Best Intro Music For Dragonball-Dragonball Z/kai- DBGT

Post by TheGmGoken » Tue May 07, 2013 9:52 pm

In my opinion Dragonball series had one of the best intro music in anime history. But as with everything there could be only q number 1. I'll list them out for you to listen to them in. The languages will be Spanish(Latin America dub), English, Jap, Korean, and German. I'll divide it by language sections. English dub will only get 1 version of Dragon Soul

Jap:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHq4hyNnKJM - WE GOTTA POWER German
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adJ5EcLvnhw - Dragon soul - German fandub as I could't find a german opening. I think they used the jap opening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH2bQ3pbCJk - DAN DAN German
-----------------------------------------
Spanish Latin America Dub:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPSO5RbgZDQ - Makfushi Spanish
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc5vPDaOmhI - CHA LA HEAD CHA LA - Spanish Latin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSXvLClCu0Q - WE GOTTA POWER
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4jZ04cjhUM - DAN DAN Spanish
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxoqMOgXuII - Dragon Soul Spanish


All of these are amazing. Well not really but I won't talk about the bad just about the good. I'll ranked my opinon.
1. Tie between English and Jap version of Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku Zard
2. Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku Zard German version
3. Makfushi Spanish version
4. Korean Buu saga opening
5. ROCK THE DRAGON

Let's face it Dan Dan Kohoro Hikareteku Zard is the best opening in the Dragonball Franchise. The spanish version of Makufushi is nice and smooth. I'm not a big fan of WE GOTTA POWER and the Korean version of the intro was nice and fun and reminds me of the good times of Dragonball rather then the non-stop action. Rock the dragon always gets me pumped about dragonball. If you want to mention any other dub intro music. You may post it. I know I said you only have an option of the ones I chose but I know not everyone going to like what I like so please. Express your honest opinion.

We Gotta Power. Gets me pumped each time. I Makafushigi and Head Cha la are too easy of choices. 8)

I'll put Dan Dan as my second since it's just a really catchy song; despite it's very unfitting lyrics.

"THAN me". Not "then me".

"Head-Cha-La". The end. OK, maybe I'll give "We Gotta Power" a mention...

You know, I used to be head-over-heels about "Head-Cha-La", but nowadays I find myself liking "We Gotta Power" more. I think I just prefer it more for the kickass guitar solo in the middle.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

For me, it goes:

1st place - "Cha-La Head Cha-La".

2nd Place - "Get that DragonBall" - The first US opening theme for DragonBall. Corny? Yes. But, I think it's really the only time some effort was put into an original English opening theme song for the series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnYYepoUbkk

3rd Place - "What is my Destiny: DragonBall" - This was the name of the Italian version of DBZ. Another original foreign opening theme, this one seemed to keep the same spirit and feeling of what DragonBall was all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvjXvj_VvS4

4th Place - "We Gotta Power" - Hearing this song reminds me of summer in the 90's. :D

I'll agree to that list for the Japanese counterpart, but Latin Spanish:

[DB] La Fantástica Aventura > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1XuGBToQfM
[DBK] Alma de Dragón > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-HPZkhRsR8
[DBGT] Mi Corazón Encantado > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO1d_LWudIg

This one alone is my top favourite (LFA - Makafushigi), but JurikAnisonLatino have easily the best Dragon Ball music covers in Spanish. If I ever had the chance to meet Cesar Franco personally I'd like to take a photo and an autograph, of course this is very unlikely of ever happening.

Makafushigi Adventure for TV opening themes; so easy.

(Super Survivor is the best song overall)
