What is the name of the song that plays after the title card on the first episode of Dragon Ball?

With Goku rolling on the log? Well, individual BGM tracks don't really get their own titles, rather 3-4 ~40 second pieces are included in a single audio track, which gets a title. The piece that plays after the title card with Goku on the log comes from the CD track 大荒野 (Dai-Kôya/A Great Wilderness), and was given the widely accepted fan-term "The Rolling Log" by BGM master kenisu3000 in his BGM documentation projects. Hope that answers your question!

Yes, it was the one with Goku rolling on the log. Thanks! :)

I asked because I think it's a very beautiful sounding song with its traditional folk oriental sound and its somberness, a rare gem in Dragon Ball music.

I need to get a Dragon Ball/Z/Kai soundtrack one of these days....
