You can extract an apk with any unzip program (i used 7zip).
In dragon-ball-z-dokkan-battle-4-5-3.apk I only found one music file called bgm_009.awb in assets\bgm\.
Install foobar2000 and install the the vgmstream decoder by Kode54.
Then you should be able to play the bgm_009.awb file.
According to foobar/vgmstream it is this format: CRI ADX 4-bit ADPCM (type 9 encryption).

I do not know the game, but i suspect there should be more music than this one. So either i missed it in the apk.
Or maybe the game download additional data file. Then you should search that.

According to Wikipedia, ADX is a variant of MPEG2 audio. So mpg123 should be able to play the demuxed stream. But it says the file is encrypted and without a (legal) key, your are out of luck. Probably easier to grab the analog signal with an ADC.

ADX is an ADPCM format owned by CRI Middleware, not an mpeg derivative.

My mistake, the MPEG2 audio derivative is AHX.

Use Apktool (https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/) to properly decode *.apk then QuickBMS (http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm) with the appropriate scripts (*.awb/*.cpk/...).
If despite all that you don't succed, ask on ZenHAX (https://zenhax.com/).

You posted in the wrong section, didn't provide any useful information (url, not a single awb file) and despite this you got an answer.
Did you even try extracting the awb files with QuickBMS (http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm) with the proper script (http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/awb_afs2.bms)?

Downloading the music from youtube is probably an easier way.
