The world of Dragon Ball is no stranger to epic collaborations, but this one hits on a whole new level. Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Zedd has composed the opening theme for the highly anticipated TV anime Dragon Ball Daima, bringing his signature sound to the beloved franchise. Fans got a sneak peek at his work through the anime’s recently released main trailer, which features the electrifying track ‘Jaka Jaan’ by Zedd feat. C&K. For Zedd, working on Dragon Ball Daima is more than just a project—it’s a lifelong dream come true. The producer expressed his excitement on Instagram, saying, “It’s a dream come true to share that I had the privilege to compose the opening theme song ‘Jaka Jaan’ for Dragon Ball DAIMA!!! It’s really a full circle moment for me and an absolute honor being able to write for a show that had such a massive influence on me since a young age!” Having been a fan of Dragon Ball since childhood, this collaboration was deeply personal for Zedd. He wrapped up his message by thanking the anime team. In the process, showing immense gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to a series that shaped his youth. The track ‘Jaka Jaan’ is not just a one-man effort. The song also features the talents of singer-songwriter unit C&K, who contributed both to the composition and the performance. C&K’s involvement came at Zedd’s request, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the piece. Furthermore, the song’s lyrics were penned by Yukinojo Mori. He is the legendary lyricist behind iconic Dragon Ball songs like ‘CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA’ from Dragon Ball Z. He also wrote ‘Genkai Toopa X Survivor’ from Dragon Ball Super. This marks a blend of new and nostalgic elements, with Zedd bringing a fresh electronic twist to Mori’s signature anime lyricism. The collaboration is a perfect fusion of past and present, bridging decades of Dragon Ball history. What makes this announcement even more exciting is the fact that Zedd’s contribution to Dragon Ball Daima coincides with the release of his first album in nine years. The album named, ‘Telos‘, dropped on August 30th. Fans have eagerly awaited his return, and now, with his influence extending to the anime world, it seems Zedd is making up for lost time in the best way possible. With ‘Jaka Jaan’, Zedd reintroduces himself as a musical powerhouse. Moreover, he also taps into the hearts of millions of anime fans worldwide. Dragon Ball Daima is sure to be a major highlight.
