Dragon Ball Z NEP Theme

Post by Ryuman » Tue Dec 11, 2012 1:16 pm

This might be a silly thing to open a topic about, but was there ever a full version to the first next episode preview theme for Z? If there is, what collection is it in (If any)? I suppose this could also go for the other NEP's as well.

Sorry, but I just think it's way better than the instrumental :lol:

They must have made it to the full length of the song, because in episode 118 (the first episode of the Trunks arc), you can hear more of it in the scene where Gohan dreams of his father returning to Earth... it still gets cut off prematurely, though.

And no, it's not on CD. :( From what I understand, something happened to the master for that one (it got lost or something?), leaving them with a low-quality mono copy of the recording, and that's why they had to use that weird imitation version on the CDs. IIRC, it was kei17 who told me about that, too, and he seems to have insider knowledge about this kind of stuff (though I'm not sure where he gets it all), so yeah.
BGM forever! If only more people paid attention to it... well, I intend to change that.

See that episode is the exact reason I'm looking for it. Toei sure likes to lose things, huh?

Yes, that's what I was referring to.
