    @REPAIR MAN MAN: You should know that sometimes the voices don’t go with the scenes, like Piccolo for instance, you think he’s gonna say that line when he has no dragonball in his hand? common sense lol

    @EtOmar:

    While I’m a huge fan of Utada – Ayumi is the perfect choice if they wanted a female to sing a heavy rock song which she has proven to be her niche time over time again.

    Wow! First time I knew that DBZ was gonna become a movie I just freaked out! But now, that Ayumi is gonna sing the theme song, it’s even better! All the otakus here in Brazil that have already heard her songs, like them! The notice has just came out here. Let wait people’s reaction! I just think it could be in english, so it would be more accepted by the public.

    @Bernardo Monteiro:
    Because Ayu’s english isnt very good Ayu asked if she would have to sing the song in english.

    The director who is also a fan of Ayumi said since its a Japanese born manga/anime the song should be sung in Japanese!

    he said he wants to hear cool Japanese music!

    WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD!! ARE YOU THINKING OK!!!! HIRONOBU KAGEYAMA SING ALL DB SONGS!!! HE`S THE MAN!!!! WHAT THE HELL! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Weel, even if the song isn’t in english I know that it will be gorgeous. The deepness of her lyrics , as well as the melody of her songs really make her one of the best singers to sing it.
    Even if many people in Brazil think that it won’t be good or that Ayu does’nt fit for the movie, the most part thinks it will be great. All we, fans of her, expect her song to be really shown, not just to be some music on the movie.
