==Form Analysis==
The form of I1 is a simple ABACA form featuring frequent [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence cadences]. F Major chords are marked with I (tonic) and C Major chords are marked with V (dominant).


==Compositional Analysis==
The phrase endings on V are generally [https://www.britannica.com/art/half-cadence half-cadences] (HC); the phrase endings on I are generally perfect [https://www.britannica.com/art/authentic-cadence authentic cadences] (PAC). Part C just alternates between tonic and dominant. A1 and A2 use G Minor (ii) as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predominant_chord predominant] chord, while B uses the subdominant (IV), B♭ Major.

I1 is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Episode 1 which was broadcast on 26 February 1986.

Overview

The full composition is part c of the suite entitled "Shenlong Appears", which is track #11 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.

I1 is a theme of Bulma cheerfully zooming along on her motorbike. Here, it probably gives the image of setting out once again for the next adventure under blue skies, after Shenlong has vanished and the dark clouds have gone away.
Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu

I1 is given the title "Away On The Bike!" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant,[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-17 based on its placement in the series.

Form Analysis

The form of I1 is a simple ABACA form featuring frequent cadences. F Major chords are marked with I (tonic) and C Major chords are marked with V (dominant).

The phrase endings on V are generally half-cadences (HC); the phrase endings on I are generally perfect authentic cadences (PAC). Part C just alternates between tonic and dominant. A1 and A2 use G Minor (ii) as a predominant chord, while B uses the subdominant (IV), B♭ Major.

Part Bars Details
A1 4 two 2-bar phrases; synth melody; HC (I—, ii-V)
A2 4 two 2-bar phrases; PAC (I—, ii-V-I)
B 4 two 2-bar phrases; bassoon joins melody; HC (IV-I, IV-V)
A2 4 A2 is repeated but synth pickup to B is replaced with flute ornament (I, ii-V-I)
C1 4 two 2-bar phrases; banjo melody (I-V, I-V-I)
C2 4 repeat with new piano accompaniment (I-V, I-V-I)
A1' 4 synth melody up an octave from A; new banjo accompaniment; HC (I-ii-V)
A2' 4 melody still high; PAC (I-ii-V-I) (pickup to End goes to V)
End 2 follows woodwind pickup from the last bar of A'; 2nd bar mostly reverb (I)

A2' resolves the piece on a perfect authentic cadence; the ending just reemphasizes the cadence as a short coda.
