K-215 is the Kanzenshuu catalogue number assigned to an unreleased piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenlong. The film premiered at Toei Manga Matsuri on 20 December 1986.

Overview

K-215's descending chromatic pattern might be described as a reimagining of K-20, which was written to accompany a similar, parallel scene in Dragon Ball Episode 1 where Goku and Bulma fall after Goku defeats the Pteranodon. Here, they fall after being shot down by Pasta, though they did manage to damage Pasta and Vongo's airplane first. In both scenes, Goku saves Bulma with his Nyoi-Bō, and she wets herself as she hangs from a cliff. (The latter scene is accompanied by K-21 in episode 1 and K-216 in movie 1.)

K-215 is given the title "Free-Falling" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant,^[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions.

 ==Overview==
-K-215 is in the key of F Minor, but it ends on an augmented triad (C<sup>+</sup>).
+K-215's descending chromatic pattern might be described as a reimagining of [[K-20]], which was written to accompany a similar, parallel scene in [[Dragon Ball Episode 1]] where [[Goku]] and [[Bulma]] fall after Goku defeats the [[Pteranodon]]. Here, they fall after being shot down by [[Pasta]], though they did manage to damage Pasta and [[Vongo]]'s airplane first. In both scenes, Goku saves Bulma with his ''[[Nyoi-Bō]]'', and she wets herself as she hangs from a cliff. (The latter scene is accompanied by [[K-21]] in episode 1 and [[K-216]] in movie 1.)
-This BGM is frequently split into two separate tracks, and they are entitled "Free-Falling" and "Goku In The River-Bulma Wets Herself" on ''The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant'',<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://kenisu.webs.com/dragonballbgm.htm|Website=The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant|Title="The DragonBall BGM Daizenshuu"|Date=11 June 2008|AccessDate=30 June 2019}}</ref> the most common source for fan titles of [[Shunsuke Kikuchi|Kikuchi]]'s compositions. A brief missing beat between the two sections of K-215 might contribute to the separation. Without an official release, it is impossible to determine whether they were composed as separate BGM or as one; however, since Kikuchi composed film scores to scene, they were almost certainly meant to be used consecutively, and the flow of composition reflects this fact in this particular case.

-K-215 accompanies scenes mirroring similar scenes in [[Dragon Ball Episode 1]] which were accompanied by [[K-20]] and [[K-21]]. The beginning of K-215 is similar to K-20, which also ends on an augmented chord; both feature a descending chromatic pattern.
