Yet Another "Complete Song Collection" Question...

Post by MagicBox » Sat Sep 01, 2012 9:42 pm

Howdy, everyone! It's been a while. :)

I've been on a bit of a DragonBall Music "buzz" ever since I got my copy of the BGM Collection set in the mail a few days ago, and I've been thinking about ordering the four "Complete Song Collection" sets to (more-or-less) finish up my DB music library. I entertained the idea of ordering the 13-Disc "Super Complete" mega-box, but then decided that I don't really care enough about the exclusive songs on that set (the "Best Remix" CD tracks, the karaoke tracks, the "live" tracks, and the "English" tracks) to throw down $200+ all at once.

So I've decided to just settle for the "Complete Song Collection" sets. I've done all my research (Thanks, Kanzenshuu Music Database!), and confirmed that these four sets contain every vocal song from the "golden age" of DBZ (1989-1996). I don't really care that the instrumental tracks from the "Hit Song Collections" were dropped, though I might pick up Volume 06 for good ol' "BP∞."

Okay, I'm rambling. Anyway, here's my question. During my research, I noticed that one single DBZ song (by my calculation) from 1989-1996 was missing: "Kung Fu Gymnastics," from the Movie 11 "Single +1" disc. It's not on the 13-Disc mega-box, either. Kanzenshuu confirms that it's performed by Hironobu Kageyama, which means it's a vocal song. Thus, it's the only glaring omission from an otherwise complete collection!

Does anyone know of any reason why this song wasn't included? I'd hate to think it was simply an oversight, especially since they so thoroughly assembled all the songs from more obscure albums (The "Akira Toriyama: The World" CD, for example). Also, if I miscalculated and there is another 1989-1996 song that wasn't included, please let me know if possible.

Thanks in advance, guys!

No, that was the only one. I own the Complete Song Collection Box, and not having that one song is a bit annoying... Especially since that means buying it through Yahoo! Japan Auctions...which means using Celga. :<

Actually, now that I look back through the Music Database on the main site, it looks like I missed a few vocal songs.

From 1995's "Music Fantasy" Disc:

MONDAIないさ!!
MONDAI Nai Sa!!
No Problem!!

你好大好き
Nīhao Daisuki
I Love Nīhao

キミがいる地球に来たよ
Kimi ga iru Chikyū ni Kita yo
I Came From Earth, Where You Are

So, in addition to "Kung Fu Gymnastics," I guess that means four vocal songs in total are missing from the Complete Song Collections? Hmm, darn. I'll probably end up looking around auction sites as well, linkdude. Thanks for the confirmation, though! :)

Why just those four songs, though? It boggles my mind...

Crap! I forgot about those ones... I too am going to eventually have to buy that CD. Plus the Hit Song Collections I don't own yet. I want ALL the Dragon Ball music. Even the non-vocal ones. :D

Also, would that be "I Love Nihao", or would it be "Nihao! I Love You"?

I'd translate it as "Nihao, I Love You" (The "Nihao" is Chinese, I'm assuming). But I just quickly copy/pasted those above song titles from the main site for convenience. ^_^;

Still pretty bummed about those four missing songs. Those are gonna be hard to find, too. Since I already have the Dragon Ball "Complete Song Collection," I was hoping the four DBZ sets would allow me to own everything from 1986-1996 in one fell swoop (Er, four fell swoops). Then I could focus on everything from 1996-onward (GT songs, etc.).

Bah.
