K-726 is the Kanzenshuu catalogue number assigned to an unreleased piece of background music (BGM) arranged by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball Z anime in 1989. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Z Episode 1 which was broadcast on 26 April 1989.

Overview

K-726 is an instrumental version of the opening song (OP) CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA using the song's karaoke track. It is similar to M701, which was never used in full; instead, this shorter version is used as the Next Episode Preview (NEP) music.

K-726 is the fifth BGM in Dragon Ball Z that is based on "CHA-LA". Unlike most BGM in that group, it is in the original key of E Major. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-726 based on its placement in the series. Though it is the twentieth BGM in Dragon Ball Z, it is the twenty-sixth BGM debuting after Dragon Ball Movie 3.

M701 is track #6 on disc #5 of the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu and track #1 on disc #2 of the Dragon Ball Z BGM Collection. A shortened version of this track is included as part c of the suite entitled "Farewell, Warriors", which is track #18 on disc #4 of the Daizenshuu and track #7 on disc #2 of the BGM Collection. This shortened version is closer to K-726, but it is a different recording. Aside from the cuts, the differences are subtle: the melodic synth is a different sound, the melody is played a bit less straight, etc.
