Booklet Notes
These notes were included with the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu compact disc release.
The Turtle Hermit, the funky old man who wears a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses, is the mightiest martial artist in history, and later becomes Goku's mentor. This track was compiled with that image in mind.
J17-B, the second piece included in this track, was used as the most popular of the Turtle Hermit–themed pieces in the show. Even in his debut scene, J17-B is the backdrop as he intones, "Once upon a time, there lived a man named Urashima...".
J17A, which is included first, is an uptempo version of J17-B, but as the Turtle Hermit has many perverted or silly scenes, it was inevitably used less often. The final piece [K-63] is a theme of stealth, which is an area where the lecherous Turtle Hermit really excels; it is used with the image of things like peeping, as well as the awkward mood when he gets caught.
