Very grand sounding with a hint of a bit of sadness thrown in but soon builds up into a more adventurous vibe. Very nice.

Here's my favorite Kageyama song - Tobikiri No Saikyou Tai Saikyou

Good old classic Kageyama. The song kinda has a groovy sound (for lack of a better term) in the midst of the rock and roll sound, which I like.

My favorite ending song from the movies: Hero (Kimi Ga HERO)

Has a more electronic synth vibe to it that most Kageyama songs. Very fitting for being used in a movie featuring Metal Robotic Cooler's.

Here's some more Kageyama - Hikari no Will Power

One of my all-time favorite Kageyama songs. Pretty rockin' tune from start to finish. Gotta love that guitar solo at 3:11.

Love that song. Whenever I listen to it, I always think about the tournaments in Dragon Ball, and how much fun they are to watch.

Very ethereal and energetic. A nice song to listen to when you wish to relax and enjoy the music.

Here's one - Wolf Hurricane.

Sounds a little dated, but still a great listen.

Makes Tenshinhan vs. Yamcha an even better fight than it already is. :D

Hmm, even as a hardcore fan of Kikuchi's DB score, that piece is not one that I really care for too much, to be honest. I don't know why. :|

Fantastic organ piece. Even though it was composed for Movie 4, I always associate it with Vegeta's flashback when he explains how he became a Super Saiyan (and to be honest, I think it fits that scene better than its use in Lord Slugg). The way it switches to orchestra toward the end, and wraps up on that horrifying quotation of Slugg's theme has always given me chills.

More original DragonBall BGM: Centipede Of The Future (unofficial title; it was first used in an odd filler scene during the Tao Pai Pai arc)
BGM forever! If only more people paid attention to it... well, I intend to change that.

Sounds like danger is near. It certainly raises the tension in whatever scene it's used in. Good piece overall.

Very nice oriental-sounding piece, with nice atmosphere. Very relaxing.

Interesting how that piece is only used twice in the series (Kame-sennin preparing the Kamehameha in DB Movie 1 and in Z when Goku begins racing Mezu). The piece sounds like it's gearing you up for an action-packed scene. Seems appropriate for both scenes it's used in.

A bit on the lengthy side, but nonetheless a great piece with powerful string work, and a joy to listen to throughout.

A very nostalgic one. Tranquil with a feeling of closure. For me this fits the end of a tale with the setting of the sun.

Wow, love whatever is playing the bass. Is that harpsichord, electric guitar..and Tbone swells? What a cool combo. Very original. The drums have a good feel, love the strings playing the halfstep drone up high.

I have to throw in a comment about the piece before as well, "Noooelll noooeeellll noelll Noeeellll" =D

How about this? (new for me)

Has a somewhat subdued energetic tone to it, like it could do more but not enough was made to do so. It's a very strange composition.

Here's one of my all-time favorites of the Faulconer Productions score. I can never imagine Trunks without this sort of music - Episodic Trunks
