Music Replacement Question

Post by Eight-Star Dragon » Sun Jan 15, 2012 3:02 pm

Before Toei went and wiped all of Yamamoto's music off the face of the Earth, they briefly replaced some two of his most infamous Kai tracks with some of his other tracks.

In episode 56, "The Ebb and the Flow" playing when Trunks kills Freeza was replaced by "The Braveheart Challenges the Strong". I've heard that "A New Foe Rears Its Head" was replaced in one episode by "Mystery". Does anyone know which one? (I'm guessing it was 55, but I have no idea.) Is it against the rules to ask for a clip showing the replacement? Thanks a lot for your answers.

This should be at the music section.

I've left Kai Yamamoto some time ago, since then it's been only Kai Kikuchi.

It falls between Kai and music; I don't see a problem with classifying it here in this forum section.

A thread I tossed up a while back details some of this information, and other folks chimed in with additional information. Hope it's helpful!

Actually I think that those two replacements were only done by Funimation for reruns of the broadcast version (Nicktoons), Toei AFAIK never replaced those two tracks before switching to Kikuchi (although I could be wrong) and to answer your question about A New Foe Rears His Head that song was actually replaced with A Mighty Foe and both replacements were in ep 56.

Hope this helps.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

Thanks for the help, guys!

So was it really Funimation that did the replacements? That would be pretty interesting if true. If it was at the end of episode 56 that "Mystery" was thrown in, it would mean that it would play twice in one episode! Which I don't have a problem with, I like that track a lot more then I should :D
