The "Hit Song Collection" series contains a variety of music that can generally be classified into one or more of the following categories:

• Opening Theme: a song used as the opening music to a specific television series or film(s)
• Ending Theme: a song used as the ending music to a specific television series or film(s)
• Insert Song: a song used within the content of a specific television series episode(s) or film(s), but not as the opening or ending theme
• Image Song: a song that is not directly from the respective television series or films, but is generally produced by the same groups of composers, arrangers, and performers, and may touch upon some of the same underlying themes as the other songs included
• Character Song: a song that is performed by one of the regular voice actors or actresses from the respective television series or films; a character song may simultaneously also be either an image song or an insert song

The first "Dragon Ball Z Hit Song Collection" contains the first opening and ending themes to the Dragon Ball Z television series, the in-character insert song from the first theatrical Dragon Ball Z film, the insert song from episode 20 of the Dragon Ball Z television series, and six additional image songs.
