Very good compared to other Pokemon CDs put out in Japan. Excellent compared to the U.S. Pokemon CD. The description didn't include a track list, so here are the tracks for anyone curious. Of course, all songs are in Japanese. 1. Rival! -- New theme song from the Japanese version of the TV show. Nice song about competition and good sportsmanship. 2. Type: Wild -- New closing theme from the TV show. 3. Hey! Pikachu -- Duet between Meowth and Pikachu. Mostly Meowth. 4. Pokemon Sandwich -- A Pokemon name game. In Japanese, but easy enough to figure out how to play by listening to the names. 5. Rival! Karaoke version. Also included with CD was a plastic stencil with the shapes of several Pokemon and a metric ruler.

This is a great CD and my favorite one I own. It has 5 tracks on it but only four songs, which is kinda a downfall but it's worth every penny!

The first song is Raibaru!(Rival!) which is sung by Matsumoto Rika, the voice actress of Satoshi (Ash). This is my favorite song on this CD. I had heard the legends of satoshi's singing but never knew how true it was till I got this CD, and my friends agree. His/Her voice is amazeing! Diffently NOT a ear sore! This song makes you want to sing along with it and you can on the 5th track which is the karoke of this song.

The next song is TAIPU: WAIRUDO (Type: Wild) which is also sung by Rika. In this Satoshi singing about his journey, his shoes, and his home town. This one goes abit fast a times but you quickly learn the chorse.

HEY! PIKACHUU is sung by Nyaasu (Meowth). He's singing/talking to pikachu who talks back to him in the song. This song might not be sung the best or the fastest, but it's diffently the cuteist! Nyaasu calls her "Kawaii" (cute) once and... He sounds so JEALOUS! I think they would make a cute cupple if Rocket Dan and Sato-tachi (Team Rocket and Ash and co.) team up together.

POKEMON SANDOITCHI (Pokemon Sandwich) is sorta like the poke rap they have here I guess. It's sung by lots of people and is sorta like a game. You can learn the Japeness names of the pokemon and it's fun to sing along to. The main singer guy hurts your ears when he gets to long high notes but it only happens twice so it's okay.

This is a mini CD but it works fine in all the CD players I have used it in, ( 'sept for my computer which only takes a mintute or so to figure out what it is.) It comes with a paper of the lyrics and a ruler/stincel that has the outline of pikachu, another pikachu, togepi, and a Lapras.

A few months ago I started learning Japanese, and being a huge Pokemon fan decided to get this CD. I've been having a lot of fun listening to it. My favorite songs are Rivals, and Type: Wild. The other two songs are called Hey Pikachu (sung by Meowth) and Pokemon Sandwich. Both Rivals and Type: Wild are sung by Satoshi's (Ash's) voice actor. Strangly enough, she's a wonderful singer. Also it comes with the lyrics in japanese, and if you can read Japanese or use a chart to translate the Japanese Characters (Kana) it's fun to learn to sing along. Another neat thing about this CD is he fact that it's quite a novelty, because it's only about a third the size of a normal CD. It works just fine in any CD player though.

This is one of my favorite CDs! This CD has 5 Songs.. 1. Rivals! (I love this song!) 2. Hey! (This is the ending song) 3. Pikachu and Meowth.. (Damn, this is cute!)4.The SCARY Japanese Pokerap.. and 5. The karoke version of RivaL! If you love JAPANESE pokemon buy this! I love this cd!

Well actually this pokemon cd is one of my favorites. *eek can't decide really, because I love em all!* But it's totally awesome and unique too! I ordered it from amazon a few months ago, and was soo surprised, when I got it. Waa I don't remember ever seeing another one like it, it's size is 1/2 of a normal cd! Oh how kawaii! ^_^

The cd cover looks like one of those vacation brochures, and the artwork is super great! Well ok, now for the songs: "Rivals" is super kewl, and has a nice beat and it's the Orange Island battle theme, sung by Rica Matsumoto a.k.a Satoshi. *haha but I'm afraid he sounds like a girl* um sorta O.o
Bonus: You get to hear some of the pokemon like Charizard, Pikachu as they're battling. "Awesome"!

The next title: is in English, "Type Wild", sung again by Rica, and I gotta admit it's one of my favorites, it's about Satoshi's (Ash) sneakers, and his journeys, and days in Masura (Pallet) town. Really cute and addictive too! "Watch it, the beat is just real upbeat, but happy and hyper"! "hey just like Satoshi!" :P Every time I listen to it *gaa* I can't help bobbing my head like crazy as if I were one of those concert groupies! o.O The last part of the song, is sweet and is sure to inspire you: "For I know this will be a reality, so follow all your dreams.."*Get the OK! cd if you wanna hear the english version*
Then there's Pokemon sandwich, which is sweet. You'll be tempted to sing along as you get to learn about some of the Pokemon's Japanese names! What fun!! ^_^ And finally "Hey Pikachu", which is cute and funny, with nyasu a.k.a Meowth. Nyasu is singing about cute lil Pikachu, Pika replies and Nyasu is just singing about how great he is or whatever, *do I sense a little jealousy maybe?*heh I may not understand Japanese real good, but what the heck, this cd rules! Oh yeah, if you crave free stuff *like me* ^_~
You'll just love that "Rivals" also comes with a cute lil yellow ruler of pokemon with stencils! So hey what are you waiting for poke freaks like me go buy it already!!!!! O.o

The best Japanese CD I own by far is the one titled Rocket Troop, but this one didn't dissappoint me at all. The first two songs I could listen to all day-I don't have a clue who it's supposed to be singing them, but they have awesome beats. The third one is Meowth singing and Pikchu repeating his name-really cute. The fourth and fifth ones are not as good but still enjoyable. Do I recommend it? Yessiree!

This is a good CD even though it is a mini CD... it works in all of my CD players, but I don't dare use it in my computer, because it won't recognize what I am playing right away. So I just listen to it in my portable CD player. I recommend this one.
