4.0 out of 5 stars INU-YASHA~The Best Of, May 23, 2005

By	Clarissa "MoonGoddess" (Ontario, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I confess, I'm not a real big fan of the Anime 'Inu-Yashu' but I know someone who likes it a lot, and every time I'd sit down and watch an episode with this particular person I always found myself enjoying the music being played during the closing credits. Every season it would change and so I begun watching the show just to crank up the volume as the song would start playing. I therefore decided to go ahead and buy 'The Best Of Inu-Yasha' and was pleased to hear many of my favorite cuts assembled together in this fine compilation. Highlights include the magical "Fukai Mori" by Do As Infinity (I especially love the flutes in this piece!), "Dearest" by the impassioned Ayumi Hamasaki, "Every Heart" by the fabulous BoA, the rockin' "I Am" by Hitomi, and another by Do As Infinity - "Shinjitsu no Uta" which is rockin' as well, only with more of a laid-back feel because of the lovely Japanese instrumentation... The music generally ranges from new-age pop melodies to contemporary rock ditties, making this a fairly eclectic listening experience, even if you don't understand a word of Japanese. And with the exception of the extended 'Inu-Yasha' theme song they all feature either male or female vocals.

Albeit very good I'm knocking a star simply because I've heard better Anime soundtracks before that are consistently solid. Here I find myself skipping a few, but that could just be me. You, on the other hand, might consider this a masterpiece so I recommend buying if you can find yourself a decently priced copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest cd ever!!!, December 9, 2005

A Kid's Review

Allright now! this is the third time Ive had to type this reveiw (dont ask,hey you can't!) so excuse the crummy typing. This is an awesome, beautiful cd. The track names on amazon are screwed up, so they are as follows:
1.Change the World-9/10-Catchy, and it you hate it at first first, give it a chance cuz it will grow on you.
2. My Will- 9/10-awesome everything, I think I knocked off a point cuz its a bit repetitive.
3.Fukai Mori-9/10- Luv the song and the flute pieces! Very reflective and pretty.
4.Ai no Uta-8/10- Nice, but I don't listen to it much.
5. I Am-8/10 hyperness at its greatest!Can be a it annoying, so don't listen to it time after time cuz then you'll start to hate it.
6.Dearest-10/10-Wow. Such a beautiful song, with Ayumi Hamasaki-san's beautiful voice and lovely piano solos.
7. Every Heart-10/10 this is the very first inuyasha song I ever heard, and the first j-pop song I ever heard. I first watched inuyasha really late at night and wasn't prepared to hear something so beautiful and sweet,Iwas blown away. My first thought was"why don't we have awesome music like this in America?".This is a lovely song, and is still special to me and always will be.
8. Yura yura- 8/10- Catchy and fum but I dont listen to it much.
9.Owarinai Yume(did i spell that right?)-8/10-kinda hard rock but it grew on me.
10. Shinjitsu no uta-9/10- This is a lovely, reflective song by Do As Infinity(same as Fukai Mori) and I love it!
11.Grip!-100/10-FINALLY the Great stuff! I adore this song-it is my favorite song in the world-the lyrics(I read the translation) are very thought-provoking but give a lot of hope, the way I see it. The melody is strong and happy and wonderful! Every Little Thing is officially off the charts for this song! I first heard the small version when I was watching inuyasha, ansd the adultswim(Adultswim..shivers..) people forgot to cut the opening song the way they always do(darn them!) and I was, as with every heart, blown away. I was nearly dancing around the room!the opening video was awesome to, even though I don't remember much of it, it was very bright and happy. What episode was that where they played that song..someone tell me, I wanna see it again!!
12. no mor words-9/10- beautiful, but boring at the opening.
13. Bonus track!!yay!!the Battle Teme(as i call it, or just the main theme)10/10-Veyr exciting,though short instrumental! WHEE! I can see Inuyasha running, or swordfighting when I hear it, or jumping in the air and whatnot.

All in all, this is an awesome CD, and completely worth the heavy price(40 dollars?!), but don't get a cheap one because it's probably a bootleg. This CD is too good for that! Buy it now!!!
