YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view, and share video clips. In fact, you can even join Kanzentai on YouTube. Since its inception in 2005, YouTube has seen billions of videos uploaded onto the internet for the world to see. Though with so many videos, some get lost in the clutter, specifically anything DragonBall related. So to prevent this, we'll be spotlighting one DragonBall related video from YouTube on Kanzentai every week. Some of the videos you may have already seen, though I hope we can find some you haven't.

Spotlight #011 Viva la DragonBall Z (France)Week of January 4, 2009
This special treat comes to us all the way from France. It was, as you've probably already figured out, the French opening for DragonBall Z, as sung by Arriane. Unfortunately there's not much else to say about this one, except... Enjoy! ^_^
In 2000, "What's My Destiny DragonBall" (aka DragonBall Z) began airing on Italia One in homes throughout Italy. Like many countries that dubbed the series, it was given a brand new opening theme. So, in all it's glory, we present the Italian opening for "What's My Destiny DragonBall".
In December 2008, FUNimation released their first DragonBall GT series boxset, and along with it came a new dubbed opening. This version was sung by Vic Mignogna, the voice actor of Brolli in the English dub, and is surprisingly easy to listen to, as it follows fairly close to the original Japanese lyrics.
Fans were shocked in mid-2008 to hear that a new DragonBall special was being made for the Jump Super Anime Tour, celebrating Jumps 40th anniversary. In addition, a newly animated version of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA was used in the special. Be sure to check out this page for a comparison of the two different versions of the opening.
In May 2007, Nakagawa Shoko (a famous Japanese idol) released a cover of DragonBall's ending theme, Romantikku Ageru Yo (I'll Give You Romance). Luckily for us, she also made a music video to promote the new single, which contains scenes straight from the ending animation.
This time, we're bringing our spotlight back over to the states. Japan wasn't the only country to get a release for Burst Limit, and they weren't the only ones to get cool commercials for it either. Check out the commercial that mirrors my life... Kamehameha!
Both the "Dragon Box Z Vol. 1" and "Dragon Box GT" releases came with some older commercials as bonus material, but neither included any from the DragonBall series. So, we went searching and found a few DragonBall commercials to share with you! Can someone buy me that Muscle Tower?
I laugh every time I watch these two Japanese Burst Limit commercials for the PS3. Whoever had to choose these kids did an outstanding job! The voices, as they appear in order, are... First commercial: Goku, Nappa, & Vegeta. Second commercial: Goku, Freeza, & Piccolo.
I couldn't pass up the chance to showcase some of TeamFourStar's material, and with it being Halloween, now seemed like the perfect time. So, follow along as Dr. Brief shows us around Capsule Corp. for the DragonBall Z Halloween '08 party!
Nozawa Masako makes an appearance on a Japanese TV show. The look on everyone's faces when she walks out is absolutely priceless. As always, she performs a Kamehameha, but also gives some advice about being a seiyuu. She even discusses her most famous line; "Ossu! Ora Gokuu da!"
Who doesn't enjoy a little "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" sung by Kageyama Hironobu live? Be careful, you might just find yourself clapping along with Goku and Gohan in the background. I wonder if there's anywhere you can buy those costumes?
