There aren't any japanese people in the original Dragonball - everyone's chinese, alien, or european, so.
Takeshi Kaneshiro would be cool for DBZ Goku, but not DB Goku - in Dragonball, Goku's a little kid. (Making him high school age for this movie makes sense from a filmmaking/marketability standpoint, but that whole "innocence" part of the storyline had to die for it to happen.)
I think, regardless of its accuracy to the original manga, it looks like it's gonna be a fun movie, and that's all it's supposed to be anyway, so. Seriously, I wish more people would give it the benefit of the doubt - they're knocking a movie they haven't even seen yet and I don't get that at all.
I went to see a production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" once, and it had a queen instead of a king. The woman's audition was so good that they rewrote the play so it was a queen. It was a FANTASTIC production of the play, with one character cast "wrong". Maybe Justin Chatwin just did such a good job auditioning that they made him a white kid instead of asian? You don't know.

is that so? I think there are many things wrong with this movie, we are not in 1994 and if you go and watch the trailers for
Street Fighter and
Mortal kombat, you won't see much difference, except obviously the CG, forget is Dragon Ball for a moment and it just looks like another martial arts movie.
Also I don't fall for C.G. at all, I want substance, just like that movie cloverfield? it looked really cool, but the story and everything else was so awful.
anyway, the collaboration probably won't do much for ayu, since there's still people who think that japanese is such a horrible language that it needs to be change to english in order to be good or praise or to succeed, I hope this move by ayu opens some minds about it, at least for the ones who go and see the movie.
PS: I was never excited about this movie, now I'm just excited for ayu's song, I'd love to listen to ayu in my country, if someone buys me the ticket I'll go =P, and I give the benefit of doubt! sure it looks good but is not dragonball so far.
