DBZ had some good background music so I was kind of happy when they added them to DBZKai (although it did not fit very well with such fast pacing).
The only Zeta Gundam theme I remember is the one used in every single fist fight scene. And the Japanese songs were never shown in English releases due to copyright issues.

I love the Pocket Monsters BGM. Even if it's just remixes from the game, Miyazaki does a great job bringing them to life outside the game. I prefer the anime versions of a lot of the game's music because of that. Hakutai Woods: Game VS Anime

Does Yoko Takahashi get any royalties from it? She's technically the one that brought C.A.T. to life

They couldn't use the songs in North American releases without ponying up tons of money, due to Neil Sedaka composing the music, but at least Animax Asia's English-subtitled broadcast had the original OP/ED themes. The subtitles themselves weren't up to R1 standards, though.

J-music is dying though. According to consumers, J-music isn't worth the price:
"A month after download law, consumers spending less on music: survey"
- Since the law came into effect, there have certainly been some changes, and many Internet users have become reluctant to click that download button for fear of receiving a hefty fine, meaning that the law has been a success in a way.
According to a recent statistical survey, however, since the law was passed, sales of music in Japan have continued to fall and consumers are actually showing less interest in music than ever before.
Is this the effect of the new download restrictions? Has Japan’s new draconian law actually had a negative effect on music sales? Or has the Japanese government simply noticed that music sales continue to fall and mistakenly pinpointed illegal downloads as the cause?
It’s interesting to see that, although one or two people suggest that the tough new law has put them off buying new music, the vast majority of responses suggest that – just maybe – the reason music sales have fallen so much recently is due to a general lack of interest and that new albums are simply not particularly good value for money.
It would seem that the public’s perception of the music industry has changed, and that fewer and fewer people are willing to invest their hard-earned cash in music that they simply use to fill the silence rather than sit and listen to for pleasure.
Perhaps the enormous rise in illegal downloads is a sign that people are interested enough in music to take it for free, but not so in love with what’s on offer that they’d willingly pay the asking price. There seems to be a general vibe on Japanese online message boards that, with the option to download removed, few people are interested in today’s music enough to pay, and so would rather not bother entirely.
