Favorite vocal song?

Post by crackmentos » Fri Sep 12, 2008 1:49 am

Just what the title says: What's your favorite vocal song from Dragon Ball/Z/GT? It can be any song, whether or not it was actually featured in the anime/movies/specials/etc.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of "Vegeta-sama no O-ryouri Jigoku!! ~Okonomiyaki no Kan~" because besides being such a wonderfully silly song, it's also a joy to hear Ryo Horikawa sing as Vegeta.
why so serious?

It's really very hard.

EDIT- But seriously, there's three I always seem to get stuck on: We Gotta Power, Blue Velvet and Aitsu No Son Goku. Then of course there's Piccolo-San Daisuki ^^

It's a tie between "Power of Smile" and "FOR EVER". Other big favs are "Joshiki Nante NA*I*SA", "Chosenjo", "Tobidase! Hero", "Kino no Yume, Kyo no Hikari", and "10,000,000,000 Friends". 8)

I'm not super-familiar with some of the ones from the movies and such. So I'll go with Unmei no Hi.

Good choices, especially that last one.


I have hard time choosing one, usually I go through phases of listening to a few a bunch of times and then I'll switch it up after a while. Favorites have always been (in no particular order):


We Were Angels
Joke-Gurai Iwasero Yo
THIS IS LIFE!
Good-Bye Mr. Loneliness ~Hikari no Kanata e~
Saraba Namida Yo
Kinô no Yume, Kyô no Hikari --Sairento Naito - Môningu Mûn--
Perfume No. 18
Growin’ Up Itsuka Mata Aeru Hi Made
DAN DAN
Don't You See!
Hitorijanai


There are way more though, DB has some great music.

This is kinda difficult, but I think I have to go with either "DAN DAN" or "Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai!!"

Let's see...

I guess I can narrow it down to 2 songs, one from Dragonball and one from GT (I'm sure now you know what it is).

My favorite vocal song from Dragonball has to be the untitled song that was used first in Dragonball movie 2 (when the hordes of demons first emerge), then in episode 81 and lastly in DBZ episode 27. It was included in the 5 CD Daizenshuu set (disc 5, track 3, piece 4) and that has been it's only release. This song also has a instrumental version that when used is only used in cases that do not pertain to demon related people (unlike the vocal version which I like better). It is one of the more dramatic songs in the series and it perfectly personifies the right feel whenever it is used.

You can listen to it here (the third and final time it was used): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNqoQTi963U

My other favorite vocal song in the series is Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku of course! It really brings forth a lot of happy feelings inside of me that I associate with the wonder of Dragonball. The song was performed by Field of View and was one of the first out-of-house songs to be used in the series. The montage that it was played for in episode 64 of GT is so perfectly fitting that it makes it one of the most deeply emotional moments in the entire series...for me at least.

You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05p_x66I78A

So there you have it. My two favorite vocal songs out of the entire Dragonball anime series and movies is Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku and the un-named BGM track used in the demons emerge scene in Dragonball movie 2!

Mine are sheer nostalgia picks: Detekoi Tobikiri ZENKAI Pawâ! (the imagery is just precious), I-KU-SA, Hikari no Tabi (the opening orchestration gives it an epic, sweeping feel) and Chôsenjô.

Spirit vs Spirit, or whatever the Japanese name is if it's different. Also Sabitsuita Machine Gun and Dan Dan; GT had some good songs.
