Am I the only one who doesn't find Head Cha La that great?

I've gotten used to it, but it is without a doubt my least favorite piece of DB music barring any dub replacement scores. The Cell arc should have used a new OP.

EDIT: Actually, y'know what, Dragon Soul is worse, if only because I was hoping Kai could give that portion of the series a really great OP and it's honestly not that much better. Kai - where don't you disappoint?

I'm kinda surprised at this thread. I like Head Cha La a lot actually. We're talking about THE Japanese DBZ theme song right?!

I agree with you here, haha. It's an inspiring, adventurous, early Dragon Ball song. I do agree it's been overused; but, I do like it. Although I will say I like the German instrumental better than the original Japanese one.

Cha-La's a good song--but I don't much care for it as an opening. Both the song and the opening animation seem far too slow for Dragon Ball.

You're all on my list.

Every. Single. One of you.

I got Horikawa to do a shout out for ya. That cancels me out.

Oh, I like it! I just know how some may not like the song. I actually did not like the song before I began listening to the DaizEx Podcast, about three years ago!

I definitely love the song, but to be honest, I'm a little tired of hearing it. Also, I prefer Hiroki Takahashi over Hironobu Kageyama.

We didn't.

But I really love Hiroki Takahashi in Power of a Dreamer for that video game Dragon Ball: Tenkaichi Dai Boken, might be one of my top 3 if not number 1 for an intro.

I love it. It has that youthful spirit of adventure to it. I take it as a song that reflects Gohan and the world he's come into, but also Goku as an adult still being childlike in many ways.

I have similar feelings about "Zenkai Powaa", which definitely comes from a Gohan perspective.

Compared to that, "Dragon Soul", while more appropriate for all periods of the show, seems a bit too modern and plain, especially in composition. And "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!" is just plain wrong for a DB show (though I still enjoy it somewhat on its own).

Youthful spirit of adventure!

I'm not seeing the disparency.

Sometimes you get your neck broken in high-spirited, youthful adventures.

I enjoy it, but I always thought We Gotta Power was superior. It's just got that infectous, enthusiastic energy.

I also prefer We Gotta Power and Dragon Soul over Cha La Head Cha La.

I just want to know why the dinosaur is trying to learn how to ride a ball. There are many more efficient means of transportation.

Dragon Ball Z would not be the same for me without Cha La
