A Symphony For Akira Toriyama | By Gladius

A LITTLE BIT OF MY STORY:
Now that I've had time to stop crying, I've been thinking about why I feel the way I did and still do about Akira Toriyama's masterpiece, Dragon Ball. And honestly, it's hard to put into words. I don't know exactly what happened in my childhood that created the perfect conditions for me to discover Dragon Ball and be so captivated by its story. I suppose I found some kind of refuge in it; seeing the legend of the Super Saiyan come true showed me the potential of transformation in the face of all that is hopeless.
In my adult life, when I needed it the most, it came back to me, through the music. Four years ago I had a psychosis, at 28 years old. My mind was on the verge of coming apart, and I thought I was going to lose my grip on reality all together. I was in Egypt at the time, 10000 miles away from home. Earlier I had cached the DBZ Soundtrack on my Spotify, and I played SSJ Transformation from Faulconer Productions off my phone while I was in the shower, feeling like the demons were coming for me. In my head, it was like I was standing on an island, staring down Frieza, and the only way to move forward was to transform. It helped me, maybe even saved me from this darkness that was emerging within me.
Having thought about it immensely since then, I believe that stories live inside us, we model ourselves after them and they guide our own story. When I was afflicted by my psychosis, my ability to recognize patterns increased dramatically, as well as my creativity. At best, it was like I had super powers, but at worst I was a paranoid wreck. A battle had begun in my psyche, and I was almost lost. But the foundation of who I am: watching DBZ when I was a kid; for a moment like that, I couldn't have asked for a better story to guide me out of the dark and into the light. There truly is so much heart in Dragon Ball, and it seems that thank you will never be enough for what Toriyama created.
He taught me through Gohan, that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself when you fail, and just because you've stepped away from what you're good at for a while doesn't mean that you can't return potentially better than before.
He taught me through Trunks, that there's not enough darkness in this world that can block out all the light that comes from deep in your heart. If you have to go back into your past and seek the help from parts of your self to help you move forward; that's nothing to be ashamed of.
He taught me through Vegeta and Piccolo, that even those who are considered evil can be redeemed. At a closer glance, that evil comes from a place of desperately trying to subdue their own world by inflicting pain on others, to reunite with their true selves before they were taught to be that way.
And he taught me through Goku, that even when the walls are closing in, or the evil is 1000000 times stronger than you, that you don't give up because there is always strength inside waiting to be unleashed. Nobody gets to tell you what your limits are.
Thank you, forever Toriyama-Sensei. Your story will live on forever. And I bloody mean that. Have fun with the Kais, The Destroyers and Grand Zeno!
A SYMPHONY FOR TORIYAMA:
I wanted to use Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku as the basis for my Symphony; I'd never heard a choir sing the lyrics with the slower version used in the SSJ4 transformation before, so with the help of my friend Antonia Brightwell (who sung for me on Broly's Symphony), we created a choir together with hers and my voice. Each piece put together created a medley, and with each piece is a different theme/s:
Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku (Izumi Sakai and Tetsurō Oda) - Childhood, Generations
Universes Restored/Vegetas Sacrifice (Norihito Sumitomo) - The Echo Of Battle
Mystical Journey (Takeshi Ike, Seiichi Kyōda, Onikado Izumi) - The Story Of Dragon Ball, Friendship
We Were Angels (Takeshi Ike, Osamu Tozuka, Yukinojō Mori) - The Story Of Dragon Ball Z, Gohan's Rage
SSJ3 Powerup (Julius Dobos)- Transformation
Compromise (Norihito Sumitomo) - The Story Of Dragon Ball Super, Victory, Peace
Universes Restored (Reprise) - The Tournament Of Power, Breaking Limits
Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku (Reprise) - Sacrifice, Love
It was a lot of work making the video and art (I like to think that the choir singing Dan Dan Kokoro in my musical piece is the characters themselves singing). But I would accept nothing less when it came to making a Tribute for the man who's work was the greatest influence in my life. I tried my best to color correct each clip too, some were a bit too far gone though. Enjoy.

I never thought I'd actually be brought to tears for once. But yeah man. Akira Toriyama, the Legend, One of a Kind artist and creator many of us probably didn't deserve. But because of his dedication and passion, we were brought characters, who helped to shape the earlier parts of our lives. I for one, grew up watching Dragon Ball, from 1995 to this very day. Despite what anyone would say about the characters, the story, or even the designs. He never truly failed to satisfy the audience. Taking such a lifelong journey with Goku, Bulma, Master Roshi, Krillin, ChiChi, Dindei, Piccolo, and Tien. Yamcha, Chiotzu, Oolong, Trunks, Goten, Hercule, Videl and Pan, the newly arrived Bulla, Launch, Freiza, Cell, Buu, Beerus, Whis, the Grand Priest, and all the others I didn't name. It goes to show the journey was well traveled, and though the trip has ended for our faithful turtle hermit, I know he's likely left his work, in the hands of someone who will honor his memory, while keeping the Dragon Balls around for just a while longer, so we can continue to ask Shenron....for just one more wish. Before we truly have to say goodbye...Sensei 🙇‍♂️ 🙏

we all learned so much from dragonball and from goku ie compassion, 2nd chances, never giving up when the odds are against you, sacrifice, even some of the worst people are not beyond redemption, etc

Thank you, Akira Toriyama. For creating a work that has gone on to become a global phenomenon and helped many of us discover even more. Thank you for bringing us together, even if many of us live lands apart.

Toriyama will never be gone because we'll always remember the profound impact he made on manga and the lives of countless fans across the globe. He'll continue to inspire countless millions after all of us are reduced to dust by the winds of time.

❤Rip to the man that single handedly put shonen anime on the map. Not even the likes of Osamu Tezuka could do that.
