That's pretty cool, but was that how the Japanese version yells Kamehameha at the end? That sounds so...weird.

Yeah. In the japanese version, Goku and Gohan share the same actor (actress, can't remember). Its a high pitch compared to voice the English viewers are used to.

And the japanese voice DOES grow on you...like Vegata's japanese VA (who sounds remarkably better than his english VA counter-part in my opinion)

According to the encyclopedia, the actress who played Goku/Gohan was Masako Nozawa. Personally, I thought her voice matched Goku much better then the American actor, as Goku was a bit of a naive, almost child-like character. At least, that is how he came across in the original Japanese version.

It also helped that I started watching from the middle of Dragonball, when he was still a little kid. The voice dose grow on you.

First off, it's an Interest piece. Learn to read. And yes, I am being a prick because Interest pieces have been running for months, so there's no excuse for people to keep coming into Interest talkbacks and saying this.

Secondly, I really didn't mean for this to start turning into a which language you prefer thing because I think the last thing we need is you know who coming in here and ripping Sean Schemmel and Funimation a new one...again. I'm grateful for the answer by konosuke15, but lets slow down on the which you prefer part. Please.

Haha I've seen this guy before, and this particular video a while ago. I think it's pretty cool he got featured here, speaks about his talent.

Though personally his rendition of the Pokemon Theme is the one I really love. (And the one that brought him to my attention)

Well, at least he can sing the song better than Justin Cook did. That's all i'll say about the dude.

Quote:
The song, "Dragon Soul," was originally performed in Japanese by Takayoshi Tanimoto. The English version has been performed by both Vic Mignogna and Sean Schemmel.


You might want to update this detail & the encyclopedia with adding Justin Cook's version that will be in the 2nd DVD & Blu-ray box set (as FUNi confirmed themselves).

DBZ Kai viewers: each DVD release will have a different singer featured on the opening song. So far has been Sean Schemmel and Justin Cook.

Not as good as Vic Mignogna's version, but better than Sean Schemmel or Justin Cook's.

Frankly, though, my preference is for "Cha-La Head Cha-La".

That's exactly how Goku is intended to come off. Nozawa is brilliant in the role.

You should just ignore him, King... s/he seems to say that in every single interest thread s/he posts in. I think we can classify mario's comments as "troll" now.

As for the video, that was rather impressive, the singing, mixing and video construction work. Dude has talent.

Well... Goku is SUPPOSED to be a naive, child-like character. In fact, that's what he IS. The Japanese voice was hand picked by the director, of course it fits better.

Why would ANN post this? Is Danny Fong a famous web singer, or something?

I usually hate A Capella style music, but this was pretty good!

Yay, I love a cappella. And that was pretty sweet. I shall have to see his other vids now.

I'm probably one of the few people who generally prefers the Japanese dubs (not always, just generally) yet who prefers Kenshin's and Goku's deeper English dubbed voices to their originals. I wanted to blast Goku through the roof whenever I watched DBZ in Japanese, and Kenshin... yeah, I should probably be ashamed to say that I prefer the English dub of Rurouni Kenshin to the Japanese dub, but I'm not. It lives on in my heart forever, that it does. Laughing
