Chozetsu Dynamic! Dragon Ball Super Opening 1 - Dragon Ball Opening Songs Series

Excuse me, Dragon Ball in general, any of the anime except Kai, 'cause Dragon Ball Kai is not for me.

So, um, uh, Makafushigi Adventure, I did that one back in 2022, 'cause I've been running this podcast for a long time 'cause I'm very old.

Um, I did not do Cha-La Head-Cha-La, although I do have all the music picked out for it.

Uh, We Gotta Power, Dan Dan Kokoro, and then the openings for Dragon Ball Super, uh, Chouzetsu Dynamic, which is what we're gonna be talking about today, and then the second opening, uh, Limit Break X Survivor.

Uh, but we all know, you know, what that feeling was when we first watched the anime and we all heard this song.

[upbeat music] So I talk about it a little bit, uh, in the Makafushigi Adventure episode, but talk about the idea of songs being iconic to a series, um, instantly recognizable, something that you automatically associate with, uh, certain visuals.

And, um, I think this song very much fits the bill for Dragon Ball Super, especially early Dragon Ball Super, like that first half.

Um, I will make the argument that Limit Break X Survivor is actually the more iconic of the two songs, but that is not a discussion for right now.

Um, I do want to just read to you a little bit of information about this song and the artists, um, uh, from the wiki pages.

Uh, I promise this won't just be a wiki dump.

I just want to, you know, give a little bit of background to start it off.

Uh, so this song is from Kazuya Yoshi or Yoshi Kazuya is probably how I'd say that if I wasn't reading it from fucking Wikipedia, right? Uh, Chouzetsu Dynamic stands for Excellent Dynamic.

Uh, it's the 14th single, yeah, I care about that, released on October 7th, 2015.

Uh, so a few months after this one, we got the, the full single.

Um, for the Japanese version and English version, uh, which is something that I, I do like to, um, to point out here, he sings both versions.

You know, I didn't think people had the type of balls to do things like that unless your name was Hironobu Kageyama.

But apparently Yoshi Kazuya also does this as well with an English version.

Um, just a couple of details before we play that English version and kinda walk through.

Um, Yoshi composed the music for Chouzetsu Dynamic while its lyrics were penned by Yoko Noguchi Mori, who has written numerous songs for the Dragon Ball franchise.

Huh, I wonder which ones he's written.

So Mori penned the lyrics to several songs used in Dragon Ball Z, including its opening themes Cha-La Head-Cha-La and We Gotta Power, and its second ending theme, Bokutachi wa Tenshi Datta, which, uh, that's the We Were Angels song.

Angel, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Fucking also iconic.

This man has written lots of lyrics for very perfect songs, and then he's got his fingerprints all over modern-day Dragon Ball.

Um, he wrote the lyrics for the opening theme song for Dragon Ball Kai, wrote the lyrics for the Fukatsu no F film, uh, which I do wonder if that's Maximum The Hormone.
