Before my body is dry

Before my body is dry is the 1st track and first vocal song in the Kill la Kill Original Soundtrack. The vocals are sung by Mika Kobayashi and features David Whitaker for the rap portion in the original song. Before my body is dry comes in several versions: the original, a [nZk] version with instrumental only, and a karaoke version. Its also occasionally heard as a theme on several other songs like KiLLLakiLL and Gekiban Tokka-gata Hitotsuboshi Gokuseifuku.

Before my body is dry is usually played in the presence of Ryūko Matoi wearing Senketsu. The song refers to Ryūko's first meeting with Senketsu, how they need to work together to fight, and how they need to finish up her battle before Senketsu consumes all of her blood.

The song is first heard near the beginning of Episode 1, when Ryūko Matoi makes her debut appearance. A short excerpt of the song's instrumental intro is played as her character is introduced.
