B2-A is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) arranged by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Episode 2 which was broadcast on 05 March 1986.

Overview

B2-A is a Kikuchi arrangement of the ending song "Romantic Ageru Yo" composed by Takeshi Ike. The full composition is part b of the suite entitled "Sexy Gal Bulma", which is track #04 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.

B2-A is given the title "Bulma Is Happy" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant, the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-26 based on its placement in the series.

Form and Analysis

B2-A directly adapts one verse of "Romantic Ageru Yo" and the first part of bridge section that leads to the chorus.

Part	Bars	Details
A1	8	verse part 1; antecedent phrase (I—) + consequent phrase (ii-V)
A2	8	verse part 2; antecedent (I—) + consequent (ii-V-I)
B	8	bridge (V/vi-vi, V/V-V)

The piece ends on the dominant, just before the original song changes to a V⁺ chord that leads into the next part of the bridge.
