*** For Doki!, they used [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEIjeTrbvO0 a song by JQT]. Heck, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qJX4uZ-4Gw it even has a full version].
** The Italian dub [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExoqMg8Q3Xg did this too.]
* Basically any anime that is dubbed in Italy will have this.

* The Fox Kids version of ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'' has a different [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ZXbrqPjKM opening]. that replaces the original stirring love song with blandly generic "adventure music"
