That's how it was on the season sets' track, too.

Really? That's weird. If they're going to use the Kikuchi track for the dub, why not use "Cha-La Head Cha-La"? They should have tried to do an English version of it, like the Creative Products Corp one.

Those orange sets must truly be dreadful.

I guess they were saving that type of little surprise for the GT sets, as GT's dub was in far more need of musical attention than DBZ.

It's sad we that the dub watchers won't get Cha-la Head-cha-la, but I'm happy none the less. :D

Original Japanese score on the dub? That's... unfortunate. I don't care about these episodes because Johnson did the score, but obviously this doesn't look good for the Faulconer-scored episodes. There goes any reason to watch the stream for me.

I wouldn't have expected them to use the dub score if they hadn't said they would, so I'm not terribly upset. It's still pretty cool that they're finally doing this.

I actually enjoyed Nathan Johnson's stuff more than Bruce Faulconer's. It's no Kikuchi, though.

I thought Johnson's score was rather terrible. It's no big deal that it's not on these episodes, but once you get to episode 68... :?

Even though I do dislike Johnson's score, it's more a question of whether my nostalgia overrides my hatred of replacement scores. In Faulconer's case that true. I even like his music by itself too, but he'd be in the same boat if I wasn't "attached" to that version of the show.

You really don't realize how awesome the Dragonboxes are until you go back and watch the Orange Bricks. Also, omg commericals!
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

The Green and Blue Bricks look much, much better than the Orange Bricks.
