'''M201''' is the [[Shunsuke Kikuchi catalogue|Kanzenshuu catalogue number]] assigned to a piece of background music (BGM) composed by [[Shunsuke Kikuchi]] for [[Dragon Ball Movie 1|''Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenlong'']]. The film premiered at ''Toei Manga Matsuri'' on '''20 December 1986'''.

==Overview==
M201 is a very atypical composition among [[Shunsuke Kikuchi]]'s ''Dragon Ball'' works. It is very loosely centered on C, the dominant of F Minor—the film's main key—but the piece is largely atonal and employs a composition technique known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialism serialism]. The full composition is part ''a'' of the suite entitled "[[The Legend of Shenlong]]", which is track #2 on disc #5 of the ''[[Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu]]''.

K-201 is given the title "Legend Of The DragonBalls" on ''kenisu's Magicant'',<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://kenisu.webs.com/dragonballbgm.htm|Website=The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant|Title="The DragonBall BGM Daizenshuu"|Date=11 June 2008|AccessDate=30 June 2019}}</ref> the most common source for fan titles of [[Shunsuke Kikuchi|Kikuchi]]'s compositions.

Kikuchi uses something very close to a strict [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-tone_technique Twelve-tone technique] in the composition of M201. Not counting the two introductory bars (a ''Jaws''-like motive resolving on C), only one note repeats before all twelve tones are used. Two voices alternate in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(music) canon] at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone tritone], the dissonant interval that divides an octave into perfect halves.

*Base voice (''dux''): D♭-C-D-E♭-B-B♭-A
*Treble voice (''comes''): G-F♯-G♯-A-F-E-E♭
*Interval pattern: 1 (-½) 2 (+1) 3 (+½) 4 (-2) 5 (-½) 6 (-½) 7

The A in the treble voice is the first note that repeats, following the 10th unique tone (G♯). F is the 11th unique tone, and E is the 12th; then E♭ is another repeat. As standard in a canon, these two voices are identical; one of them is merely transposed up a tritone.

This pattern repeats four and a half times before the ending, which contains all the elements of C7, the dominant 7th chord in the key of F Minor. The most prominent elements are the C and B♭ (1 and 7 in the C7 chord), but the third (E) can be heard in the background instruments, primarily violin and glockenspiel.

The ending of M201 indeed functions as a dominant leading into the title card music, [[M202]], which is a "[[Mystical Adventure!]]" reference in F Minor.
