Why No Subtitles On Cartoon Network?

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Why is it that in the CN version of "The Dead Zone" or "The Worlds Strongest", the subtitles are removed from the song that is playing in Japanese?

I'am not mad or anything, just curious as to why its done.

[lost in thought]

I don't think it's widely known why, and I would imagine its impossible to guess their motives. I could imagine though, that they just decided that the current demographic [which seemed to hit squarely between 10, and 15] may be dissiniterested in knowing what the song meant, outside the scope of it being in Japanese- and that fact alone making it a trivial novelty to the young viewers.
However thats just my opinion, and I could be wrong. At that though, I am still glad Cartoon Network aired the movies when they did, or fans of the series would more than likely be shit out of luck for the first three films, until they're re-released, since the Pioneer dvd/vhs' aren't all that easy to track down.

Edit:
Note... There used to be [and still are a few around, who aren't exposed to the infinite wisdom of Daizenshuu Ex.] children who didn't know DragonBall Z was Japanese at all, let alone care, so I could imagine this might weigh on a FUNimation decision.

The video for "The World's Strongest" dub didn't have subtitles anyway, unless you had a tv with closed captions. Then they would pop up.
