Zedd's Comment:
"I can’t believe I was even considered to produce music for Dragon Ball. I’ve been a huge fan since I was a kid, and I never imagined that a day would come when I’d get to be involved with such an iconic series. Writing the theme song and score has been a dream come true. It feels like a dream to be able to create music for something I’ve loved since childhood."

Yukinojo Mori's Comment:
"Thanks to Dragon Ball, I've been able to push the limits of my lyrics multiple times. However, I secretly feared whether my words could keep up with Goku, who has become stronger over the years (laughs). But as expected of Toriyama-sensei! With DAIMA, he's slightly shifted the focus from 'battles' to 'adventure,' leading us to an exciting new journey. When you're feeling down and your heart feels small, remember the friends from DAIMA and hum this fanfare that we created with Zedd and C&K. May it give you the courage to take your next step."

"I thought it was some kind of prank. My honest reaction was, 'Are we really the right fit for such a huge role?'"

KEEN's Comment (from C&K):
"When we received the offer to be part of Dragon Ball, which I’ve loved since childhood, my heart was filled with excitement! I’m looking forward to seeing how the new Dragon Ball DAIMA will become an inspiring masterpiece for both kids and adults. I’m so proud that artists like us were given the opportunity to be involved!"
