I19 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 3 which was broadcast on 12 March 1986.
Overview
I19 contains a short reference to the opening song (OP) "Mystical Adventure" composed by Takeshi Ike. The full composition is part d of the suite entitled "The Wild Boy", which is track #13 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.
The final piece, I19, was often used in big action scenes where Goku was powering merrily along.
— Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu (2:13d)
I19 is given the title "Goku Fights Fearlessly" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant,[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-37 based on its placement in the series.
Form and Analysis
I19 begins in the key of F Major, but it transitions to the relative minor (D Minor) for a reference to the OP in the middle of the piece. After this reference, it returns to F Major, but then transitions back to D Minor for the ending. The only authentic cadences in the piece are in D Minor, so it is classified as being in the key of D Minor.[a]
| Part | Bars | Details |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 4 | F Major; antedecent + consequent (I-ii-V-I) |
| A2 | 4 | transition to D Minor (vi—, V-V/vi) |
| B | 6 | OP reference + HC back toward F Major (vi—, V) |
| A1' | 6 | + active trombone line; each phrase extended by one bar (I-ii-V-I) |
| A2' | 4 | + trumpets and piano/marimba scales (vi—, V-V/vi) |
| C | 2 | D Minor ending (vi) |
HC stands for half-cadence.

Notes
- ↑ Normally, just the fact that it ends in D Minor is enough to classify it in D Minor, but we have broken this rule in several places across the wiki to avoid confusion.
