Get some english speaking group - not a top 20 Name, someone whose sound is similar and is small enough to be hireable as the voices for the characters all the time - and make aall new music for it.

And the fans would be demanding the studio's heads on a platter.

Funimation did this with DBZ, and irritated many DBZ fans. TOKYOPOP is raking Initial D over the coals with this (not that the original music was any good to boot) and people hate them for it.

I would say that if it can't be done as it was originally (or at least as original as possible), then it shouldn't be done at all. Swapping out the original music for redone stuff will just piss the fans off.
