“You know me better than you think”: new Texas Attorney General reveals unexpected connection to Dragon Ball Z
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Working on the iconic anime gave Nathan Johnson extra cred in the eyes of his kids.
Texas State Senator Nathan Johnson recently won the election for Attorney General and decided to highlight an unexpected chapter of his biography. Long before his political career, he was involved in music for Dragon Ball Z: he composed the soundtrack for the first 67 episodes of the anime in the Funimation Ultimate Uncut Special Edition and five feature films in the franchise.
“If you grew up with Dragon Ball Z, you might know me better than you think. I wrote the music for 67 episodes and five movies, and I had an absolute blast doing it.”
According to Variety, the musician worked on the English-language versions of The World’s Strongest, The Tree of Might, Broly: Second Coming, Fusion Reborn, and Wrath of the Dragon. For the latter film, he even had to master a new instrument. To compose the theme for Tapion, who plays an ocarina, Johnson bought one for himself and tried to learn how to play it.
According to Johnson, thanks to Dragon Ball Z, he enjoyed a special kind of cred with his kids and their friends:
“My son was a year old at the time. I remember him sitting on my lap, something was blowing up on the screen, and he was like, ‘Oh, Daddy, Goku!’ He absolutely loved it. And for me, it was a chance to be creative and be part of a culture that few people ever get the chance to connect with so closely.”
