~The Moon Represents my Heart~ - Influenced any DB music?

Post by caejones » Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:01 pm

So, there is this well-known Chinese song by Teresa Teng: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv_cEeDlop0
Having watched DB before hearing it, it very quickly reminded me of music from the anime, particularly somewhere around the Red Ribbon arc.
(Specifically, see the intro and about 1:30 in).

Is there a particular song in the DB soundtrack that this is at all similar to? I know that Toriyama based a lot of designs from early DB on Chinese, and a lot of the Kikuchi score has very apparent Chinese influences.

If there is a song (or two) in DB with a noticeably similar sound, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to what episode(s) it's played in.

Thanks.
I do hear a similarity in the beginning. :)
I want to think there's something even more similar out there... I think I should just rewatch that part of the series. XD

Wow. That song really sounds like it could be from Dragon Ball. That's a really cool find! :D

It honestly reminds me more of Doraemon's BGM than Dragon Ball's. Though, Doraemon's BGM was also composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi...
