Say what you want about bleach but it's OST has some of the most diverse music collections from Hispanic salsa dancing to techno. And Bleach's soundtrack is regarded by many fans to be the best of the big shonen 3 mangas/anime in 2010. Do you wish DB had better sound track like bleach?

Imagine having this background music above during the zamasu's arc when goku and vegeta were fighting fused zamasu and then trunk's tags in.

I keep hearing praise for the music on Bleach but other than one or two pieces I have not liked it at all.

I love Sagisu Shirou's entire body of work. I would love to see him score for Dragon Ball. There's a lot of really varied styles in Bleach especially. I think he would do a lot to lift up the execution of the series' emotional stakes.

This is my experience exactly, right down to only liking one or two pieces.
I like Shiro Sagisu on Evangelion, but his Bleach work just doesn't leave much of an impression on me.
As for varied styles for a Dragon Ball score? It could work, the music just has to be good.
Just to put it out there, having varied styles of music doesn't automatically make a score good. On the flipside, a score can be so varied that it ceases to have a consistent identity if not handled well.

It sounds cool, but I have to agree with Majin Buu. Having various music styles doesn't make a score better. Nothing about this piece makes me want to hear it in Dragon Ball.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.
I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

I wish that the series used more music from the Hit Song Collections. Before seeing the Japanese version, I heard some of the Japanese music releases (like the Hit Song Collections) and formed this idea that the series conveyed the feeling that those songs did. Turns out, it didn't. But, Kai and Super seem to change it up, even if I am kinda reminded of Faulconer in a weird way.
