Kuririn & Tenshinhan theme songs?

Post by Piccolo Daimao » Sat Jan 29, 2011 5:07 pm

Do Kuririn and Tenshinhan have any theme songs? I'm asking this because I've heard theme songs for Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Yamcha, etc., but I've never heard ones for Kuririn and Tenshinhan. If they are, where are they and could you link me to them?

Mayumi Tanaka performed (as Kuririn) "Ichido wa Kekkon Shitai Manbo" ("The I-Want-to-Get-Married-For-Once Mambo"), which originally appeared on DBZ Hit Song Collection 8 - Characters Special 2. It's all about... well... Kuririn wanting to get married.

One that people forget about that she also did was "HIPPY HOPPY SHAKE", which first appeared on DBZ Hit Song Collection 17 - Hippy Hoppy Shake!!. I haven't really dug into the lyrics on this one, but it's just a funky tune :).

That's pretty much all you're going to get for those two. Hikaru Midorikawa is a big-time voice actor and performer that's done his own stuff (though I'm pretty sure he's done in-character songs for other series...), so I wouldn't expect him to do any in-character Tenshinhan songs. I don't think any other image songs are ABOUT him, either.

She also sings Asa - Hiru - Yoru - Kimi - Boku as Kulilin. Though, Hippy Hoppy Shake!! isn't sung by Kulilin; Mayumi Tanaka just happens to sing it. ...Unless it's actually a typo.

Thanks, guys. :)

For some reason, I find "Ichido wa Kekkon Shitai Manbo" cringeworthy to listen to. :? And I am a bit surprised that Tenshinhan doesn't have a theme song, when other characters do (even Chaozu).

I have heard the Kai song Win Tough Fight! is supposed to be Kuririn's theme but I'm not sure.

Apparently, it counts as his theme song.

Oh, that song. I guess that might work. It's been seven years since I've seen that movie, though.

Winning a tough fight would be the last thing Kuririn would do. :P
That theme is for Nappa.
