James Bond theme snuck into Kimi ga Hero?

The AB dub of Movie six offers karaoke versions of the opening and ending songs.
Then I heard this

Perhaps this is why

On the subject of Bond didn't Shunsuke Kikuchi have a Bond-esc piece in that movie? Also we should keep quite, we wouldn't want another Yamamoto incident. :shh:

Aha, nice find. Incidentally, the Korean dub too has the Karaoke version of Kimi ga Hero, which sounds slightly better: http://yahoo.jp/box/MseTQT

I believe there was also a piece used in the Buu arc that also had a resemblance with the James Bond theme. I'll have to dig that up, perhaps it will make a nice podcast email.

Most of the DragonBall - Red Ribbon Army Soundtracks ( Shunsuke Kikuchi ) are inspired from 007's theme .

Most of? They're only four or five tracks that contain General Blue's leitmotif, which is based on the 007 theme. Speaking of the 007-esque tracks of the Kikuchi score, as I said before, I'm almost sure that the director told him to write such pieces.

As Kei17 said, only General Blue's leitmotif bgm's were inspired by 007. There were 3 of them to be exact. A slow, medium and fast leitmotif, with the fast one being released.
This is the fast released one. It's the first bgm you hear.

So I wasn't hearing things when I watched Drandosk's fanmade Andorid Saga power level video with Bond-like music kicking in with #19 and #20.

I brought this up on another thread. There actually is a complete rip of the 007 theme in one episode that is part of an unreleased track. I heard it and had to rewind it, and yeah, it was there. If I remember correctly it had basically the same notes as the Bond theme during the gun barrel sequence. It was from one of the blue episodes in the cave
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada
