![]() ![]() It's also a bit harder to listen to and it almost hurts my ears. Although I have liked these electronic sound bites incorporated in other themes, I feel this one is just a bit less memorable. "Blue Orb" follows in the steps of original Katamari instrumentals such as "Walking on a Star!" or "Angelic Gifts". Of course, the overture is just a Katamari tradition there are not many other tracks that have a simple piano sound like this. It's a very relaxed take on the theme and reminds me of a nice stroll on a slightly breezy autumn day. It's a much fuller composition compared to the original "Overture". "Overture II" is simply an amazing jazzy piano take on the theme. The instrumentals are shorter in stock this time around. This is how I feel about a lot of songs on the album actually. It's certainly not bad, but I preferred the original rock style much more. As the title hints, the theme is now played in a swing style. Then we have the new official version of the theme, "Katamari on the Swing". It's a pretty silly track and I couldn't imagine listening to much. The second track is this fully a capella mix of the original theme. The first track is just an intro but it does its job of getting the listener hyped with a "we're back!" kind of feel. Being the sequel that it is, is it really possible to live up to a soundtrack that barely had anything wrong with it? Body Many shorter in-game scenario tracks were omitted from the album, which really should help make the album more solid. Though the original composer Yu Miyake returned, there were a lot of other Namco and licensed artists that were credited in this soundtrack. Katamari Wa Damacy is the official soundtrack to the second game of the Katamari series, We Love Katamari.
