For those such as myself, who are avid fans of the Naruto series, you should be very familiar with the show, and the wonderful music behind it. One of the best parts about watching the anime (to me at least) is to experience the combination of good quality visuals, and stunning, emotional music that triggers so many emotions when you watch. Clearly, Toshira Masuda was doing something right, since he managed to put out 3 CDs of music from the show. Naruto Shippuuden, however, is not Masuda's work. When Naruto made the transition to Shippuuden, they changed a few things, most notably, the music. If you've heard the music from the old show, you know that it was medly of different sounds, ranging from rock type fight themes to somber, soothing japanese-esque flute and strings, to the comical (and sometimes annoying) themes. This CD is a bit different, more specifically, its very dark. I suppose the music is supposed to reflect the more mature turn that the series has taken on screen, and if so, Takanashi Yasuharu, the current composer, has done an outstanding job of finding the right sound for the right moment. There are an abundance of the soothing and somber japanese-esque type songs I talked about earlier that are extreamly pleasent for easy listening, and the action and suspense themes are all excellent. Even if your not a fan of Naruto, this is something worth adding to your music library if you have a taste for scores, or just world music in general. The only downside to this is that its so freakin' hard to come by, especially at a decent price. I was lucky enough to find it in a used CD store for $20 (the guy had no idea how much it goes for everywhere else). If you have the dough to blow, I say go for it, you wont be disapointed.

If you are a fan of the Naruto series then you know that Naruto Shippuden is the second part of the popular anime that takes place when the ninja of the Leaf Village are a little older and a little more experienced. This soundtrack captures the more serious and even 'dark' tone of the Shippuden series.

Unlike the previous Naruto Soundtracks - this CD has more solemn and serious sounds. Comprising of 28 tracks, Naruto Shippuden OST is an intense mix of sad, angry, and emotional instrumentals. As to be expected, most of the tracks contain hints of tradition Japanese instruments. There are no vocals tracks on this CD.

I recommend this CD for anyone who likes instrumental anime soundtracks or if you are looking for a great soundtrack to listen to as you read your favorite manga.

this product is decent. the movie soundtracks i think are 10x better but this can hold its own. i dont know about the other soundtracks for the other seasons but this is worth buying.

You don't need to be a Naruto fan to enjoy this music, it is totally awesome even for the first time listener who has never heard of Naruto. It has a haunting style with allot of emotion. Now being a Naruto fan you appreciate it even more. Allot of the music has a very enjoyable Chinese flavor to it even though by a Japanese composer. If you like the music from "Secret Garden" (especially their first two albums) [...]you'll love this CD!

This cd has lots of cool tracks on it that I listen to again and again. I found most of the songs that I heard in the anime that I enjoyed listening to. Most of the tracks are under 3 mins which comes in handy for when there is nothing good playing on the radio. The last track on the cd is about 10 mins and 10 secs long which is an exception. I would definately recommend this cd to any lover of naruto music.

Excellent tunes.

What dissapointed me is that it doesn't have the Sai soundtrack, it's a pity because that's my favourite

The Shippuden Soundtrack is truly one of my favorites. When I got it in the mail, I immediately sat down and listened to it. The faster, more epic songs pumped me up and the sad songs broke my heart.

There are no lyrical songs within the soundtrack. It's all instrumental, so if you're in to that, I'd totally go for this soundtrack! It's beautiful, inspiring and definitely worth the money!

all instrumental, all totally epic! if you've enjoyed the other naruto soundtracks, you'll find this to be way cooler and satisfying.

Naruto Shippuden is one of the few Anime shows that I actually think has not just one or two great songs. On this CD ALL the songs are great!! Unlike the other Naruto seasons' music, Shippuden's music has more action and more melancholy. However, it's music that you can listen to over and over again. This was a CD I wanted to get a while ago, but it was just too expensive! Some vendors asked for 75 dollars or more! But this vendor sold it at a reasonable price AND it arrived very fast! I would definitely recommend this vendor and item! I would buy from them again!

Tsugaru-jamisen. String orchestra. Modern rock. Choral voice.

Bundle all these together and you might have some idea of the greatness of this OST. It really captures each emotional situation well, to the point where you feel like busting out some sweet ninja moves of your own, or to the point you get a little shiver up the spine listening to the Akatsuki track.

This was one of those OST that I decided I couldn't live without after watching just one Shippuden episode. It really makes an impression on you, particularly if you enjoy tsugaru-jamisen fusion. Well worth the price (though if price is a problem, always check the marketplace for deals).
