"A Creeping Unease" is a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Yūya Mori for the Super Dragon Ball Heroes Promotional Anime anime in 2018. The piece debuted in Episode 1 on 01 July 2018, and it is track #08 on the Super Dragon Ball Heroes Promotional Anime: Original Soundtrack released digitally in Japan on 18 December 2020.

Overview

"A Creeping Unease" is in C Minor but the C whole-tone scale is used for color within the piece, and it ends on an augmented triad (C+). The piece was assigned the catalogue number M-102 based on its placement in the series.

Compositional Analysis

The piece begins with a two-bar introduction of a piano ostinato—a G2 on the first and third beats—and atmospheric synth sounds.

After these first two bars, more sounds are introduced in an 8-bar section, including a mallet-vibe synth sound, violins and something like a sitar.

The final section consists of 8 bars of violin and synth melodic material, and then a 2-bar outro when tremolo strings playing the C+ chord.
