Japanese rock band Good Morning America (no relation to the American television show of the same name) is contributing their song “Haikei, Zarathustra” (Dear Zarathustra) as the new ending theme of the anime series Dragon Ball Kai.
The anime will return with the Majin Buu Saga on April 6, and the song’s single will go on sale on May 6. There will be three versions: limited first edition A with the song “Kassai” and a DVD of selected live performances from Good Morning America’s “Shinogi Au” project, limited first edition B with the song “Melody” and the bonus track “Hashire! Fire Radio!!”, and the regular edition with “Kassai” and the karaoke versions of both songs.
Dragon Ball Z Kai (known as just Dragon Ball Kai in Japan) condenses the 1989-1996 Dragon Ball Z anime series to more closely follow Akira Toriyama‘s Dragon Ball manga. The series features digital high-definition remastering, a re-recorded soundtrack, and select scenes updated with new effects or re-animated footage. The 2009-2011 run of Dragon Ball Z Kai covered from the Saiyan Saga to the Android Cell Saga.
