Booklet Notes
These notes were included with the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu compact disc release.
The path that Goku & co. tread allows a glimpse of various kinds of scenery. M10, which comes first, is a piece used not so much for "wilderness" as for scenes with the image of the vast ocean; it really gives a grand sense of scale. Also, this piece is used in some striking scenes where Goku, riding on Kinto'un, looks down over the sprawling lands from above.
H1 is a piece with the feeling of morning in the wilderness. H3 is a piece with the image of the serene landscape of China, where Goku lived [sic];[a] it was used in the opening narration of the first episode, where it matched well with the scenery in the style of Chinese ink paintings.[b]
Lastly, H4 was made with the image of a Chinese sunset, and the emotional tune is evocative of evening in the vastness of China. With that in mind, this track ends with a piece that gives a sense of the end to a full day (more or less) of adventuring.

Notes
- ↑ The implication that Goku actually lived in China is also present in the Japanese.
- ↑ The "scenery in the style of Chinese ink paintings" is the setting of H4 in Episode 1, not H3, which begins with scenery of a waterfall and a rainbow done in a normal anime style. However, H3 does accompany Chinese-style paintings in the beginning of Episode 5.
