[MAD] “F” Maximum the Hormone × DRAGON BALL Z [Re-upload]

The theme song of Dragon Ball.

It repeatedly chants “Frieza, Frieza,” and it’s a track that makes anyone think of Dragon Ball.

However, at first it was performed without obtaining permission from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball.

Later, it was adopted as the official theme song for Dragon Ball and became an authorized Dragon Ball track.

Pride Revolution / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

A full-throttle track with powerful lyrics that stand out against a fast-paced rock number.

“Pride Kakumei” was released in 2015 as CHiCO with HoneyWorks’ third single and served as the opening theme for the third season of the anime Gintama.

The lyrics convey the protagonist’s resolve to fight in order to protect “you,” the person who gave them courage during difficult times.

You can also feel their gratitude—the sense that they can become stronger for the sake of someone precious.

Enjoy listening along with the exhilarating band sound!
