Booklet Notes

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

   The beginning of the track features the sub-title piece, C3.
   Now, Goku, who has finished his journey searching for the Dragon Balls, becomes a disciple of the Turtle Hermit (a.k.a. the Muten Rōshi, said to be the mightiest martial artist in history), whom he had met earlier. The Turtle Hermit's training is as strict as the rumors say; it starts in early morning with milk delivery, and continues with unusual ideas one after another, like ploughing fields with bare hands. It is in this training under the Turtle Hermit that Kuririn, who will go on to become Goku's lifelong friend, first appears.
   M13 was used from where Kuririn arrives on his boat all the way from Ōrin Temple, and is used as music to express the toughness of all sorts of strict training, as well as as the theme to Yamcha's training by himself in the city.
   Now, M406-2 is a piece written for the second theatrical film, "The Sleeping Princess in Devil Castle", but afterward, it was frequently used as a theme for Kuririn, which is why it is included here.
