Nah you're thinking of Kenji Yamamoto. That's the dude that got caught plagiarizing a lot of music. That was for DBZ Kai and some of the Budokai games.

I feel you. Goku going SS for the first, Vegeta being a bad ass, Mystic Gohan. Some of my favorite DBZ moments were ruined by Kai's lame ass music

weebs bitch about any form of localization extensively and its cheaper to just keep the existing music than creating new stuff. Anime isn't really being sold to kids networks much anymore so not much point springing the cash to sanitize it for non-Japanese ears.

I'm not a huge anime guy, but I find it so weird how some rather dark and serious animes have happy pop songs as intros. Like why? It's like having a Beyonce song be in the intro for The Wire or something.

And I wish the Dragon Ball dub kept in the Japanese songs. They're great. In one scene they just have the narrator yakin about nothing over a song.

But on the flip side the epic symphonic dub intro for Zeta Gundam > whatever pop song they we're using. It was catchy, but didn't fit.

This, tbh.

Faulconer's music really transformed that show. I don't think the show becomes nearly as popular in the US if it had kept that weird circus old kung-fu movie music that was the original soundtrack.

Name a good dubbed opening theme (English singer over a Japanese track, Japanese singer singing in English doesn't count)

It's a shame that song has no full release as far as I know. The best that I've heard is a mix on youtube where the OP part and the part from the final ending are at different qualities/volumes.

Too answer the question:

Original Beyblade
Bon Voyage (One Piece)
Hikari-E (One Piece)

Most production groups actually forbid licensors from making or using english covers of their songs in the releases of dubbed anime. For example, in Highschool DxD, there is a song that the main character sings, and it immediately goes from him speaking english, to the japanese voice actor singing it.

Fixed those for you.

Liking something Japanese and hating weebs doesn't make you a hypocrite. There's a difference between liking something Japanese and obsessing over everything Japaneses so much that you shun your own culture like weebs do.
