masako Nozawa. I found seeing Nozawa and Horikawa dubbing to be a "beautiful" moment because they seemed to be having so much fun... There's one last thing I should point out - the DVD seems to be somewhat centered around the leader of the group because she seems to talk a lot. She even says good-bye to Nozawa and Horikawa while the other girls just stand there. It was weird. Anyway, that's it for my mini-review. I hope this persuades some of you to pick up the single!

Thanks to me (kudos to Herms), advanced translation of this song is accurate.

[VegettoEX]

We really don't need to double-quote a gigantic post to say just a couple words.

Furthermore... uhh... has anyone actually looked at SilverPlaqueVII's translation to see if it's even in the same ballpark? His "translations" of things have been stabs in the dark at best in the past.

Did you get the poster? and my copy came at the day of it's release! pretty awesome!

[DBZfan29]

Yes, I also received the poster... It helps make sense of the music video a bit more with the short descriptions of the girls...

Anyway... This isn't a reply to you; I just don't want to double-post. Could someone translate this for me? It is the title of the DVD feature with Masako Nozawa, Ryo Horikawa, and Team Dragon.

ドラゴンボール改アフレコ体験!!～アフレコ現場にチームドラゴン from AKB48がやって来た!～

My guess at it (based on a crappy translation by Google is), "Dragon Ball Kai Dubbing Experience!! ～(blah blah blah with "Team Dragon from AKB48")!～"
