Dragon Quest Singles
Over the years, numerous Dragon Quest-related singles have been released that are rare, mysterious, and often redundant. As presenting individual pages for each of them would be limited due to lack of track times, cover scans, and production credits for nearly all such singles, they are instead concisely grouped here for those who need it. The vocal singles Dragon Quest III Naoshi Kougami Vocal and Dragon Quest V ~Wedding Waltz~ have their own pages. Those that have scans, track times, MP3s, and other missing details for any of these singles should contact me at chris [at] squareenixmusic.com. Thank you.
March Dragon Quest

Dragon Quest II ~Marriage Waltz~
| Record Label: | Apollon | A one track rendition of Dragon Quest II CD Theater released a week after said album's release. Naturally, it features drama performances accompanied by Dragon Quest music arranged by Hayato Matsuo. It's the series' strangest release and one of the most redundant too. |

Dragon Quest V ~ Strongest Book of Guidance
