Whether or not you like Katamari Damacy or not, you have to admire their creativity and sense of imagination. One of the highlights of each Katamari Damacy title has been an amazing soundtrack which usually feature quirky yet extremely high quality performances in both English in Japanese, many of which have become so popular that they’ve received their own chiptune arrangements.
We’ve been quite fortunate to get some time with the man behind the audio of Katamari Damacy, Yu Miyake, who has been working on the series since its inception. The main focus of this interview is the recently-released Katamari Forever and the high quality remixes of previous Katamari Damacy material that it features along with how he came to work at Namco and some other artists he admires. I also want to be sure to note that Tommy Ciulla and I collaborated on these questions, as he’s an even bigger fan than I am!
It’s a fun time, so join us in our interview after the jump. (more…)
