Rocking out to Dan Dan=guaranteed to put you in a good mood

[Kakarot88]

Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku...don't care what language it is in, the song rocks my face and heightens my emotions. Even if you don't like GT you cannot help but love this song! Seriously check this play list out and tell me you didn't smile like the whole time. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... fTMzryJamS nope ya can't do it can you!?

The Spanish tracks are truly exceptional, but enough about what I think, I wanna know what y'all think! Any fellow Dan Dan fans out there? What do y'all think, love, hate about the other renditions in other languages?


I found it while doing some of my bar prep courses and just cannot get enough! (oh look a humble brag, no not really just giving context on why I found the vid so inspirational, and why I've been so MIA, miss being on here and reading all the discussion feel like I'm missing out lol, but seriously this playlist is actually making studying fun, I know weird)

Enjoy!

I've always preferred the lyrics in this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPDP3S4dYcY

Indeed, a very grand and nostalgia inducing song. I love this one a lot. Sung by Son Goku's voice actor who voiced him through Z and the few parts in GT that were not cut.

[El Diabeetus]

I like most of the versions, but I've never really liked the Blue Water one, or the Latino version (at least the original recording, guy sounds monotone. Much prefer the cover versions by Ceaser Franco, Adrian Barba/Ricardo Silva, etc).

The FUNimation version sounds a lot better when you switch the instrumental to the original one:

Like the German version from the Goku Jr. special a lot.

Such a disgrace that they didn't use this for the TV series.

"It's a desperate search all across the universe" dang that is awesome!

Wow! JUST WOW! I love the totally different lingual sound while maintaining the heart of Dan Dan, that is an incredibly nostalgia inducing device indeed; but that first sentence (not sure the musical term) and rythm is so uniquely German! I love the pacing it totally works and gives a great twist on a song I love!

No contest that rendition makes Funimation's version sound way better!

Regarding the Spanish version...Really! lol augh man I love the Spanish version (well at least the second track in the youtube video I posted) because it sounds so I dunno genuine or like someone really into it and not just a studio let me collect my pay check. The guy sounds like he really wants to be the one to hit the lyrics it has so much heart to me. It feels more homemade and less commercial.


Augh wow thanks y'all!! This song is just so internationally pleasing it is a truly amazing composition that makes me happy ...if only GT had been as good

[TheGmGoken]

Yes! I do homework and work out listing to the Korean version. I love it. It's always makes me smile. I used to listen to the original one before I fell asleep. Brings out a great mood,

[El Diabeetus]

As far as Spanish versions go, this is my favorite. A duet between Adrian Barba (We Gotta Power's Latino singer) and Ricardo Silva (Cha La Head Cha La's). So pretty much a 'Latino Kageyama-esque version' is the best way I can put it:

This Korean version is good as well, the other one sounds cheap in my opinion:

Also a Multilanguage one to get a feel for how most of the dubs sound!

I love this version too. Even though the lyrics aren't exactly faithful to the original Dan Dan, it's a very beautiful love song.
The same singer (whose name is Momo Cortés according to the cast list) sung the ending too, and it's arguably even better.

GT DRAGON BALL GT GUERREIRO!
Besides the Japanese and the 2 portuguese versions (one sung by Goten and the other by Omega Shenron xD) I love the Chile one and both the German versions. The Chile one specially is so calm to hear.

Two versions? Could you give us a link to both? I've only listened to one.

The one sung by Goten is the most popular one as it's the TV-series one. The other one was from the TV special, it's not even on Youtube. I might upload it later and post a link here.

I'd like to hear it. Are the lyrics the same or is it more faithful to the original one?

They are not the same but they aren't faithful eitrher, think of it as a continuation of the first version.

The German version of Dan Dan has always been a favorite of mine. Specifically, I like the singer's voice and different rendition of the instrumental track. Probably my favorite version of Dan Dan next to the original itself.

[SSJ3_Zack]

I love Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku. It's my favourite DragonBall song along with Makafushigi Adventure, Mezase Tenkaichi and With a Burning Heart: Defeat the Red Ribbon Army. It sounds great no matter what language it is sung in . I've started to listen to these two versions recently.

Also the Blue Water Dub version is extremely nostalgic to me. I used to remember eagerly awaiting each episode of GT to air on Toonami in the UK. Hell I liked GT a lot more than I did DBZ back then lol.

Dan Dan is a terrible song and I do not care for it.

The German GT opening is good, though.

Lol I feel like you and I have very different tastes in the Dragon Ball franchise, you don't like Nozawa or Dan Dan...what may I ask do you like or I guess, more on topic, what do you find terrible about Dan Dan? Is it the lyrics or the overall instrumental?
Obviously, I personally find it uplifting and very much the essence of Dragon Ball with its peppy rythms and overall just happy go lucky no worries vibes.

Spanish version: OH HECK YES!! That was awesome, I loved the duet, it was a nice rendition.
The Korean version was good but not one of my favorites, it def had the passion.
I LOVED THAT MULTILANGUAGE Video!! That was so cool! I had no idea that Dragon Ball GT was as large internationally! Thank you

They are not the same but they aren't faithful eitrher, think of it as a continuation of the first version.

That was awesome!! It totally felt like an intense sequel I listened to them back to back and speechless lol; I'm amassing quite the Dan Dan playlist for myself lol thank you

The German version of Dan Dan has always been a favorite of mine. Specifically, I like the singer's voice and different rendition of the instrumental track. Probably my favorite version of Dan Dan next to the original itself.

Oh yeah that German one keeps coming back and really resonating with me; there something about how the German language is so commanding that I feel inspired when he hits the second verse...the more I hear it the more I'm like "YEAH!"

[Rocketman]

the essence of Dragon Ball

The essence of Dragonball is not a shitty pop song about falling in love with somebody else's girlfriend.
