Details
Yoshii composed the music for "Chōzetsu Dynamic!", while its lyrics were penned by Yukinojo Mori, who has written numerous songs for the Dragon Ball series.[2] The song was recorded in Los Angeles with American musicians Alain Johannes, Chris Chaney and Josh Freese.[1] "Chōzetsu Dynamic!" was used as the opening theme song for the first 76 episodes of Dragon Ball Super.
The single also includes a cover of "Romantic Ageru yo", the closing theme of the original Dragon Ball anime, instrumental versions of these two songs, and an English-language version of the title track.[1] Yoshii's The Yellow Monkey bandmate, Hideaki Kikuchi, performs guitar on "Romantic Ageru yo".[3]
The limited edition of the single, which has a slightly different cover, comes with a DVD that includes the music videos for "Chōzetsu Dynamic!" and his previous single "Clear", as well as two versions of the video for "(Everybody is) Like a Starlight".[1][3]
