Wasn't Vanilla Ice cool with his name being used? Why did they even say that they would try to contact artists for their permission? It's pretty obvious that they didn't bother.

I don't think any Bamco reps said anything about contacting artists, all that was like officially stated is it would be following the names used by the NA and EU name changes which in and of itself is quite possibly a lie.

I'm not even sure they had Prince's permission to begin with since I think Gold Experience is still getting changed. They might've just got lucky with Soft & Wet.

E: Apparently Vanilla Ice is Cool Ice now which means I have to call him Mr. Cool Ice forever now.

At least Cool Ice is still related to Vanilla Ice, I guess.

For the longest drat time growing up I always thought "dirty deeds and the thunder chief" was the official lyric and was a little disappointed when I was corrected.

The translation for the story segments is actually fine and presents the information as well as it can in that format. They also include Zeppeli's exchange with Dio, Breads and all.

Superior to the original name, in my honest opinion.

Also EWF's name change is lame, where the gently caress is the fire in that name? Did they just play BBS and call it a day?

I love that they changed the first name of Stephen Steel, who isn't technically named after anyone because his last name isn't Stills.

Meanwhile over in Scott Pilgrim, there's a guy named Stephen Stills, and everyone always says his full name.

Stephen might actually just be a mistranslation rather than a name change. That's one an easy mistake to make given how the kana would work, but given what the rest of this translation is (Amazing) it's possibly a name change.

I think it's both. I sincerely doubt Bandai would go to the trouble to contact the original bands for all of the references and wanted to be safer than sorry. So the localizers were probably just told to change all the names and occasionally had some fun while doing it. Some of those are hilariously self-aware.
