Re: So it seems we're getting a new ED after all

Post by Gaffer Tape » Fri Apr 16, 2010 4:01 pm

Well, I'm glad it's the ending and not the opening, as the ending seems slightly less entrenched to Dragon Ball Kai as Dragon Soul does. But still, I like Yeah! Break! Care! Break! and will be sad to see it go. Plus, I just made myself a CD of every Dragon Ball-related theme, and I knew as soon as I did that, they'd bring out some new Kai song! Bleh... :evil:

What does "ED" even mean? Why do people use this abbreviation?

EnDing?

Yes, it is an abbreviation for "ending". They use it because it is easier, and because it has two syllables, so they use the first to two letters of the two syllables.

I'm hoping for better songs than "Dragon Soul" and "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!". I mean, they've grown on me a little, but they're definitely not great DBZ songs.

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Oh, those are definitely among my favorites though!
I wonder if this new song will be able to beat the awesomeness that is YBCB!.
I'm going to take so many screenshots of the new animation. Assuming we'll be getting them!

Agreed. A song by JAM Project or Psychic Lover would've been much better in my opinion.

Re: Possible New OP/ED (New ED Confirmed For Ep. 55)

This seems a little weird of a mixture to me, moe-type music and Dragon Ball (and it makes me want to hunt down that one photoshopped image I saw a while back)....but I look forward to new animation. I'll give the new ED a chance.

Personally, if we get a new opening theme at some point, I want to hear Hironobu Kageyama sing. (I can understand if Kai doesn't want to use him because they're trying to distance Kai from Z, but I'd still like to hear him.)

Damn, no new OP? At least give us all new animation for "Dragon Soul". Can't wait to hear the new ED theme.

The ending might look like this:

Damn, fortunately this group is making music for kids, but I really don't have any sympathy or taste in nowadays Japanese mainstream. YUK!

Weren't we all doubting Takayoshi Tanimoto in the beginning too? Those songs turned out just fine.
I'm gonna wait with the bashing/praising until I hear the actual song.

Yeah, but at least Takayoshi Tanimoto isn't an idol.

Wait people had no issue with "Believe" in One Piece right? Wasn't that sung by a bunch of J-pop "OMG SO KAWAII" girls?

Some things are predictable..... This will be one of those things where I will post one simple message on this board:
''I said that!''

If that track will hit me with a little sympathy, and I'm not optimistic because for example I don't like popular ''Yabure Kabure''
and I'm disgusted with Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku,
I'll stop smoking for a week.

Where are the days of songs for example like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhjpsGS9hUM

Are we at the age of teenage girly pop s**ts?? Yeah, this track from Hokuto No Ken can be considered as popish also, depending on the time's trends where in 80's there was popular rock. Rock is quite technical type of music, to play on drums and guitars. I can play drums and it's not something you will come, sit and play, you must learn that also nor speaking about guitar. But nowadays trendy music? Everything is simple to produce, with no originality. I can produce you something like that in five minutes, maybe I will also make a video on youtube to document that.

Little edited quote from Hamlet: ''Something is rotten in the field of Mainstream''

Also you said that Tanimoto was doubted but did well. You mustn't forget that it's not Tanimoto who composed music, that's Iwasaki Takafumi. Kyouda Seiichi did the final arrangement we all hear in opening and Yoshimoto Yumi wrote the lyrics.
Only thing for which should be Tanimoto Takayoshi praised or hated is his voice, that's all, he's only performing what someone will write for him. That's the reality.
As a musician, I don't appreciate this people, because I see them only as performers.

That's actually my least-favorite opening.

.... No...?
I'm not insane over her, but she's fairly popular, and not that bad an actress/singer.

If there's no way to avoid "moeblob shit" in Dragon Ball, Hirano would probably be our best bet at a half-decent song.
