Oh f.uck this post so hard. (much love for you otherwise though)
The Japanese OST was flat out GARBAGE for the most part. (outside of the iconic chala head chala and we gotta power intros)
They were slow paced, out of sync with the action, flat out boring, and they all sounded the same. They may have used instruments but it sounded like compositions from low rent 60s kung fu movies. They fit ok for Dragon Ball, but not at all for Dragon Ball Z.
They fit for the context only? Bullshit. I can listen to the entirety of Faulconer's soundtrack on my phone and not even be thinking about Dragon Ball Z at all. I listen to his tracks for how awesome they sound
Truly, DBZ would have been a much lesser experience in the states if not for his iconic, and highly varied soundtrack.
Yeah, I have zero respect for the Japanese OST. None.

Even minor characters like Nail got great attention paid to for his theme, matching up perfectly with his personality. This shit is so ethereal.
