“Dragon Ball” Theme and Insert Songs Summary [Anime Songs] (21–30)
WE GOTTA POWERKageyama Hironobu
This is the song that was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Dragon Ball Z.
Released in 1993 as Hironobu Kageyama’s 25th single, it’s an irresistible blend of a high-energy melody and powerful vocals.
I bet some of you were belting it out along with the TV back in the day.
Come out with your ultimate, full-throttle power!MANNA
The ending theme of Dragon Ball Z featuring MANNA’s cute singing voice.
It’s notable for the spell-like phrases in the intro and interlude, which are actually the names of staff members involved in the production—read aloud by composer Takeshi Ike, reversed, and mixed in.
It’s an addictive track that draws you in with its floating, dreamy vibe.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAKageyama Hironobu
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA, passionately sung by Hironobu Kageyama, the prince of the anisong world.
Like Makafushigi Adventure, it’s one of those songs people say, “When you think of Dragon Ball, you think of this track.” It features a driving rock sound and an energetic lyrical world.
A classic anisong that fires you up just by listening!
HERO (You’re the Hero)Kageyama Hironobu, YUKA
This is the ending theme song of the movie “Dragon Ball Z: The Strongest Rivals.” Its lyrics are characterized by words of resignation that are then refuted, creating a composition that conveys a quiet yet powerful determination, like a calmly burning fighting spirit.
Forever DreamingCzecho No Republic
Following their work on the Dragon Ball Kai ending, Czecho No Republic also handled the ending theme song for Dragon Ball Super.
As an aside, it seems they hadn’t planned to continue for very long originally, as the band began as a sort of post-breakup exhibition after Veni Vidi Vicious disbanded.
Fight It Out!!Ono Masatoshi
As the title suggests, it’s a rock anthem brimming with overwhelming power and exhilarating speed.
This is the opening theme for the overseas version of Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Majin Buu Saga.
Ono’s signature high-tone vocals explode, embodying with his whole being the strength to push past all limits.
The aggressive guitar riffs and relentless drums weave a sound that stokes the listener’s fighting spirit.
It’s a rock track distilled from a blazing, soul-deep cry—a song made truly for battle.
Mysterious Adventure!Takahashi Hiroki
“Makafushigi Adventure!” is a song that perfectly embodies pure “adventure,” making it an ideal opening for the original Dragon Ball anime.
From the very first bars, its bouncy, captivating sound and Takahashi’s boyish vocals draw listeners into the unknown.
Beloved alongside the anime by countless fans, it continues to shine without fading even today—a truly legendary anime theme song!
