The song

The song itself actually has nothing to do with the Dragon Ball universe, in fact it is a love ballad about a person who confesses their love for their significant other.

The lyrics were written by Zard lead singer Izumi Sakai, but the Field of View version was recorded and released first. Zard would go on to release a version of the song on their 1996 album Today Is Another Day.

Covers

On March 10, 2010 Shoko Nakagawa released a version of the song along with a cover to another Dragon Ball song, "Detekoi Tobikiri Zenkai Power", on her cover album Shoko-tan Cover 3.^[2][3]
