M10 is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) composed 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

The full composition is part a of the suite entitled "The Great Wilderness", which is track 07 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.

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.
— Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu (2:7a)

M10 is given the title "Panoramic Scenery" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant, the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-38 based on its placement in the series.

Form and Analysis

M10 is in a slow compound quadruple meter at about 60 beats per minute (BPM).

Part	Bars	Details
A1	4	trumpet melody; antedecent + consequent HC (I-vi, IV-V)
A2	4	antedecent + consequent PAC (I-vi, VI-V-I)
B	4	violin melody; antecedent + consequent HC (IV-I, IV-I-V)
A2'	4	violins/flute join original melody; bassoon countermelody PAC (I-vi, VI-V-I)

HC stands for half-cadence (ending on V) and PAC stands for perfect authentic cadence (ending on V-I, root position chords, tonic in soprano voice, approached step-wise).
