I have just gotten this CD on October 13th and have finally gotten around to typing up a review. Anyway, it took me forever to decide if I really, truely wanted to get this CD. I was afraid (no matter how dumb this may sound) that the songs with English titles, would also be in English, don't ask me why, but for all who had the same fear as me, all songs are in Japanese except for the occasinal English verse in a song. Personaly, even if it is in Japanese, I think it is a great CD! Even if you can't understand, I mean, one of the reasons I got it was because it was in Japanese and from one of my favorite Japanese shows! I love to just all of a sudden pipe in and sing the one or two lines of English almost every song has (such as "just wild beat, communication" from, you guessed it, "Just Communication!" Or "looking for Mind Education" from "Mind Education!"). Another thing I was conserned about, was if the songs would be like the ones I heard. The only songs that I actually got the CD for, were "Just Communication" and "Rythem Emotion." "Just Communication" was how I pictured it to sound, of course with all the words, not just the little Midi version (kinda like a short, no word version of the songs.). Since I had only heard the Midi version of "Rythem Emotion" on the internet, I didn't get exactly what I expected from that song, but it was just as good if not better then what I heard! And there are plenty of songs from other Gundam series besides Gundam Wing (the series I have seen on Cartoon Network.). Even if you have not seen all the series, it is still fun to listen to the songs. I for one LOVE "Resolution" on track 7. Overall, the two songs I got it for ("Just Communication" and "Rythem Emotion") were great! And I found other loved songs too, such as "Dreams" even if I have not seen the Gundam series it is from. It is also interesting to look in the little booklet and see all the Japanese writing! And possibly you could maybe find someone to translate the lyrics for you so you could sing along in Japanese or English! In conclusion (sorry for the long read) I would say this CD was everything I expected if not more, if you love "Just Communication" as I did, or "Rythem Emotion" or even both, I would say to get this CD, it is much more convenent then getting two different ones, and you will find many other great songs on the CD! I love practically EVERY song! My friend even had me tape the first 4 tracks or so for her onto an old tape I had, and I got it stuck in peoples' heads because I made them listen to it at my Birthday party! Okay, I should probably stop typing now, I hope this is helpful to all of you! (If any of you wanted to know, I got it for a B-day present, and it shipped in about a week or so.)

Great sdtk. This CD features all the singles (give or take 1 or 2) from New Mobile Report Gundam W, Gundam W: Endless Waltz, Gundam X, The 08th MS Team, and Gundam Z. This CD is great to listen to on any occassion with its upbeat and catchy tunes. Almost all the lyrics are Japanese but who says there's a language barrier in music anyway? When you get into the music this doesn't seem to matter. Those who are looking for great songs by Two-Mix like "Just Communication," "Rhythm Emotion," "White Reflection," & "Last Impression," should look no further. Also tracks from ROmantic Mode like "Dreams" and "Resolution." All the tracks are great though. Buying this sdtk is more convenient than buying all the sountracks for the titles listed above if all you want are the singles. A must buy in my opinion.

When I purchased this CD, I was mainly interested in the now-famous Two-Mix songs, "Just Communication" and "White Reflection". However, after hearing this entire collection, I embarked on my now-overwhelming fascination with Japanese culture, particularly entertainment-wise.

Anyway, this collection contains songs not only from the "Gundam Wing" series, but also from "Gundam X", "Z Gundam", and Gundam 008TH MS Team". By now, anyone familiar with Cartoon Network's contribution to bringing anime to America will recognize at most three of the four "Gundam Wing" songs (unless you're a Gundam freak, you probably won't recognize "Mind Education"). Also, recently, with "008TH MS Team" being shown on Cartoon Network, those related songs should also be recognizable as well. All of these songs are beautiful and just-plain satisfying. You have soft ballads, medium-paced tunes, and even hard-rocking songs (although not TOO hard). Along with the "Gundam X" and "Z Gundam" songs, this diverse collection should appeal to anyone and everyone.

Now, personally, I enjoyed the Two-Mix songs (they alone are worth the CD's price) and a few of the "008TH MS Team" songs. The final three, all from "Z Gundam", however, didn't appeal to me that much. Maybe it was because the first one was too bouncy, the second one was the first one's karaoke, and the third (an instrumental) was a little short to be really satisfying.

But personal tastes aside, there is undoubtedly something in here for everyone. If you want to have one Gundam CD that spans more than "Gundam Wing", this is what you're looking for.

I'm a big anime fan and thus enjoy the music from different anime. The Gundam music is just as good as the Fushigi Yuugi music, and Two-Mix rocks! The music from Gundam Wing is excellent-Really gives you the idea of the "A.C. 195" world. I'd give it a 5 star rating!

i have this cd and like most that bought it i got it for just communication and rythym emotion.i found much to my liking it had more gw songs. and a few songs from older gundam series'.(and if you listen in ten years after it says son of donkey) even if i cant understand most japanese this is a great cd.and for gundam wing obsessers like me it is a must have.

The Gundam series has always had great music, and this CD makes great sampler. The opening tracks really grabbed me by both ears and made me wanna sing along...(even though I didn't really understand it completely ^_^) My favourite tracks are those from "The 08th MS Team", especially its opening title (trans: Shining in the eye of the storm(?)) and the ballad "Mirai no futari ni". The vocalist (Yonekura Chihiro) has a nice, clear voice that carries both the fast and slow numbers well

ah man this was a real good cd i really recondmend this cd if you you love Gundam

It features all the music I like and it's just a blast. If you are a Gundam Wing fan, this music is great for you. also makes a great gift to an anime lover!

This CD ROCKED! BUY IT NOW OR BE SQUARE
