[News] "Rule", Dragon Ball movie theme song.

The movie is HIGHLY anticipated, after years and years of the Dragonball craze. And the audience of the movie is the most anime and thus Japanese-loving orientated of all movies. So this movie is absolutely perfect for spreading her music overseas.

The movie has been getting horrible feedback. The fans do not like that this is just another Asian franchise getting the Hollywood treatment to make more money. A lot of people think that this is just another american version of an asian theme that is gonna suck. I don't think I need to name the other asian turned American version that didn't do well. And now Ayumi's name is attached to this one. I hope for Ayumi's sake it is good. There are a lot of things that don't match up with the original Dragonball that we know and it's not looking good right now.

Yeah this movie can't be that good, it will either be not bad/above average or worse than Dead or Alive :Roflmao

Even if this movie is really popular, it'd be hard for Ayu to become popular in the U.S. Another example, Kingdom Hearts and Hikki.

[Bishoujo Ayumi]

Also, lol, suddenly I'm reminded of that Final Fantasy movie with the L'arc~en~Ciel tie-in.

I can't believe what I'm reading.... *in shock*

[Melrose]

@Sundae: Eh. that might be true and all but there really isn't any better or other movie for a song from her?

And yea, I'm quite irked by that Bulmia doesn't have blue hair in the movie.

I think what avex wants to do is have a small fanbase in USA so maybe she can tour or something. Doubt they want her to become huge in the U.S. since she's quite established in Japan and her English skills aren't so polished.

o hai 2 totally unrelated subjectz

I think that the tie-in will only help.. as in Japan people'd buy the release if they liked the song.. that is if a lot of people watch it in Japan. Did a lot of people watch any American adaptations like crazy in Japan? Or have they had a history of flopping?

Hopefully the song is good.

I feel that it's a bit weird that the actors are a mixture of Asian actors and American actors. Anyway. I'm not really a fan of Dragon Ball since I only read 2 mangas but it feels... wrong? I don't really think that DB's fanbase is going to be happy about this... I wonder what Shokotan thinks!

But I'm not disappointed for Ayu. As long as the song is good, I'm fine!

I think Speed Racer did well in Japan, but I'm not sure about horror remakes doing well in Japan... But, anime's really popular in Japan, and since Dragonball is an anime and is still fairly popular over there, I think the movie will do well in Japan.

hehe,

my movie guess was right!

didn;t consider which movie though, I reckon I could have guessed this too if I'd paid more attention to movie news...

movie is looking ptentially poor, but it's still great news for ayu...and us!!!

new song!!!

[njanjayrp]

Like truehappiness said ^^ This can't really reflect on Ayu's career negatively, many others sang theme songs for bigger flops than this movie could turn out to be. I am pretty sure that average people who aren't DB fans will prolly watch the movie, liked it or not, they'll hear the song and the movie will be promoted world wide. I doubt that AVEX wants to make her popular in the US in any way, and I hope they'll release the single with another track in April so hopeful Ayu will benefit from the movie promotion at least a bit.

[minkAYuko]

And this i way tie-ins are not always the answer, all of you who beg for a tie-in, there, now you have one!! don't complain that is for this movie.


anyway, I'm excited about the song.

[Aisha_Angel]

AWESOMENESS!!!!

[TOBEAYU]

It's possible that the movie it will not good... but music could be!! And this is a perfect promotion for AYU's music internationally so I'm glad ^_^

[emi♡]

omg what's wrong with people.

Do you guys know that just about everyone is going to see this movie? I mean come on, even the people who hate the fact that they're doing it are going to see it just to say they did, even if theyre going to bash it later.

I don't care if the movie is horse ****. People all over the world are going to hear this song and think about Ayu, even if they don't know who she is.

I'm waiting to see how good the song is first, before I start feeling bad that she has a tie-in.

And I mean, Ayu is a total nobody in the states. Hollywood would never ever give her a better tie in, I'm sorry.

[ayumi_cute]

OMG this is cool...
Song for the america dragon ball movie???
Just wondering would that be english song or japanese song?
This is great...
