JAM Project is well known for the many anime and video game theme songs they have done, both together as a group and individually. In fact, one of JAM Project’s founding members, Hironobu Kageyama, is nicknamed “Mr. DBZ” by fans because he did the most songs for the anime (including the popular Cha-La Head Cha-La).
So, in honor of that, we’re asking fans to tweet us at @FUNimation using the hashtag#JAMprojectTIX and tell us who is your favorite DBZ character! We will pick one random winner from all eligible entries on August 5th. Read complete rules here.
