Next: Dragon Ball: Xenoverse - Destroyed Planet Namek
For what is supposed to be the theme of "destroyed planet Namek" it feels more upbeat/battle energetic than it should, it lacks the sense of dread and running out of time that was present at that moment in the story.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Pretty good track, but it sounds like video game music, and not befitting of Bardock in the slightest...

A very brash, guitar heavy but also rocking and exciting theme that adds a certain intensity to the battle.

While it sounds good, the added special sound effects take away the "mystic" aspect of the original Tapion theme that consisted solely of an ocarina song.

Not as good as the original version, but an okay cover overall. Vic Mignogna's vocals shine above the instrumental track.

That guy has excelent covers FULL of freaking energy, that cover is no different, I always liked the animetal versions of the dragon ball songs but I think this one sincerely tops them completely. Especially since We gotta power is already such a hugely energetic song.

Much like you said, full of energy (genki perhaps?). A very good power metal cover of GT's opening theme. His vocals aren't perfect in that cover in my opinion, but they're still very good and they work for the style of music being used.

What a crazy track!. The percussion is damn savage at the beginning, even a bit tribal and then it evolves into this amazing 90's rock mess I love it! I did not know of this track, then again I never played this game, it kinda sounds like megaman X! I love it so much because I'm a total Megaman X Nut.

I got a new workout music!

This "sad" cover doesn´t flow really well considering the upbeat theme & rythm that the original song has, it makes the translation somewhat janky.

He needs a bit more power behind his voice, but otherwise, that's a good rendition of Dan Dan. The Goku x Chi-Chi scenes were nice to watch too.

Love it. Not even kiddin', it gives off a dreamy and beautiful vibe. The soft tone is very playful. It reminds me of two characters. Bulma and (strangely) Amy from Sonic. Next Song - Kiseki no Big Fight

BIG FIGHT! One of my favorite movie ending songs. As is characteristic of many Kageyama songs, it's genki/full of energy, gets you pumped up, and puts you in a good mood.

Really enjoyed the speed on this, extremely catchy. Seems like it is Kageyama's fastest song? I like it.

Quirky intro leading into the spacy and catchy main part of the song. Both Tricky Shirai and KŪKO do an excellent job singing along with the 1970s disco instrumental track. It's a fun track overall. I also like how the end of the song transitions into the next song on that album, Cosmic Chinese Melody.

I've been listening to the Hit Song Collection albums quite a bit lately, so let's do another song from those albums...

Man, the Hit Song Collection albums have a lot of great music, and this song is no exception. It has such a great "funky" feeling to it, I absolutely love it.

I'm sure you didn't mean to post a link to a version of the song with crude lyrics in it, so I found a different link with only the instrumentals in it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDIj3qMaQFw

It's a pretty relaxing song. Perhaps a bit bland in it's composition, but otherwise, it's a nice song that's fitting for walking around West City (I've actually never played the game, but I assume that's what you do at that part).

It's all right, but the opening is the best part by unfortunately pretty far. The beeping that comes in later is a bit repetitive (and annoying), but I personally like the track.

It reminds me of something you'd hear from Immediate Music or some other epic trailer music. The vocals are good as is the instrumental track. The synthesizer(?) bit at the 56 second mark is an interesting touch as well. Overall, a pretty decent track.

Energetic track that I could see fitting a few different locations. The tune that keeps going in the background is a nice touch. 1:21 is almost the definition of Budokai music.

One of my favorite songs from Budokai Tenkaichi 2. The keyboard melodies are nice and airy, the drums are catchy, and the "voice" gives the song a good oriental feel. It's a unique sounding song in a good way.
