==Booklet Notes==
These notes were included with the ''[[Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu]]'' compact disc release.
{{Quotation|   Now then, the ones who appeared as the villains of early ''Dragon Ball'' were the [[Pilaf Gang]]. [[Pilaf]], who is driven by his plot to become "King of the World", is collecting the [[Dragon Balls]] with his lackeys. Because of that, he gets entangled with [[Goku]] & co., and their relative incompetence means that they often end up as comic relief.<br>   '''J5''' is the theme of Pilaf's minions, [[Shuu]] and [[Mai]], but in spite of them being an evil group bent on world domination, it ends up as a comical piece. Here, '''H11''', which was also included in Track 9, "Strong Ambition", reappears, but this time we believe it was to give the image of Pilaf's palace in the middle of the desert; in fact, it was actually used in that sort of scene. Then lastly, it becomes a comedic chase with Goku & co.; the theme for this is '''I4'''.
}}
It is unclear why they refer to [[K-53]] as "H11"; it bears no real resemblance to [[H11]]. K-53 does have a companion track, though: [[K-120]], a short unreleased track. Sometimes K-53 is referred to as "H11 version 2".
