German replacement music

Post by Rory » Sat Jan 31, 2015 2:59 pm

So this might be common knowledge here now, but how often was insert/replacement used in the German dub of Dragon Ball Z?

I ask cause I recently heard the German the replacement music for Unmei no Hi, which, if I may go on a little tangent, is totally fucking killer. It stands pretty well by itself as a cool track, while still trying to fit in with the rest of the original score, managing to sound pretty reminiscent of Kukuchi's stuff. I still think Unmei no Hi is a superior track, it's one of my all time DB favourites, but this is one of the better DBZ replacement tracks I've heard (in comparison to all the other dub tracks, Faulconer, Ocean stuff, etc), but of course that's totally subjective.

Anyway, I guess I'm just curious as I figured that (based on this) the German dub would replace any insert songs in the series, however Battle Point Unlimited seems to still be in tact in the Trunks scene (from the clips I've seen, anyway).
So what's the story here, was this the only piece of German replacement music, and was there a reason why?

Isn't that music supposedly used in a porno? Or am I confusing it was something different? I think the only reason it got replaced was that the German producers did not want to pay for the rights to the song and Toei tends to keep the track off the ME track unless the licensor pays for it.

Best porn music ever.

How the hell did they think that was remotely appropriate? :)
