If you have played and don't love Katamari Damacy, you don't have a soul. If you didn't find yourself jamming out to the vast amount of music contained within the game at any point, you're just as guilty. Every fan of Katamari Damacy should have a copy of its soundtrack in their collection, and this CD, Katamari Fortissimo Damacy, is the best way to get it without ripping it directly from the game. I'll get the equally brilliant soundtrack to its sequel, We Love Katamari, at some point, but for now, this is all I have in this series.
My personal favorite tracks on this album are "Katamari On The Rocks", "Lonely Rolling Star" and "Que Sera Sera", but all of the songs in this collection are brilliant. There's no limit to creativity within the soundtracks of this franchise, and that much is apparent from its first installment; it leans a lot toward jazz, J-pop, soft and hard rock, and the occasional mixing of hip-hop, but you'd be hard-pressed to name a genre that didn't manifest in some fashion in this soundtrack. I got this for about 2000 yen before shipping, but people on eBay tend to price it at the $50-60+ area. I would recommend checking Japanese sources before even considering going to them, as it can save you a lot more money than you'd think.
