"Z no Chikai" (「Z」の誓い, "The Oath of Z") is the upcoming fifteenth single by Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z, set to be released on April 29, 2015. The title track is the theme song of the 2015 Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no F theatrical film.

Details

"Z no Chikai" is the theme song of the Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no F anime film, which Momoiro Clover Z's members also perform in by voicing "angels from hell."[1]

The single was released in two versions; an "F" Edition (『F』盤) and a "Z" Edition (『Z』盤). The "F" Edition contains two tracks and their instrumental versions, a Blu-ray Disc of the title track's music video and has cover art depicting the group's members dressed as Dragon Ball character Freeza, while the back cover has a similar image as it would be seen through one of the series' "Scouter" devices. The "Z" Edition includes a cover of Dragon Ball Z's original opening theme song, "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" by Hironobu Kageyama, and an instrumental version in addition to the previous four tracks, with front and back cover art illustrations depicting the members in a Dragon Ball-style drawn by Toei Animation.[2][3]

A shortened movie version of the song will be included on the Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no F original soundtrack set be released on May 8, 2015.[4] An English-language version of the song has also been recorded. Kanako Momota admitted that the English lyrics had to be transliterated into katakana so that the members could sing them.[5]
