 
Episodes 53-61 of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai with the Kenji Yamamoto score in lossless quality (FLAC 16bit to be precise). This is synced to the USBD so I'd recommend syncing this to [Impact's Version](https://nyaa.si/view/1110750).
If you're wondering what makes this different from the [Yamamamoto Revival](https://nyaa.si/view/1202685) aside from it being lossless I've made a few improvements.
1. No peaking: This did require me to lower the volume but this can be fixed by raising the volume in whatever device and/or media player you're using.
2. Restored SFXs: Basically DBKai's English dub uses [5.1 surround sound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.1_surround_sound), and if you want to remove the music you just isolate the center channel. This causes the issue of losing some sound effects though. But [Diccolo on Kanzenshuu](https://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41765) discovered a way to restore most of these remaining SFXs. So I just used the same method as he did for my own project. Now explosions, energy blasts, and offscreen character voices are more in-line with the official version
**FAQs**
**1. What's with the "No Music" and "Music Only" folders?**
If you have a problem with how I did the music but like my restored SFXs then you can use "No Music". If you don't like my restored SFXs don't want to individually place every track back in place, you can use "Music Only" for that.
**2. Why is it stereo and not 5.1 surround sound?**
Restoring the SFXs requires downmixing the front and back tracks into a single stereo track. So I don't really see a reason to make it 5.1 aside from consistency with the rest of the dub.
**3. Can you make a lossy version of this?**
Half the point of this project was to have a lossless version of the Yamamoto score, so no.
**4. Why only episodes 53-61?**
I think putting this out in small batches as opposed to one big batch would be better for everyone. Since there's always the chance I don't finish this project for whatever reasons I'd rather have at least a few episodes of lossless Yamamoto out there than none at all.
Also, thanks to [Kenisu's blog](https://kenisu3000.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-unofficial-dragonball-kai-bgm.html) for helping me on this project. If it weren't for it I would've taken even longer on this project.
