Dragon Ball Z Music

From Kanzenshuu Dragon Ball Wiki

This page contains a list of all the music used in the original soundtrack (OST) of the Dragon Ball Z anime. Most of the music is composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi. The opening and ending songs, "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" and "Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power!", are composed by Chiho Kiyo’oka and arranged by Kenji Yamamoto. The composers of insert songs are noted on the episodes where they are used.

Episode Tables

The chronological K-numbers are from the Kanzenshuu catalogue of Kikuchi's background music (BGM). The catalogue numbers preceded by letters other than "K" are official catalogue numbers, typically found in booklets accompanying BGM releases. The documentation and scene descriptions are adapted from The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant.[1]
