Not what you think!

"I snapped this up immediately under the belief that it was the soundtracks of both games. IT'S NOT! The title is totally misleading and I felt sort of cheated about that.



Remembering the old adage of "caveat emptor" and not wanting to make a big deal over returning it, I sucked it up and gave it an honest listen.

Final verdict: not too shabby, sir.



There's some incidental music you'll recognize here and there, but for the most part, it's totally random yet accessible orchestral and J-Pop offerings. Think of this more as a "inspired by Katamari Damacy" collection than an actual soundtrack.



Given its hefty pricetag, I wouldn't consider this a "must"...and this is coming from someone hopelessly addicted to the games. However, it's definitely a unique curio to place next to your limited edition PSP cover in the shape of The Prince's head.



If you're a Katamari freak and the curiosity's killing you, give it a shot."

Pretty Good Soundtrack

"No, it's not all of the songs from the Katamari Damacy series, it's the soundtrack for Boku No Watashi No Katamari Damacy, also known as Me and my Katamari. I have the import game and it's very good, and this soundtrack includes the new songs from that game, and some missing ones from We Love Katamari. The new songs, such as Shabadoobie, Jesus Island, and Family Damacy are VERY good and up to the usual standard of Katamari greatness. The 2nd disc of this soundtrack is a lot of classical pieces, that I suppose are found in We Love Katamari, but I should play through again to find out. If you're wanting some new Katamari songs from an excellent game, I definitely recommend this. If you really want the past soundtracks, then buy them."

Again, a Namco Compilation

"The First CD is all the missing songs from Minna Daisuki Katamari Damashii (Everybody Loves Katamari Damacy(We Love Katamari)) and all the NEW songs from Boku No Watashi No Katamari Damashii (My My Katamari Damashii(Me and My Katamari)). I also imported the game, and the music is quite good, but getting even farther from the original Katamari Damashii (Katamari Damacy). The game itself has better music, only because of the fact they have some of the great original songs. Que Sera Sera, Lonely Rolling Star, Disco Prince, Moon and the Prince. Gooooooood stuff."
