A Symphony For Akira Toriyama | By Gladius
Музыка
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.

The gentle, yet strong Gohan, the serious family man, Piccolo, The prideful Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta, and most importantly, the Saiyan raised on Earth, Son Goku. Thank you for the memories Mr. Toriyama. Your legacy will be remembered as one of the best manga artists and the creator of the one and only..... Dragon Ball. Edit: 637 likes??

I was sobbing just a little but smiling until seeing the moment with Goku teleporting in front of Cell and just giving Gohan a loving smile before teleporting Cell away. That was the moment when I just started crying a lot. This tribute is fantastic, from the little kid who started it all to the loveable goofball that became iconic worldwide. From the evil green alien to the amazing and caring foster parent to Gohan. From the prideful prince of saiyans to the amazing family man that learned the importance of having someone worth fighting for. And I could go on for ages with all these fantastic characters Toriyama gave us. RiP Toriyama-sensei, and thank you for everything. Your legacy will live on in millions of fans, both in the present and the future.

The truth
As someone who has been a fan of Dragon Ball for 4 years, never have i been so attached to this franchise. I finished DBZ recently and all I could do was smile and appreciate Toriyama's storytelling. And his influence has been astounding from the anime/manga industry and the gaming industry too. Thank you Toriyama. Thanks for being an inspiration to others and thank you for being apart of many people's childhoods
Thank you Akira Toriyama for everything, although he wrote Dragon Ball, it’s because of him that so many other anime exist today, it’s because a lot of manga writers were inspired by him, he really became a legend.
Thank you Akira Toriyama for creating more episodes of Dragonball Z,GT, & Super
Goku: Why don't we use the Dragon Balls to wish him back? Me: You guys have used the Dragon Balls to wish people back from the dead many times, but sadly, this is one wish that can't be granted. It's Sad but True. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.
Omg...I didn't think you could make Dan Dan Kororo Hikareteku sound even awesome....this moved me to tears as I'm typing this and Toriyama may be gone but his legacy remains and thank you Toriyama creating Dragonball without you I wouldn't of gotten into anime and ty and you won't be forgotten!

I thank God every day for having absolute legends like Akira Toriyama walk among us. The way they revolutionize their respective fields is truly something to behold. While millions grieve his loss, his stories will always live on in our hearts and minds. The reaper's scythe comes for us all in the end. I knew that the torch would have to be passed on eventually, but his passing still felt like a massive gut punch. It may've felt too soon for him to go, but like I said before, he deserves his spot in heaven for creating one of the biggest masterpiece series in all of anime and manga, and inspiring countless millions to always push forward and strive for more, alongside Goku and his friends. Rest in peace, King. You will be missed.
It’s been over a month and I still have a hard time seeing tributes like this without crying. Toriyama really shaped alot of our lives in one way or another. I’m not someone that normally gets overly emotional over a celebrity’s death, but his work is such a big part of my life that it almost feels like I lost a close friend. Thanks for everything.

Surprisingly, this is the first video for Akira, which has inserts not only with DB, DBZ and DB GT, but also DBS. But still, this video is not about one particular anime. This video is about the legendary person who made these very projects for children of the 90s, continuing to develop, it seems to me, for the better. Thank you Akira Toriyama. May you rest in power with King Kai.

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 🙇♂️ 🙏

I hope he rests easy, knowing that we'll carry the lessons he taught us to heart and always give it our all. It would be a disservice to ourselves, our dreams, and to the people we love. Rest in peace, sensei, your legacy will live on through us.

Goodbye Akira Toriyama sensi thank you for everything I'll miss you brother Gone but never forgotten
I don't know if the world will ever forget people like Akira Toriyama or Charles Monroe Schulz. In both cases, what they created will far outlive themselves. Their legacy is all of us.
I can say, I've been watching DBZ for over 5 years, and even with that I cannot tell you how much its changed my life and how much I truly love it. Its not just an anime we watch, its a journey and an adventure that we will always be on. It shows us how to become a better person and to help others no matter what the cost, even if were kicked to the ground. I know that I may sound bland, but Ive always loved Gokus character and have tried to imitate him whenever I was at my lowest in life. Thank you Akira Toriyama, thank you for not only giving us a story, but hope for us to continue in the future to share your beautiful story for generations to come. You truly are number number one.
Dragon Ball Z for me is what brought me into anime, first experience was seeing Goku turn SSJ... It was absolutely majestic. From there on I binged the entire DB and DBZ, started watching other anime like Berserk and such (It was like 2007, bless the computer and websites lol). To me - Toriyama's works shaped me, from the philosophy of training to transformations being my favorite thing. Thank you Akira Toriyama, for everything you've done. And damn man, this peace definitely hits hard, tear level hard.

Akira Toriyama: The Greatest Warrior.
I experienced a lot of trials last year as an undergrad senior and the very first thing that came back to me in all its versions, dubs, and forms was Toriyama’s work. I played the the American and Japanese OSTs religiously when I ran, worked out, and later embraced training in martial arts. It’s one of the many things that inspires me to pursue studying East Asia. The meaning of his work has grown throughout the years ever since I saw my friends play Raging Blast 2. In my early 20s, I still aspire to better myself, inspire others, and most importantly forgive. It takes one man to change it all. Even if he never thought it would be as popular as it is across oceans and nations. I think that’s kinda the magic to it. Unexpected greatness. Untapped potential. Generations of inspired people. Humanity and perseverance.
This is like a love letter to every fans out there and yes! Especially Akira Toriyama..😢

A franchise that broke the internet, made godlike revenue, and an infinite fandom. No other series will come close, whether show, movie, or game. Akira didn't create a legacy but a dynasty. We used to be made fun of for watching shows like this when we were young, now everyone for the most part understands why it's the first thing people talk about when you hear the word anime. Thank you Toriyama for making a series that encourages us to never give up, cherish your loved ones and always strive to be better. Thank you for inspiring the world.

Magnificent, Glorious, Sad, Hopeful, Emotional

I promise to keep this story alive to my sons in the future, the story and the one who created it . Even if the name of Dragon Ball fades in the future generations.
The world still mourns Akira’s passing. That man truly was a hero to everyone, and has given us all so much over the years. He’ll never be forgotten, and what he left behind will still be cherished for many more years to come.
Goodbye Akira Toriyama, you opened our hearts and changed our childhood, even make use think that if we built up enough rage we would go super sayian. Thank You For All You Given Us, Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama
Little did this man know, Akira Toriyama not only made the best anime that weve ever had the good fortune to experience, he built (dare i say) a family. Ive been a fan of his work for almost 30 years (old AF, i know 😂) but he brought us a show with every emotion we could think of; comedy, sadness, anger.... you name it. And it was an honor to have been apart of it. Ive made friends because of this show and i cant thank him enough for this gift. And gladius, you do a great honor with this tribute. Thank you. Rest in peace, Akira.
My childhood, and much of my adulthood, wouldn't have been as rich without you and your creations. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you! 😢❤
I first watched Dragon Ball Z on Toonami when I was a kid. Now I'm 32 years old and I can say without a doubt that Akira Toriyama changed my life and help to shape me and countless others of my generation into the men and women we have become today. His influence and his incredible ability to convey emotions through the art of story telling is a true testament to his legacy. Rest In Peace to the father of multiple generations.
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.
This really is a fitting send off for our sensei. Thank you and thank you Toriyama
Hearing this makes me choke back tears, for the man who built who I am, Thank you for creating such amazing pieces of work, Akira Toriyama. Rest Easy.
With an exquisite tribute like this, you kind of HAVE to end it with Goku at the end of GT flying off and saying goodbye to the viewers! Thank you for everything you’ve done for so many millions around the world, Mr. Toriyama.
This is beautiful, Dragon Ball was and always will be such a huge part of my life and reading your story on top of while already being emotional due to Akira Toriyama passing (May he rest in piece) I just couldn't hold back my tears, Thank you Akira Toriyama for everything and thank you GLADIUS for honoring him like this.

💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for reading, watching and listening. RIP 🐉
RIP Akira Toriyama sensei You saved my life. Thank you.
This is beautiful. Fantastic work. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get emotional listening to it. It still doesn't feel quite real. Akira Toriyama is one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to artwork. I spent years trying to mimic his style before I finally managed to find my own, and it's all thanks to the impact DBZ and later the original Dragon Ball had on me. He is now, and always will be, one of my heroes.
This is really well done. May he rest in peace. DragonBall changed the world.
Rest in piece akira toriyama and thank you for making such a masterpiece of a show along with some other projects. I hope you are having fun training with king Kai as we continue to rewatch your show that was amazing all the way through. One the of the best Mangakas in the world and truly an awesome human being. Akira toriyamas name will always shine bright knowing what masterpiece he has created and given to us. Rest in piece akira
