A concept I want to explore in this story is the � musical � aspect of Dragon Ball. To give
a feeling or mood to the characters, each one will be briefly described the first time
he/she is met. The Z senshi are already well known so they will be presented as soon
as they appear. A new character will be described only when the Z senshi learn his/her
name and affiliation. In each description will be a line called � Theme song: � and a
song name will be given. Songs come from the animated series, movies, video games, as well as
a few other sources (like Konami's Castlevania/Demon Castle Dracula series).
However, you�ll have to find the songs yourselves. I will not provide them. A DB song with an
� * � next to the name means that you shouldn't care about the song�s lyrics since they make no
sense or have no link with the character the song is given to. Songs with an � * � are given to
characters because their beat and overall feeling match the mood and feel of the character.
Songs without an � * � mean that the lyrics can be of interest if you can understand at least
some Japanese. Now remember, music is unnecessary to read and understand the
story. It just helps to understand the character and temper of people in it. If you don�t like
or do not want to listen to DB or other suggested songs, then forget about that whole idea and
concentrate on the text.
