Booklet Notes

These notes were included with the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu compact disc release.

      (Uses, in part, "Mystical Adventure!" composed by Takeshi Ike)
   The Dragon Balls, which were long thought to be mere legend, have a nature shrouded almost entirely in mystery; about all we know is that God made them, and there are seven of them. The path Goku & co. followed on their journey in search of them was definitely not an easy one.
   The initial piece, A7, was probably included with the image in mind of Goku running in search of a Dragon Ball? In the show, it was used as a light and happy variation on a pursuit theme.
   The following piece [K-27] is properly the theme of Great King Pilaf's palace towering in the desert, but here, it is probably being used in a sense of the divine. The third piece is G13, which was used (among others) in scenes where Goku & co. push ahead into a den of evil. Then, the mystery reaches its climax, and this track reaches the peak of its tension. Finally, D1 is a piece brimming with uncertainty and tension over not knowing what lies ahead.
