5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolutely Beautiful Soundtrack, July 26, 2003

This review is from: Lupin the 3rd: Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I use to watch the reruns of this show all the time in 1995 when my family was stationed in Okinawa, Japan.

Just about every familiar track you heard played on the show is accounted for here! With the exception of I think two that I can't remember. One of my favorite tracks has got to be the 1978 theme song. This track is played in its original format unlike the Cartoon Network / Adult Swim version. Like the Japanese show, the characters introduce themselves in the theme song played at the start. Part of the reason this anime series is so famous is because of the musical score. Each film, series, and television special is gifted with a unique soundtrack of sheer euphonic soul. Just like each song on this soundtrack is gifted beyond words. Most of the tracks are either soft and easy, smooth and sexy, fast-paced and exciting. The spirit of the 70's is as present here as Charlie's Angels. The soundtrack covers about the entire run of the show and then some. Sounds more exuberant and energetic than any James Bond film--and that; I feel is an understatement.

Some people might be put off by the Japanese dialogue, which to me just adds to the authentic world of Lupin the 3rd. (Maybe I'm just open minded) Smart choice by Pioneer. I honestly thought they were going to put everything in English. You're not left in the dark too much because Pioneer was smart enough to give out English translated lyrics. If you listen to the dialogue while you read the translation, you will not only get a better understanding of what is being said; but you will hear the emotions being felt as well.

Bottom Line: This is a masterpiece! When you are done reading this, buy this CD! Your life just might have more meaning.
