Where is this from?!

veshira · Post by **veshira** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 1:52 am

I was looking through old Dragonball sites, when I came across a good ol' midi. Many of these songs are farmiliar to me (and probably to a lot of you), but there's this one song in particular that's so farmiliar to me, yet I can't place where it's from or what it is. It's driving me crazy.

If you follow the link to this site, it's listed as "Song 16." You don't even have to download it if you're on Internet Explorer or another web browser that allows you to buffer midis right on the browser.

Please help.

Isn't that one of the themes from the Butouden games? A podcast had that song on it when talking about music and they played a clip of that.

I think it was Trunks. I'm not 100% sure.

Trunks' them from Super Butoden 2. There's a place that lets you download the tracks, but I doubt I'm allowed to post it.

EDIT, since I'm crazy. Help me out, since I'm kind of lost myself on some of these myself:

1.
2. Makufushigiwhatever Adventure, I think.
3. We Are Angels
4.
5. We Gotta Power
6. Don't You See
7. Hitorijanai
8. Dan Dan Kokoro whatevertheheckitis
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14. Tapion's flute theme
15.
16.
17. I want to say Gohan's whistling from movie 4 but I'm not sure.
18. Yamasui Iro No Sen Tsuchi from Final Bout. I think Goku's theme but I'm not sure.
19. Hero of Heroes, SSj4 Goku's theme from Final Bout.
20. I think from Final Bout
21. From Final Bout
22. Hikari no Willpower, Trunks' theme. Could be from GT or Final Bout

The first one is the theme for Dragon Ball Z in another language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItoveIjYUs0 This is where it comes from. o.o

Really bad song that doesn't even fit the scenes chosen. >__>;

4 = CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
7 = Hitorijanai
8 = DAN DAN Kokoro Hikareteku
14 = Tapion's Flute
22 = Hikari no Will Power

Everything else seems to be just video game music and possibly vocal songs from the soundtracks. o.o

Wow, that's the same exact tune as the French opening theme.

But that's not the French opening theme.

Man, you're all making me want to list the ones I know, but now the site's down and I can't listen to the clips.

Maybe later.

I think that's the trend around the 80's (or whenever these dubs were made.) Because they did the EXACT same thing with the french Bioman dubs.

Ah, the French.

Well, here are the songs as I know them (without looking up spellings):

1. French Dragon Ball Z Theme Song
2. Makaufushigi Adventure / Mystical Adventure
3. Boku-tachi wa Tenshi Datta / We Were Angels
4. CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA
5. WE GOTTA POWER
6. Don't You See!
7. Hitori Janai / You're Not Alone
8. DAN DAN Kokoro Hikarete'ku / "DAN DAN" (slow version)
9. [Don't know]
10. [Don't know; farmiliar; video game theme?]
11. Son Goku's Theme?
12. Opening to... RAYEARTH!

"Crismon something..." Slow version.
13. [Nadda]
14. Tapion's Theme

15. [Farmiliar; a game intro?]
16. [Had no idea, until this topic.

Thanks guys.]
17. Gohan's Whistling Image Song, without Piccolo's screaming.
18. [Farmiliar; video game theme?]
19. Hero of Heroes - SSJ4 Goku's Theme from Dragonball GT Final Bout
20. Golden Oozaru Bebi Vegeta's Theme from Final Bout?

21. [Farmiliar; video game theme?]
22. Hikari no WILL POWER - Mirai no Trunks' Theme from Final Bout

I'm going to check my Final Bout game and see if I can come up with anymore. It's been years since I've played that game. How many, I don't know, but I haven't played it since my brother got a PS2 when it came out. (I think I'll be stealing his old PS1 should.

)

Recruited Meri for some of these (namely the Ranma ones).

#09: It's a Ranma song ("Equal Romance")
#10: Another Ranma song ("Little Date")
#11: Not sure... but it certainly sounds familiar...
#13: Ranma OVA song ("Ballad of Ranma & Akane")
#15: We think this is the Hyper Dimension character select screen?
#16: Trunks' theme from Super Butoden 2 after the slow piano intro
#18: "Yamabuki-Iro no Senshi" from Final Bout
#20: Indeed Golden-Oozaru Bebi-Vegeta music from Final Bout; if I remember correctly, it's not his STAGE music, but the music played on the screen where it shows his character profile right before the fight

I don't think 15 is the Hyper Dimension music (or if it is, it must be some sort of remix.) I think this is something from one of the SNES games, but I'm not positive on which one it is.

EDIT: Scratch that. Isn't that the Ultimate Battle 22 music?

I'll check one of my multiple copies of Ultimate Battle 22.

I think the first half of the midi is before his stage, and the second half is his stage music. But I'm just going by memory, and I only remember the first half of the song.

Thank you and Meri for the Ranma songs. I'd have never figured them out since I had never seen the show. Ahhh, old Dragonball Z sites.

[edit]
Song 15 is not the Ultimate Battle 22 opening theme or the Ultimate Battle 27 theme, but I'll go through some of the stages and see if I can find it.

Off-topic: In the Ultimate Battle 27 video, Goku and Vegeta fuse with the Potara earrings. . . into Gogeta.

I'm sure this isn't the first time that someone, even me, has noticed this, but wow.

The video showing all the extra characters? I don't think those are the earrings. I think it's just a spark occuring to show the two are fusing together. It just happens to be in an awkward position.

Ah, now that I rewatched it, you're right. It's a sparkle where the earrings should be. Damn sparkle, being all confusing like that.
