Leah Dizon is the absolute hottest. But I don’t want to give her all the attention. The Katamari Forever Original Soundtrack (or Katamari Damacy Tribute in Japan) features a wide variety of talent from Japan, including YMCK, arranger Kimitaka Matsumae, a high school marching band, and series staple Shigeru Matsuzaki (who sings the best song on the album, by the way). It’s really an impressive collection of music that lives up to the Katamari musical tradition in terms of both quality and weirdness.
What’s really interesting, however, is that this album is comprised mostly of remixes of older Katamari Damacy tunes. You’re either going to love them or hate them, but it’s definitely an interesting concept, and I found myself pretty satisfied with the album when all was said and done. I admit I’m pretty ticked that they left out “Katamari Holiday” from the gingerbread house level from We Love Katamari, but at least they got the rest of my favorites.
