Review by Rob Kelk

This is a faithful re-release of the original soundtrack CD - the only difference is that the photo on the back cover has been cropped to remove the original release information. The music is as good as I remembered. It's both evocative of the movie and fun to listed to on its own. Highly recommended.

This is an old-style CD Single, named after its first track - "Ashita Yuki no Bus ni Notte", the ending theme to the anime "Rocket Girls". That track, and the original track (the title translates to "Umbrella ~Simply, the rain falls~"), are quiet and relaxing - this is perfect music for a few moments when you just want to let the world pass you by. The remaining two tracks are karaoke versions of the first two tracks. As usual with karaoke tracks, they don't stand alone.

I was lucky enough to get an early shipping of one box of these figures. Each figure can be assembled in either of the two poses shown in the illustration; there is no need to chase rare poses or uniforms. The detail work is excellent for figures this size - not as fine as with larger-scale figures, but easily as good as the detail shown in the animation (down to Konata's mole). These figures are very good value for the money.
