This was an original free form/contemporary jazz style piece I did, myself. Oddly enough, when I first started working on it I just wanted to try my hand at making something beautiful without sampling. Around halfway through making the arrangement I heard the news and asked about it from my friends. One of my friends was moved to tears when he first heard apparently. To this day, I still remember when I first heard the Kahameha Wave and watched Goku summon his famous Spirit Bomb. I must have been around 5 to 6 years old at the time, playing video games and exploring anime for the first time at my babysitter's appartment.

To say the least, Akira Toriyama through his creation has helped shape a part of my life that I often took for granted most days. Unfortunately, some kids don't get to wake up on a Saturday morning and watch cartoons like my siblings and I. I will forever be grateful to have the experience of entering the world you made for us. A creator among many that I look up to but one of the greatest to do it. God bless you, Akira Toriyama.

Rather than cry or sulk in mourning, I have chosen to celebrate his life's work like a fellow artist. The point of the message "the weights are off" are exactly like when his prized character Goku first took off his. The goal in my work and my life are to search for and perhaps even achieve MAXIMUM FREEDOM and ultimate self-improvement and I hope my listeners strive for the same! Fight for good, fight for yourself, and become the best version of yourself! No more staying inside the box, no room for being lazy, and never any room for fear!

"Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war!"
