Meanwhile "Katamari on the Funk" sounds even more novel than the original in Senor Coconut's mambo remix. Blending Indian tonality with European orchestral instrumentation and Japanese female vocals, it shouldn't work, but it somehow does and fits elegantly within the Katamari world.

In each rendition, the arrangers clearly know how to bring out the personality and catchiness of Yu Miyake's original melody, while making daring and creative choices to reinvent the main theme after one too many uninspired remixes on earlier albums.Ī more world-inspired entry is "Cherry Blossom Color Season". Later in the soundtrack, Sexy-Synthesizer also arranges this theme complete with ancient Namco sound effects. Even the saxophone solo is surprisingly tolerable given how often the instrument is abused elsewhere in the industry. The instrumentals are superbly done too with a blend of pop beats and big band jazz.
Takuya Ohashi's vocals bring out the humorous and infectious melody, while bringing out a slightly charismatic and romantic aura.

With "Katamari on the Wings", the theme returns in full force with easily my favourite of its arrangements. The choice and use of instrument is spot on, given it creates just the right amount of sentimentality, while having an ethereal timbre appropriate for an amnesiac's mind. Yu Miyake immediately sets a familiar tone with a short reprise of the main theme for Rhodes piano. It's an interesting production, although not all remixes are for all. Regardless, the team offers more than enough material to at the very least get people talking. It's necessary to have some familiarity with the Katamari Damacy original score in the series to appreciate its remixed score. Under the direction of Yu Miyake, a team of arrangers and vocalists interpreted their favourite tunes from Katamari Damacy and successors to bring two discs worth of fresh, diverse, and often downright weird remixes. Fortunately, Katamari Forever back to the origins of the series, courtesy of the amnesiac mind of the King of All Cosmos. Subsequent soundtracks in the series have maintained much the same sound, but have often lacked highlights and deviated from the indie approach in favour of a more mainstream sound.
Katamari Damacy appealed to many people, myself included, for its humorous and innovative vocal soundtrack.
