Katamari Soundtrack: Music from the Japanese video game series
Ranked #4,034 in Games, #171,215 overall
Funky music from the quirky Katamari video game series.
Katamari Damacy is known for its fun and bizarre nature but did you know that the music featured in the Katamari games is, for lack of a better word, awesome?
The storylines in the popular Katamari Japanese video game series revolve around a highly sticky ball that you roll around and collect junk with in order to form stars, by order of the King of All Cosmos. (I know that sounds strange right now but if you've had a chance to play it, you will agree with me that it's quite addictive.) The Katamari soundtrack isn't any less quirky and the funky, trippy, sunshiny, jazzy and sometimes oddball song selections actually add to the game's charm.
Intrigued? Please do listen to some of the Katamari music that I featured below. Remember to turn your speakers on in full blast! Links to Katamari lyrics are also provided below so you can sing along to your hearts content.
