Dragon Ball Z: Budokai

Video game composer Kenji Yamamoto copied three songs from the album with minor changes. The songs "Hunting High and Low", "Glory to the World", and "Infinity" can be heard with minor changes but not performed by nor with consent of the band. In 2011, Toei Animation released an official statement claiming that Yamamoto may have infringed on copyrights and subsequently re-released the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series with new music.
