Songs that sound quite similar to Dragon Ball songs (That are NOT outright ripoffs)

I was listening to this song from the Japanese version of Samurai Pizza Cats. And its remarkably similar to Romantic Ageru Yo. And that's because they are both composed by Takeshi Ike.

The song is To Be Yourself from the Kyatto Ninden Teyande OST.

BTW I am asking people not to bring up outright ripoffs like anything from Yamamoto.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

What about if a song was ONLY arranged by Yamamoto, and composed by someone else instead? Does that count for this thread?

The DBZ OP/ED themes for #001-#199 are examples of that.

You have to mention another song from another franchise or media that is similar. Not just two within Dragon Ball itself.
