Dragon Ball DAIMA
In Dragon Ball DAIMA, life is peaceful for Goku and his friends until they’re suddenly shrunken out of the blue. When they realize the cause may be from a mysterious world called the “Demon Realm,” they are soon visited by a young Majin known as Glorio. Yoshitaka Yashima and Aya Komaki are credited as the directors of the series, with series composition and script by Yuko Kakihara, in addition to animation character design by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru. The opening theme song “Jaka Jaan” is composed by Grammy Award-winning artist Zedd alongside C&K (CLIEVY and KEEN), a singer-songwriting duo providing vocals. The lyrics are written by Yukinojo Mori, who remains a recurring lyricist for Dragon Ball since Dragon Ball Z, most praised for “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” and “Limit Break x Survivor.” The ending song “’NAKAMA’ by ZEDD feat. AI,” also produced by Zedd, was written and sung by AI.
