Listening to this now is just different, before it was heartwarming/beautiful, but now after toriyama’s passing, it makes me feel saddened. I remember somewhat looking forward to it, but because of DBS broly, I didn’t know if it would do well, but now, we all know it was a success, even if it had little promotion/advertising. It still feels unreal that he’s gone, even though most if not all of us never knew him personally, he created this, he was responsible for our childhoods, from seeing goku facing the demon king, to the saiyans, to a space tyrant and unlocking a legendary form, to gohan going ssj2, you name it, dbz inspired/motivated us, it’s even the sole reason I had a huge interest in working out in any way. Even some of the musics, whether if it was from Bruce faulconer or the original Japanese composers (Kikuchi for example) helped me go through my worse days (better than just reposting some quote on any social media apps or something). And for that, I owe my thanks to toriyama, thank you for making my best childhood experience, hopefully you have fun with meeting and training with king Kai.
