5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Fooly Cooly OST 2: King of Pirates (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this both this CD and the first one. This CD has a very different flow to it than the previous one (mainly due to the [Drama] parts of it). I would suggest this one more if you're a fan of the show, and go with the first one if you're newer to it. The reason that i gave this a five instead of a four, though, is that the music is superb. Mitsumune and the Pillows sound amazing on this disk. A definite buy for fans, and, if you like the genre, for others as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Missing Something, May 2, 2006

This review is from: Fooly Cooly OST 2: King of Pirates (Audio CD)

When you buy this soundtrack you know that your buying it for 12 songs and not 17 because five tracks are Japanese Drama's which take up about eight to ten minutes a piece. You come to accept that they're not going to change the entire soundtrack for the American fans and you leave it alone. The problem comes in when the Drama's take up way too much time and some of the other songs are shortened to fit the disc so they won't have to waste cash on a 2 disc. I feel that fans all over would have been more excited to see five more tracks from the Pillows instead of those drama's. The dialogue is probably very good and entertaining but if you don't know Japanese there pointless to you. Great songs like White Ash are limited to only 1:19 and it is so good that you want it to be longer because when your really into it it goes off.

The book that comes with the disc gives you some insight as to what the dialogues are about but they only help a little. The soundtrack is basically missing more Pillows and you can't get enough of them after I think I can and they give you more after it with a hidden track. Their music is very hype here; these guys know their instruments very well. You can't get enough of the style they play and the drummer is very talented. The best songs are the ones with vocals and even though this album is limited in some ways it's a perfect way to start your addiction to The Pillows music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great mix of The Pillows past work, June 16, 2006

I already said a lot of what I wanted to say in the my review of the first OST (see that for more details) But, this is basically just a mix of stuff from their 5th album through their 8th one. They stil however cut many of the songs down, one being Patrica used to be much longer and with lyrics, it was from their 6th album Little Busters, and I'm pretty sure Nightmare was cut down as well. This is still a great way to be introduced to The Pillows and still shows their great variety, but the one reason to get this CD would have to be the song I Think I Can, which was espically made for this CD, meaning you can't find it anywhere else, this is the only album that The Pillows made with this song in it, and it is quite a good one (course all of them are aren't they?)

It once again features a few works by Shinikichi Mitsumune, and they are once again well done by his synteizers and instruments.
But, it also features a few dramas, which were made by the japanese cast of FLCL. Although no translations are given if you know what they are saying a few of them are quite hilarious.

As I said in the past review this CD is a great way to introduce yourself to The Pillows, sorry for being breifer on this one but I said much already in the last review. This CD is once again a mix of great work from The Pillows nd features some amazing work from Mitsumune, and hilarious dramas to boot, I'd tell the stie name for translations, but too lazy, just google. Till later, P! (Pillows symbol, incase you didn't know)
