OH SON OF A BI--
Ah, whatever. Any video editor can just slip the Yamamoto score back into the episodes anyway. It's not that big of a problem, right?
Forum quote of the moment:

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

What reports? Can you give me a link or two?

YES! I can't wait to buy the set now that I know it's Kikuchi. I'm holding out on buying the earlier sets until they get replaced too.

Thanks. I actually have some clip requests to whoever gets the set, specifically:

Sonny's Dragon Soul
Kokoro no Hane dubbed.

Eh, I feel this board deserves more than just a copy/paste of my thoughts from another board, but since people are looking for info:
G1Ravage wrote:Well, the infamous fifth set has arrived. As expected, we now have the Kikuchi score. Even the menu screen music has been replaced with Kikuchi music.

Sonny Strait sings the new version of Dragon Soul.

The Kikuchi score, as has been discussed, sounds decidedly low-quality compared to everything else. I don't think a new mix was created for it, but someone else with better equipment can probably give a better opinion of it.

The eye-catcher music remains the same. The preview music remains the same. I'm two episodes in, and the dub is as great as ever.
G1Ravage wrote:I'm now four episodes in. I must say, that the Kikuchi pieces used in all of the episodes I've watched so far have fit perfectly. I'm noticing more pieces from early DBZ than I ever heard on the Nicktoons or Toonzai airings.

We finally get to hear the new ending dubbed, and it sounds nice from what I can tell. I never heard much of the Japanese version of the song, so it's hard for me to judge. It appears though that the ending credit footage was edited. The words "DRAGON BALL KAI" that scrolls through the screen has had a "Z" inserted so it reads "DRAGON BALL Z KAI". What a worthless change.

What does everyone think of the newest Kai eps on Nicktoons?
Simian upstart...none surpass me. No one even comes close! BURN THIS INTO YOUR MIND! I am emperor of the universe. The likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet. Or better still...to be crushed...LIKE AN INSECT AT THE WHIM OF YOUR MASTER!

- Freeza, DBZ Kai.

"Revised Kai score". Indeed. Fucking tease. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I wonder how a copy has been delivered so early... I ordered mine from RightStuf ages ago and it hasn't even shipped yet.

I got Part 5 earlier. It's the Blu-ray version so I can't rip anything. Sorry... The most I can do is post lyrics. So, Kokoro no Hane's English lyrics are the following:

You can fly if you spread your wings, just believe and you can do anything
Don't let doubt keep you from seeing the world 'cause you need confidence to soar

You must have courage in your heart to make it through, when times are tough and all you have is you
But if you have some faith, well then you know you won't stay grounded
The passion that you feel inside will give you your wings

You can fly if you spread your wings, just believe and you can do anything
Show the world you have the power within to soar up high upon the wind

Can you check if "Instant Transmission" is kept in?

Does anyone have episode 65 from Nicktoon's site? It seems I missed it.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

I was randomly watching Kai on NickToons.

Saw Vegeta blast the truck behind 18.

DUUUDE! MY TRUUUUUUCK!

That made me chuckle. Reminded me of the ol' days.

Dragon Ball Kai Part Six's cover. It's a great idea...just not very well executed.

A broken link message is hardly a great idea for a Kai cover, much less well executed. I applaud Funimation's attempt at an unique concept though.
