Okay, for those of you who are unaware, everyone's favorite hunk of burnin' love has now graced Dragon Ball Kai with his presence.

Takeshi Kusao is still Trunks' voice actor in Japanese, and Anime News Network lists Eric Vale for the English voice actor (which is also confirmed by the man himself. I took the liberty of messaging him on Facebook about it months ago).

Dragon Ball Kai has also made it to America. The First 13 episodes were released to DVD uncut, and there's also an edited TV broadcast on the Nicktoons network on satellite and digital cable for now. In the fall, the CW (formerly WB) will be broadcasting Dragon Ball Z Kai on their Saturday morning kids' block, so for those of you who do not get the Nicktoons Network and do not feel like shelling out $30 for 13 episodes of Dragon Ball Kai (Yeah, not kidding... Ugh), Just be patient!

Now, back to more Trunks news. Trunks appears at the very end of episode 55 "あれが地球だよパパ…フリーザ親子の逆襲" (Translation: That's Earth, Papa! Freeza and his Father's Counter Attack) And with this episode, comes a brand new ending theme called "Kokoro no Hane" (translation: Wings of the Heart) sung by Team Dragon, a group composed of members of the female Idol group, AKB48. The single will be released on July 21st (That'll be the 19th here in the states), and there will be 11 different versions of the single:

Regular Edition
Team Dragon Version (Regular Edition)
Team Dragon Version (Limited Edition)
Minami Takahashi Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Haruba Kojima Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Yuko Oshima Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Tomomi Itano Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Asuko Maeda Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Yuki Kashiwagi Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Mayu Watanaba Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)
Original Miracle Card Battle Version (w/ DVD, Limited Edition)

The regular editions will be priced at about ¥1260, or about $13 USD, while the Limited Editions will be priced at ¥1524, or about $16.50 USD.

I'm rather amused they chose THIS song for our bishounen, sword-wielding, time-traveling hero... but, hey, we can't win them all.

Also, with Trunks' appearance in the series comes new BGM tracks, and I hoping that soon information about Dragon Ball Kai OST Vol. 3 will be released.

This weekend's episode (Episode 62) will be Trunks' reappearance in the series when he comes back the 2nd time, which I am looking very much forward to. I'll post again as soon as more news from Japan comes up. :3

That female idol group is also one of the attending musical guests for Anime Expo 2010 this July. Unfortunately, I can't attend their concert as I'm leading the Dragon Ball Universe gathering that day before Kyle Hebert (Gohan, narrator for Z, etc) has his panel. But if anyone's going to AX from this group, that's the info I have about them. =3 More info is on AX's official site, obviously.
